Allison and Angela's Dialogue is so well written it makes it very easy to hear the voice of the two Characters. There's a Flow in the dialogue in all of the conversations that makes them all feel so real which helps it capture almost a mood in each of the conversations with out much narrative explanation unless it was something the what i would call out of the ordinary. One thing about the play so far is some of the characters come off extra odd like when Christopher wants Angela To lay in bed with him and he says "Could we like.. Just lie on the bed and have you hug me?" and Angela just says "i guess so" and lays in bed with him and considering how odd Christopher has already came off and the main issue so far seems to be abuse on woman you think Angela would be a little more on guard and staying SAFE!
"Big Me" by Dan Chaon was a story i really enjoyed reading but i felt like i didnt fully understand it and needed to read it a second time to see if there was anything I had missed the first time because the first time I read "Big Me" the end of it left me with a lot of questions about Andy's life growing up, and how his imagination had taken a far bigger role then reality did which made him to have these "black outs". I wasn't sure if something more traumatic then what is explained to him is what actually happened and maybe his brain actually created these new more enjoyable memories that had this fun story of him being a detective who goes on these missions to gather as many facts as he can on Louis Mickleson the teacher who moved into his hang out house and will also be his 7th grade teacher who apparently looks like an old version of himself so... I going to have to agree with his wife when she said "If I told you that I had periods when I... lost time... wouldn't you be concerned? Wouldn't you want me to see a doctor?" to him having, 'black outs', at certain points was something to be concerned about, and its likely to be something his brain had intentionally blocked out because its something traumatic, and he mentions his childhood being terrible, and how dysfunctional his family is. I'm going to have to agree with Mrs. O'Day... im concerned for Andy and hope things work out for him
