All My Son's Prediction

theatrewesternsprings.com

I believe that Annie and Chris are going to get married eventually. I think they are very in love and its what they both want. I don't think that Chris's mom will ever be alright with their marriage but, I think she will find a way to accept because she loves them both. I am not sure why Annie's brother has called and needs to see her right away. I think that it is important however so it could change things in the play.

To the Jews night and darkness symbolizes a world without God. Many of the awful things that happened to Jews happened at night. This makes them believe they are in a world without God.

Night is very scary to me. If I was the Jews this would be the worst time for me. They had no idea what was going to happen to them throughout the night and the fact that night already represents a world without God would have only made it worse. To me this also makes me think of how mean the people are here and how dark they were to murder so many innocent people.

Fire represents the cruelty during the Holocaust. Madame Schacter has a vision of fire as a warning to them and it also represents the burning babies and most importantly the crematoria. The Jewish tradition is that the wicked get punished by fire but, this is the wicked punishing with fire.

My first thought when I think of fire is the crematoria. I cant imagine seeing my friends and family being thrown into a fire and then having to smell their burning flesh. It also makes me think of Madame Schacter and how her vision of fire was such an important warning to them but, no one would believe it.

This represents how the sons had treated their fathers and sacrificed them for their own survival. It also explains how Ellie had sacrificed his own father for his survival.

This to me shows how if someones life is on the line they are willing to do anything to save themselves. I think most of the father and sons relationships become so different by the end of the story. they are mistreating their fathers and willing to let them die just to save themselves which to me is something I dont think I could do.

This represents the Jews seeing how mean people can really treat one another. It also shows that instead of being there for each other in these times they all turn against each other.

In the story this theme stands out a lot. Everyone sees how mean people can treat each other and how cruel people are. Ellie sees people being cruel but, he also sees in himself how he has become cruel. Its also not only the Germans being cruel but also the prisoners being cruel to eachother. This makes me mad because I dont understand how people could murder so many other people and not even feel guilty about it. I think this theme gets to a lot of the Jews and troubles them very much.

Silence represents two different things in this story. It stands for the people and how they are devastated by Gods silence. It also represents the silence of all the victims in the camps.

Silence is one of the worst things to me in this story. I feel so bad for these people and how they lose their faith in God because throughout everything they went through he was silent. He did not help them. This also bothers me because when people are getting beaten and mistreated the people had no option but to be silent and watch as their friends and loved one either got mistreated or killed right in front of their own eyes. If they were to speak up they would be tortured or even killed.

In the beginning Ellie strongly believes in God and cant imagine life without God. Throughout his experience his faith is shaken by how all the prisoners are being treated in the camps.

To me this represents how strongly Ellie believes in God at the beginning of his story but, by the end he has no faith left in God. This also shows how awful these people were treated during the Holocaust. These people believed so strongly in God and for people to come in their lives and make them question their faith is devastating. This is very important to the story and helps people to understand what the Jews went through.

My favorite character so far has been Lena out of A Raisin in the Sun. She is my favorite because she inspires me. She is such a strong woman and believes in herself and her family so much. She is also my favorite because she reminds me a lot of my grandma. My grandma never gives up on herself or our family and she also has a lot of pride just like Lena. She just makes me believe in myself and that no matter how tough life gets you can get through it.

A Raisin in the Sun has by far been my favorite that we have read. This has been my favorite because it makes you think about what life was like for African-Americans and how they much they struggled. It also made me think about the importance of family and pride. This family is strong even though they go through many struggles and face many problems and it gives me hope that even when my family goes through things that we can get through them.

The Inability to make Meaningful Human Connections

paintersforhumanrights.blogspot.com

I think this picture describes the play because it is like Beatrice is scared and doesnt want to interact with the world and she also doesnt want her children to either so she tries to hold them back.

I think that Beatrice is a big example of this because we hardly ever see her interacting with the outside world. The only time we see this is when she is on the phone and when this happens she is very nasty and shows inability to connect with anyone. Nanny is also example because of her disabilities and being put with someone like Beatrice she is sheltered from the world also.

Examples

1. Beatrice puts paper over the windows of their home like she is trying to keep everything out.

2. She is very mean and rude to the principal when he calls about Tille.

Life Versus Death

shirtwoot.com

This picture describes the play because in the play I believe that Tillie is the life and that she is the character on the right and Beatrice is the death so she is the one on the left and they struggle to come together and change things.

I think in this play death plays an important role. We think a lot about nanny and how old she is just wondering when the day is going to come that she dies. Beatrice is constantly putting her children down and trying to kill what they believe in and do anything to make them unhappy. Beatrice also in the end kills Peter the rabbit with chloroform which really shows us how cruel she can be. I think Tillie is the only one in the play who does not represent this because of her science project and her accomplishment of giving life to the marigolds.

Examples

1. Beatrice kills Peter knowing it will make her daughters very upset.
2. Tillie grows her marigolds even after being put down by just about everyone around her.

Dreams

cybernation.com
I think this picture represents the play because I think that the dreams that the characters have are only going to be achieved if they really believe.

I think that dreams are important in this play. For Beatrice her biggest dream obviously is to open a tea shop. We are also constantly reminded about Ruth's past because of a dream she has and Beatrice is able to calm her by telling her a dream she used to have all the time. Tillie's biggest dream I believe is one she found at school in her science class.

Examples
1 Ruth wakes up and has has a seizure because of a dream she had about mr. Mayo.
2. Beatrice constantly talks about opening her very own tea shop.

Self-Image

manmadecreations.com
This picture represents self image because when each of the characters look in the mirror they see something different and what they see is how they act and respond to things.

Ruth is very worried about the way that she appears to others. I think she takes this after Beatrice because she is the same way. I think Ruth is willing to do about anything to fit in. She also thinks of Tillie as an embarrassment because she doesn't care so much about her appearance. Tillie knows she gets teased all the time but yet she still believes in herself and doesn't try to change to fit in.

Examples
1. Ruth is completely embarrassed by Tillie when she gives her demonstration of the atom at school.
2. Even though Tillie gets made fun of for her atom she sticks with it and doesn't let it bother her.

Triumph in the Face of Adversity

obnosis.com

I think this picture describes the play because Beatrice has always wanted to achieve her dream but, never has yet so when she does it will be that much more satisfying.

In the play Beatrice lets what has happened in her life get to her very badly. She wants to make things better but she lets how she acts to everything stand in the way of this. She doesn't see anything good and i think she takes this out a lot on her children. Tillie however can see good in just about anything. She doesn't let things get to her and she always is able to stand back up after she has been knocked down.

Examples
1. Although Beatrice always puts Tillie down she doesnt let it get to her and still believes in herself.
2. Beatrice lets things get to her and she takes it out on her children constantly by bickering at them and never just appreciating them

This picture represents me because I am going to college to be a nurse. I have wanted to be a nurse ever since I can remember. My biggest influence was my grandma. I love learning about the body and I enjoy helping people. Being a nurse is very important to me because I've wanted to do it for so long and it is my biggest goal at this time. I know getting there may be hard but I am definitely up for the challenge.

I really like when there is a bunch of them together because I think they are just beautiful. Sunflowers have always been my favorite since i was little. I think I just like them because they are bright and put me in a good mood

This picture describes me because my favorite color is yellow. Yellow has been my favorite color since I can remember. I like it because it is bright and reminds me of the sun and I love the sun. I hate dull colors or anything that is dark because it makes me think of depressed and yellow definitely makes me think of happiness.

I just started playing varsity last year and it is a lot different than before but, I still love it. Ive won two awards since I've played in high school and I've made a lot of new friends from playing.
