Play and Symbolism

 I went to see The Man Who Came to Dinner on Thursday night with Jessica and two of our friends.  I had no idea what this play was about since I have never read it even heard of it before.  I think it is better that way because then I have nothing to compare it to or nothing to criticize.  To me, if I already know what happens, the plot can’t build up and that takes away the suspense, which is why, at least I, people go see plays.  Instead, I got to sit back and enjoy it, which I did! 
What I liked most about this play was it had every aspect of stories; a good plot, humor, suspense, romance, and a little bit of action.  I also really like things set “back in the day.”  It is funny to see how the same problems existed back then, but how they are played out differently as well.  I thought that all of the characters things their parts amazingly, you really got to tap into their character.  You felt sorry for the kids, you loved Sherry’s friends, you hated Sherry’s lady friend, and you could really get along with his assistant.  I think if you can find that relation and really get in tune with the play to the point where you are affected by it, then you can call it nothing less than a job well done. 
I decided to do a painting that would symbolize me.
