Michael McGinn 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.

It was interesting delving into the emotional composition of men and women while dating. Some act neurotic, some shy, but between both stories one can feel the same type of unnerving tension that can sometimes emerge between couples. To name a few differences, however, Scuba Lessons involved more characters into the dating scene. This story had blind dating in effect that truly captured the type of emotional shakiness, and nervous feelings of dating. Sure thing was actually just two people dating rather than Scuba Lessons' four, but both seemed to depict the dating scene accurately. There's the crazy ones, standoffish ones, etc. that adds credibility to the character development. The complexity of the characters made the stories believable and intriguing.

  2. I agree with Cedric, the pic is cute. The word count is a bit low though. You could have added more about how the two plays were similar to increase the word count. Good job on looking between the lines and seeing the different emotions during dating.
