I personally feel like Marji has a'lot to learn. When you are young you are still learning the ways of life , even as you get older you learn new things. As time goes by she will find herself as a person and have a different view of life that she has now
THE TRUTH 1% THAT £0 WEARS AGO THE FATHER OF THE SHAM, “WHO WAS A SOLDIER, ORGANIZED A PUT SCH TO OVERTHREW THE EMPEROR, AND INS TULL & REPUBLIC.
This shows her coming of age because before she thought that god was the person who chooses the ming but little does she know she's wrong and thats what her father tries explaining to her
WILLIE: Is okay, Boet Sam. You see. Is . . . [He can't find any better words.] . . . is going to be okay tomorrow. [Changing his tone.] Hey, Boet Sam! [He is trying hard.] You right. I think about it and you right. Tonight I find Hilda and say sorry. And make promise I won't beat her no more. You hear me, Boet Sam?
this is a good turn out for willie because at this point in the play he stops beating his wife and realizes that he wants to become a better person because he regrets the person he was before.
HALLY: I don't give a [crap] about my homework, so, for Christ's sake, just shut up about it. [Slamming books viciously into his school case.] Hurry up now and finish your work. I want to lock up and get out of here. [Pause. And then go where? Home-sweet [ . . . ] home. [Geez], I hate that word. [Hally goes to the counter to put the brandy bottle and comics in his school case. After a moment's hesitation, he smashes the bottle of brandy. He abandons all further attempts to hide his feelings. Sam and Willie work away as unobtrusively as possible.] Do you want to know what is really wrong with your lovely little dream, Sam/ It's not just that we are all bad dancers. That does happen to be perfectly true, but there's more to it than just that. You left out the cripples
Here shows characterization because it shows how hally has a really bad temper and acts out before trying to resolve situations in more of a calmy matter but instead because hally isn't that type of person the first reaction is to lash out
Of course it is. That's what I've been trying to say to you all afternoon. And it's beautiful because that is what we want life to be like. But instead, like you said, Hally, we're bumping into each other all the time. Look at the three of us this afternoon: I've bumped into Willie, the two of us have bumped into you, you've bumped into your mother, she bumping into your Dad . . . None of us knows the steps and there's no music playing. And it doesn't stop with us. The whole world is doing it all the time. Open a newspaper and what do you read? America has bumped into Russia. England is bumping into India, rich man bumps into poor man. Those are big collisions, Hally. They make for a lot of bruises. People get hurt in all that bumping, and we're sick and tired of it now. It's been going on for too long. Are we never going to get it right? . . . learn to dance life like champions instead of always being just a bunch of beginners at it?
Sam is trying to explain to hally that dancing is something you get down packed right away , it takes time to get better but hally simply believes that it takes no skill or time to learn how to dance
es, gentlemen, that is precisely what I am considering doing. Old Doc Bromely - he's my English teacher - is going to argue with me, of course. He doesn't like natives. But I'll point out to him that in strict anthropological terms the culture of a primitive black society includes its dancing and singing. To put my thesis in a nutshell: The war-dance has been replaced by the waltz. But it still amounts to the same thing: the releases of primitive emotions through movement. Shall we give it a go?
this can show how dancing and singing is a big part of black culture , and it has been for many many years as it passes from generation to generation
The sound of the big band, Hally. Trombone, trumpet, tenor and alto sax. And then, finally, your imagination also left out the climax of the evening when the dancing is finished, the judges have stopped whispering among themselves and the Master of Ceremonies collects their scorecards and goes up onto the stage to announce the winners.
Sam goes into detail about how it feels to be ballroom dancing , so that Hally can understand what kind of feelings you may get when you are dancing on that ballroom floor
He was also no good at school. SAM: Like you and Winston Churchill. HALLY: [Mirthlessly.] Ha, ha, ha
sam and hally are joking around here but maybe sam took it a little overboard
tried. I looked at the chapters in the beginning and I saw one called "The Struggle for an Existence." Ah ha, I thought. At last! But what did I get? Something called the mistletoe which needs the apple tree and there's too many seeds and all are going to die except one . . . ! No, Hally. HALLY: [Intellectually outraged.] What do you mean, No! The poor man had to start somewhere. For [Goodness] sake, Sam, he revolutionized science. Now we know.
