Privyet, Americans!
That's Russian. Don't worry, it means 'hello.'
Anyways. I read Act I of 'The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds.' And then, since I wasn't looking and was completely wrapped up in the story, read Act II also. But don't worry, I won't spoil anything. It's just really good.
I must say, this play was really enjoyable. I didn't really expect that, but it was, and I was kind of surprised. In only sixty or so pages, Paul Zindel created a deep, powerful play. However, I did have trouble relating to the story. The characters in the story lead very different lives than the people in my life, myself included. However, I can associate with the problems between Tillie and her sister, Ruth. It's clear Ruth loves and cares about Tillie, but she doesn't hesitate to embarrass her or give her problems. My brothers act the same way, giving me crap, but still being kind when they need to be.
Overall, this play was really interesting to read. It's exciting, emotional, and thoughtful. I really wish it was longer than it was! But enough of my talking. Go finish it!
Book- The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins (Why did I put this here? You've all read it already)
Video Game- Tales of Vesperia
Music- Welcome Home- Coheed and Cambria
Classical Music- Anything by Mr. Howard Shore. ANYTHING.
I also found the relationships between characters in the play very interesting also. You're right that Tillie and Ruth have a unique relationship in the sense that Ruth can insult Tillie, yet be sensitive at times to her needs!
