Jessica's blog post 3


2. Discuss the symbols in the plays Scuba Lessons and Sure Thing and explain what each of these symbols mean. Use evidence from the plays to support your claims.



The symbolism used in Sure thing was the bell and then function of the bell is always to show some change in the dialogue which the action of the conversation goes in a different direction. An example from the poem is when Bill tries to start a conversation based on the book Betty is reading. Betty is reading The Sound and the Fury, one Bill thinks Hemingway wrote it however it was written by Faulkner and the bell was rung because Betty is not responsive to Bill.


The symbolism in Scuba lessons was Kelly’s dream and that the she believes on her blind date she is going to meet the man of her dreams. Kelly states But even though I’ve never seen him, I know what he’ll be like. He’ll be someone who looks in my eyes and knows that’s where he belongs. That’s why I’m so excited about tonight The funny thing is that she has seen him before its Dan and the end of the play he states your eyes feel like home. Kelly then stares into his eyes and knows he is the one.