Here you can see how both hally and sam have two different point of views on the book
WILLIE: There is nothing wrong with my legs. Sam is just making jokes. HALLY: So then you will be in the competition. WILLIE: Only if I can find me a partner. HALLY: But what about Hilda? SAM: [Returning with a bowl of soup.] She's the one who's got trouble with her legs. HALLY: What sort of trouble, Willie? SAM: From the way he describes it, I think the lady has gone a bit lame
Willie feels like Hilda isn't fast enough with her legs to keep up with him in dancing because as he said before "That's her trouble. She can't move them quick enough".
HALLY: Did you hear my Mom talking on the telephone, Willie? WILLIE: No, Master Hally. I was at the back. HALLY: And she didn't say anything to you before she left? WILLIE: She said I must clean the floors. HALLY: I mean about my Dad. WILLIE: She didn't say nothing to me about him, Master Hally. HALLY: [With conviction.] No! It can't be. They said he needed at least another three weeks of treatment. Sam's definitely made a mistake. [Rummages through his school case, finds a book and settles down at the table to read.] So, Willie!
Hally is still trying to figure out what is going on with his father , and if he's actually coming home from the hospital or not. He doesn't seem too excited to find out whether he is or not
HALLY: [Stopped short by Sam's remark.] What do you mean? SAM: The hospital phoned. HALLY: To say what? SAM: I don't know. I just heard your Mom talking. HALLY: So what makes you say he's going home? SAM: It sounded as if they were telling her to come and fetch him.
Here you can see that Hally's mood had shifted with the news that her father may or may not be coming back home from the hospital.
Claire is three? Four? Four drinks in to something bright pink that the host calls panty-dropper punch, one drink for every month her mother has been dead so far. She still thinks of it that way, as in: so far, her mother is still dead, but that could change any day now, any moment her mother could walk in and demand to know what she is doing, and what she has been doing, tonight, is drinking. Grief has a palpable quality, and it is all she can feel unless she’s making an active effort to feel something else. Tonight she is feel-ing drunk—pink and punchy and panty-dropping, because all of those things mean she is not at home, where Puppy has already strutted into the space her mother left behind with such velocity that it’s clear to Claire that her father checked out well before her mother did.
Claire is still dwelling really hard on her mothers death , she's using alcohol as a way to deal with the tragedy.
Claire fears that she will lose both her mother and her other mother, but it turns out that it is worse to lose only one,

Claire and Angela forever. By adolescence they have both lucked into beauty, but neither has really noticed yet; there is so little room for interlopers in the tight world of their friendship that they are often each other’s only mirrors
This shows that both Claire and Angela have a lot in common. They are a reflection of each other.
He is too gentle with her even after she tells him not to be; after he is finished she has to fake an orgasm to get him to stop
This shows that Claire isn't into the sexual intercourse she is having with Aaron. Claire is known for having sex with individuals she doesn't really have love towards.
She prints out a copy of the flag and tapes it to her dorm window. She calls the reporter from the student paper back and tells him she is simply celebrating her heritage, like any number of groups on campus encourage students to do.
Claire feels like the right thing to do is tape the confederate flag to her dorm window only because she says she is simply celebrating her heritage. This may show that she can be a racist, but i feel like this is just an action out of anger.
They try hanging out at his house once, but Claire feels shamed by his mother’s scrutiny, assumes she wants to know what’s damaged or defective about Claire that has her screw-ing a high-school boy.
Claire feels ashamed about what jacksons mom may think about her especially because she is having sex with a high school student and she is in college
Some-one using the email fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou@gmail.com thinks she is a cunt. Twenty-two different rednecks from around the country have sent her supportive pictures of their penises.
i think this can portray how disrespectful people can be behind a screen. Also , it shows how these "rednecks" have no respect too because of what they are sending Claire
he makes a show of stripping off the shorts and shirt. In the few minutes before he takes it off and fucks her in the truck’s cab,
They both have sex in the car so that they can avoid getting caught by their parents.
Claire goes from eating salad to eating meat.
