In Class Performance Reflection.

Post a short reflection on your blog -- what did Tuesday's in-class performances reveal about the characters and stories presented? What was interesting and what did it make you think about or realize? 250-300 words   

I think that the in class performances revealed a lot about the characters presented in each story. One thing that I noticed throughout all of the performances was that there was one or more character who was in distress. In my group, Nan was Cellianne who was raped and had scars on her face. She was separated from her family. In Helen's group, she is the female narrator who missed the boat to the USA. The importamce of that boat was that her boyfriend who she loved was on it. In Yun's group, it is about how the husband can not see his child because he and his wife separated. In Josh's group, these two people are also separated from each other. All of the performances had this theme is common with each other. It seems like in every story, there is a horrible event that happens at the end. Most of the endings end up in death. Death is such a common theme in these stories because the person is either killed by standing up for what they believe in, or they see no way out so they commit suicide. I thought it was interesting how each group had the different characters meet. It showed that they all have similar lives. I felt like the scenes that were created were very creative and it helped me to understand how thr characters in each story are linked together. I feel like all of the characters in book will be similair to each other.
