This play was very unique. I actually could relate to it, sort of. The people in this play seemed to behave like everyday people that you would meet in real life. There is always an instance where someone doesn’t like so and so’s hairdo or something petty like that. You can see these situations happening throughout this play. People talking about someone behind there back, more than one guy fighting over a girl, or someone not liking another person over something little and meaningless. Which in the end, it is these things that ruin relationships. Most of the time the girl that is being fought over either doesn’t realize it, or doesn’t actually like the guys fighting over her. It seems very complicated, but in reality it is simple. There is no sense in getting worked up over petty things in life, and you shouldn’t allow them to bother you.

I also liked the fact that this play was so relatable. I always find it amusing to see artistic work from the past and immediately am able to transfer it to a modern-day setting.

I like your point at the end. I say don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. I agree that this play addresses that notion pretty well.

I wrote about some of the same stuff. I think this play is very similar to some occurances in our real life everyday. And you are right about ruining relationships. This is the perfect way to do that.

I think this play most people at our age could relate to because where we are in life. I totally felt a connection when I read it too.
