Anna and the Tropics is a melodramatic production. It doesn't end the way you want it to end but it ends realistically. There is really conflict between all the characters in Anna but if I had to choose the biggest one, it would be between Jaun (the lector) and Cheche (Santiago's brother). Jaun could represent traditon and Cheche modernization but that's just a really obvious representation. I think the turning point is when they have the part for the new cigar because at that point you can tell everything is starting to go downhill.The climax is when the lector gets shot by Cheche. Everyone goes into shock and depression and Cheche disappears from that moment on. The resolution is when Palomo picks up the book to continue the tradition and make amends with the other conflict in the story between him and Conchita but there really feels like there isn't a complete resolution and you're left to just think about the ending. Jaun was reading Anna to the workers when Cheche came in drunk and shot him. Jaun dieing represents that traditon is over thrown by modernization, and Cheche disappearing for the rest of the story is a representation of not knowing what will happen in the future. Jaun just anted to carry out tradition, his father and his father's father were lectors. He wanted things to stay the same and where they were. Cheche wanted progress, to move on and move forward which The subject of Anna and the Tropics is progress. It's trying to convey that although we have to have modernization to survive we can still have a balance of tradition and if we dont have eaquality in the two one will die, and it will most likely be tradition. Things are always moving forward and we have to move with them.

Jillian,
ReplyDeleteThis is well done, but remember that these performance responses have a 500 word count. This is about 300. I have to deduct points for this and its tardiness.
