My external source I found was "Why Two Income Families Are Happier Than Single Income Families", which explains how stress is produced by a family with a single income. Clarify the amount of unhappiness and stress that is created in a single-income family, rather than in a two-income family. I chose this article because of the stress that is shown within the show as Tom struggles to keep up with the bills.1. What were the main plot events of “The Glass Menagerie”? The main events of the play all develop around Tom Wingfield's memories. The character, who takes care of his mother and sister, due to his father leaving them at a young age. The next important event is when Jim, who was a potential suitor for Amanda, arrives and has dinner with the family. Later during dinner, Amanda discovers that her suitor Jim has a girlfriend.2. What are the three different words you come across during this reading? The first word I came across while reading was matriculate, which means to be enrolled in a college or university. Even the word Guernica, which is not a word, is a painting by Pablo Picasso. Finally, the word blancmange which indicates a dish, often flavored with almonds.3. How does Amanda's quote "You smoke too much" give you insight into her personality? This sentence tells me that she cares a lot about her brother and his habits. Also, this line says that she is worried about her smoking habit and what it might do.4. How the quote “But I get up. I go! For six to five dollars a month I give up everything I dream of doing and being!" resemble irony? This is when Amanda begins to question Tom's routine, drinking, staying out late and going to the movies. He yes defends and says that he is the one who... middle of paper... her husband. Then Jim tells her that he is already engaged. After breaking her heart, Laura returns shy to the world. All these events lead to the quarrel between Amanda and Tom for Laura and her already engaged lover. Tom shouts that he didn't know about the engagement and then leaves. The dramatic elements that I talked about that really came through in this play were the climax, mood and tension. These elements together created this comedy and created the script, without them there would have been no comedy. Overall, this comedy is about family and following in the footsteps of others, who did not want to act like his father, is become more evil than him By the end of the play the audience begins to realize that he is haunted by his actions towards Laura. Likewise, you must understand that there is no final ending, the ending is Tom's regret.
