Cedric: Blog Post 3


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

One main difference between the two similar plays was the amount of characters. In the play Sure Thing, the only characters are Bill and Betty. In the play Scuba Lessons, they were the two main characters on their date but four friends came into play and take away from the focus. Also, this play displayed the multiple outcomes depending on what Bill and Betty talked about. They would start a conversation and when it went sour a bell would ring and the conversation would start over.

Similarities between the two plays were of course the café setting and the conversations between an man and woman on a date. In both plays, it was relevant that that the goal was being perfect for their partner. In Scuba Lessons, Kelly lied to make herself more attractive and likeable. In Sure Thing, the bell continued to ring until finally they were in love.


Overall two great plays that captured my attention.
