- 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 pieces we are discussing is the characters. In The Sure Thing the two main characters are Bill and Betty. In Scuba Lessons, there are six characters. The first two are the focus, but then four more come along and take over the focus of the piece. Within the conversations of the characters, there laid many differences. One couple seemed to be more laid back and talked about books and knowledge, while the other couple in the other piece talked about sports and action. The second couple seemed a bit more interesting.
The similarities are that both have an overriding theme of romance. Also, both display the same setting and similar conversations between the main characters. The couples also shared a relationship similarity. In the beginning of both relationships, both couples acted the same way toward one another. It seems that between both pieces, the challenge of keeping your relationship is what both sides and couples were trying to overcome.
I liked the idea that your last line presented. i would have enjoyed a more detailed analysis on the differences between the stories becasue i sure thing it was like a swing and a miss type of deal. The picture takes the cake with relating the two stories together.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you made 2 seperate paragraphs for the similarities and differences. I found the first paragraph difficult to read because you were referring to them as the first couple and second couple and it was difficult to tell which couples you were talking about. Overall this was a great post!
ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job stating the similarities & differences between the two stories. I think if you had referred to the stories by their name rather that "first" and "second" it would have eased the following your ideas. You were clear & consise...good job!!
ReplyDeleteYour post was short and simple but got straight to the point. You pointed out the main similarities and differences between the two plays. You could have used a few more detials from the plays. Good job.
ReplyDeleteFrancesca, I loved the way you organized this blog post -- it was incredibly easy to read and the picture was extremely fitting. I do feel that you could have supported your claims a bit more with evidence and specific lines/issues from the story. Overall though, your blog was pleasant to read - short and sweet! Thank you.
