My thoughts on
Trifles by Susan Glaspell
This is a story about Jon Wrights death. He was killed in his sleep by being strangled to death by a rope around his neck. At first it all seems to lead to that the wife did it. She did not show any emotion, that she was sad or scared or well really anything. She just played around with her apron, staring off into space and rocking back and forth in her little rocking chair. And then, while talking with everyone they figured out that she had killed him, Mrs. Hale put the box with the dead bird into her coat pocket. She did not tell the men about the dead bird she had just uncovered. They had discovered how Mrs. Wright killed her husband. She "knots it" instead of "quilts it". They did not tell the men about the bird in the box because it was an act of loyalty for girls to stick up for girls. Mrs. Wright before she got married was Minnie Foster. She was a very cheerful person and full of colors in everything she did. She loved to sing. Then when she got married to Mr. Wright her life became dark and lonely therefore, it drove her insane and she killed Mr. Wright.
Naked Lunch by Michael Hollinger
Lucy and Vernon use to be lovers and they broke up. Vernon had Lucy over for dinner. He made her steak and corn. He got her flowers and pretty napkins. He also bought some wine. She would not eat the steak and only ate the corn. Vernon noticed that she was not eating her steak and asked her why she wasn't eating her steak. Lucy replied by saying she has decided to become a vegetarian and Vernon had no clue what she was talking about because she had always been eating meat while they were together. She told him that she had always been thinking about it for a while. He told her that she had never brought it up to him. And he wanted to know why she had never told him that she was thinking about becoming a vegetarian. They argued back and forth for a while before Lucy decided to give in to Vernon and eat her steak. He even cut it off for her. Then, they went on with their dinner. Vernon did this all to make up with Lucy and get her back, to make her the happiest girl in the world to be with him. During this story you could feel the tension between one another. I do not think the conflict between them ever got solved. I think they just ignored the issue and that is not good for their relationship. Communication is the key to good start and finish. I think that if Lucy would have explained herself and why she felt the way she felt about meat in the first place, when she started thinking about it. They may not have ever broken up in the first place or things would have gone more smoothly during the dinner.
