Responding to Dr. Fletcher's post Water by the Spoonful by Quiara Alegria Hudes
This play Water by the Spoonful was an interesting one where there were many realities that interact. This being the story plot that connects two separate story lines that I have found to be about the world and online world. I chose scene eight to focus on for this prompt. In the script we find out a past event through a story that the character named Elliot used to be a Marine addicted to pain meds and overdosed on them while in Iraq. Yazmine (Yaz) had no idea that Elliot had overdosed once before. This conversation happens over a computer where Orangutan has busted Elliot's secret past life. This scene shows the action of Yaz and Elliot's fight after this online world breaks their walls. This cause and effect action in the story plot gives a unifying principle of striping the cables. Just as Elliot unplugs his computer and and throws it across the room, the characters strip their connections.
That's an interesting UP. I never thought of it that way. It seems that most of the characters were "stripping their cables" at some point or another.
