As I was reading act 1 of Man-In-The-Moon-Marigolds, I thought about how it related to me. I came up with that there are times when I stand out from everyone, and that's not a bad thing. Being different may lead to better things, like it did with Tillie. I'm sure that I have many moments where I have felt like I was in Tillie's shoes, but my mom was much more supportive for me than Beatrice, Tillie's mom, was. I can't think of anyone who would be like Ruth, but there is probably someone who hated me until I did something great, which the outcome would then be that they loved me and thought that I was their best friend. I could go on and on about life experiences that can relate to this first act, but I prefer not to go into all of that :)
I agree! Standing out is a very good thing.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Tillie. But I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteSame here!
DeleteFriends who love you because you've done something great aren't the best of friends, in my opinion. Never let them mooch off of your fabulousness! Nice connections :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with all four of you. Standing out IS good, I feel bad for "Tillie" (don't forget, she's a fake character), and "friends" who want to be around you since you've done something worth-wile aren't real friends.
