I'll begin by refering to my theater experience. I love theater, I sincerely do. I like acting, producing, directing, working with the sound, the lights, even the props. Though I won't choose it as a career, I've liked it since highschool. During all my highschool I helped out in the staging, the rehearsals and anything that I could. Hence, I learned a lot from that.
So, moving on to the real subject, the skit I presented with my group. So the theme was descrimination, a theme that has been in my life since junior high. I don't hate it, but I dislike it a lot.
Yeah, I might sound inconsiderate, I might be mean, but this is a theme that doesn't have any influence in my life, specially because I don't care about differences unless you try to force an opinion on me. Anyways, the plot was about how a TSA officer is being racist against a mexican that was going on a business trip. I was the racist TSA officer (FYI), and the lines that I had were lacking of motive, but I couldn't really nag about it. We didn't have that much enthusiasm about it, nor a good enough story for it. We tried making it fun for us, and were prohibited of doing so. At the end, the experience was boring, we didnt get to say all of our lines because the nerves ate my groupmates, but we managed somehow.
So, Trifles...I was never specified what exactly to compare about between my experience and Trifles. So I'm gonna begin with the plot summary. There's an investigation for the mysterious death of someone. Nothing about descriminating another person. Now, from what I read, it doesn't give fake feelings through the dialogue, unlike mine. Other than this, I can't really compare much with details. That's all I have for this one, thanks for your attention.
Hi, about the part you mentioned Triffles, for me, if the story had anything to do with the TSA story you presented, it would be the fact that there is discrimination in both stories. In the TSA story there is discrimination against a Mexican passenger and in Triffles there is discrimination against the women of the story. It is not much, but it is a similarity there.
ResponderEliminarI found that discrimination in "Trifles" could, and is, better described with other words that are not discrimination. You could call it male chauvinism, and we can see that Mr. Wright behaves in this manner when he doesn't allow his wife to sing in the choir much less have a canary. Wouldn't you agrree that this behaviour is discrimination? Mr. Wright does not let his wife do things that please her and give her joy, and we can associate this to the traditions of the period. In the 20th century, many women suffered as they tried to be voiced, to have their thought be taken into consideration and to have a say in manners of the family, so mention a relatable example.
ResponderEliminarI think we can find discrimination to women in Trifles. I would explain this, but I think it's better if you read it in my post. Anyway, I believe in this assignment you are a fish against the flow. You are tried to make things your way, go on the direction you felt was the right one, but instead you found yourself against everybody and every rule. And at the end, you had no remedy than to go with the flow even though you didn't like it.
ResponderEliminarThere's discrimination in Trifles, fyi. Women got thrown aside by the men and ironically they were the ones who solved the case. How this relates to the skit? I guess, there was discrimination on it, just not the same way as Trifles.
ResponderEliminarHello Angel! The only true thing that we can say that both our skit and Trifles had in common was the ever present discrimination factor. Although my experience wasn't the same as yours I wouldn't say that we had such a bad time with it as your portraying it was...
