1. Discuss the similarities and differences between the play Scuba Lessons and Sure Thing. Use evidence from the story to support your claims.
- As I was reading the Plays Scuba Lessons and Sure Thing, I noticed they were very different in the way they were set up. The play Sure Thing deals with only 2 people, but the play Scuba Lessons deals with 4. Another difference would be they way each person met each other. In Sure Thing, Bill and Betty just happen to meet each other randomly at the coffee house. In Scuba Lessons, Martin, Dan, Kelly, and Rayne were purposely set up on blind dates. But I also noticed a lot of similarities as well. Both plays took place in a coffee house where the couples would be meeting. Although Martin was maybe older about mid 30s, all the characters, Kelly, Dan, Rayne, Betty, and Bill were all in their mid 20s. In the play Sure Thing, Betty and Bill met each other randomly while Betty was waiting for someone. But there was a bell that kept ringing that made their conversation change to force each character to keep asking the same question over and over again until they were finally able to come up with the same answers. Eventually towards the end of the play, they find out that they have a lot in common and actually confess their love to each other. In the play Scuba Lessons, the four characters Kelly, Dan, Martin, and Rayne were all set up on a blind date. Dan and Rayne were set up together and Kelly and Martin were set up together as well. But to every one’s surprise, Kelly and Dan were the two who ended up falling in love with each other. So in both instances, each couple both realized their feelings towards one another. At the end of each play the couples confess their love for one another. There were many awkward conversations throughout both and the women at one point or another got very annoyed with the men. Because these plays were so different in the way they went about, at the end both served a purpose for finding true love no matter how it came to them.
