The Glass Menagerie

The first scene started inside with the wing-field apartment, around a lower middle-class in St.
Louis. the time is in the late 1930s, About the time when american workers were struggling from the effects of the great depression. Tom the narrator/ and one of the main character's in the play, describes his life and the others within the play. His father abandoned the family years ago, and they have not heard from him since. but they keep a photo of him in their living room. In the play Amanda is Tom mother, and Laura is his sister. later on into the scene Toms mother Amanda kept talking about keeping herself fresh for a gentlemen callers in her home in Blue Mountain, Mississippi. Laura mother is afraid that she will end up an old maid.

The start of scene two begins Laura polishing her collection, when she heard her mother coming she immediately puts it away and acted like she was studying. her ponders on the idea about what will become of there family because, come to find out her daughter career is basically ruined because she had been skipping school and acting as though she was sick. there's this kid in the play name Jim, Jim is the kid that Laura had a crushed on when she was in high school. Tim made fun of her and called her Blue Roses.

One thing I will say is that there mother is very big on the idea of marriage, she feels as though her daughter will find a soul mate, even at a young age to marry. reason why I say this is because she is always telling her daughter to be classy, and act like the way a young lady should. in aspect of this i chose this picture because it shows her behaving like a young women should.
