This play isn't quite what I thought it would be about. It is different from most books I've read, but there is some book it reminds me of....I just can't remember it!!
I relate to Tilly the best of all the characters. She likes school a lot and enjoys learning, which I do too. But, there is a lot about her that I can't relate, like when her mom doesn't want her to go to school.
When Beatrice talks (or rather yells) to Nanny, it reminds me of Junie B Jones. This is a strange connection, but I think it is because the font is all capitalized, has lots of exclamation points and is repetitive, which is how Junie talks a lot.
Overall, this play is....interesting. I feel like there is a deeper meaning, some fantastic analogy hidden under the crazy storyline, but I haven't found it yet.
I completely agree that the story is different than the impression the title makes, or even the back of the book. I find the Junie B. Jones connection random, but very true.
ReplyDeleteI love the Junie B. Jones books!!! :) I remember reading them and wondering why she would always yell instead of talk. I agree on your last sentence, I get this feeling like there is a greater meaning behind everything, but its VERY subtle.
