Catherine's Blog 3


1. Discuss the similarities and differences between the play Scuba Lessons and Sure Thing. Use evidence from the story to support your claims.

There are many similarities between Scuba Lessons and Sure Thing, such as setting, character types, and even themes. Both stories were set in a coffee type shop in which the setting is made quiet and comfortable for the story to take place. The characters are also similar in the way in which they are young with a focus on the theme of love. Love is at the heart of both of these stories in both the conversations and arguments.

There are however differences that also lie in the characters. Instead of two like in Sure Thing, there are six in Scuba Lessons. Also, in Sure Thing, the conversations seemed deeper including talk of literature and background versus Scuba Lessons' shallow talk of everyday life.
