First Glimpse
Over the last few days I have traveled 6000 miles, across the country to Brown University and back. Though this proved a long and tedious journey, it did leave hours on end for some reading. Mainly of our class script Our Country’s Good. I actually really like the idea of this script, and the script too.
Some of the references are out of date, but then they fit the time period of the story. I find the characters very dynamic so far (especially shitty meg), each one has their own personal challenges and hurdles but at the same time they are brough together on this island full of convicts and whores. It makes for a very interesting ordeal.
I got a little bit confused on who was who when the conversations start going fast and they characters get snippy with each other, but i can only assume that this will all get sorted out with a closer look during class. We are doing the first reading in a round robin style, which also makes it difficult to follow who is saying what, but it’s a good way for me to hear the vocabulary out loud.
If i were going to play a part in this play (which i suppose i should do…for my IB credits) I would just assume be Tench. I like that he seems to have a very level-headed, but yet firm view on the whole situation. He is serious but at the same time i enjoy his hint of sarcasm.

Tench. The way you described him…yea, I can see you being him.
How was Brown, btw, good?
