well im not positive if were supposed to blog since we didnt have school.but better safe than sorry.
so i finally finished street car.that only took me forever.this last scene has like the only differences i see between the movie and the play.they're slight but they're there.
when blanche starts to hear the music,i know the meaning of the polka cause it was playing when her husband died,but this part has jungle noises as well.what do those mean?because i thinkbut im not positive that they were in a different part of the play and movie.so im just wondering if those have any mega significance.
and i don't remember stanley coming to confort stella after blanch leaves in the movie.even though it wasn't really "confort" it was more of trying to seduse her,but in the movie he did nothing.which made me think he didnt care at all,and i guess even this REALLY poor attempt at confort made him seem like a cared a little bit.but i guess in general stanley doesn't really caree for stella.thats really what i think about him!he's just a hot head and he just blows everyhting off of him that means anything.but little comments piss him off like crazy.it just frustrating to see him not care.

tuesday's post
this part just gives me the worst chills and creeps and just weirdness.stanley is that mix between scary,weird,and alluring.it doesn't help that he's drunk of his butits how he knows that blanche is afraid and how she wants to leave,and he's just going to toy with her and let her leave,but hold her back.i don't think though that he had the intention of raping her until it happened.i mean marlon brando pulled that off magically,but tennessee williams created that spark thinking with stanley through words.
blanche is the complete opposite.she's got her grand plan.she knows her fantasy word and her reality where the lies come out.she has the predictability but a slight bit of unsure.she has an idea of whats going to happen,but then she desides on the spot.she thought the worst though far before stanley knew anythign was going to happen.i dont think stanley thought anything of it at first,but blanche's bad thinking pushed him to that breaking point and he decided.
what was blanche trying to do by calling her admirer and western union?what would that do for her?because she was afraid,but wouldn't you call the police or something? not your fake admirer from dallas.or western union.if i was that afraid i would be calling 911!
maybe its her constant want fot the knight in shining armor fantasy,the police dont do that.but an admirer arriving with assistance is that knight,even when her life is in danger she looks for her man.
pg-100
so today was the last day of auditions.only slightly less scary.i could speek better today.javi's play just confuses me.i have no idea what its really about.i have an extremely vague idea.but auditions made that harder to understand a bit.but i'm really excited for freshman showcase now.it feels so "real" now.like were going to be on stage performing.

blanche i feel like hasthis "man-memory".when someone hurts her she goes back to the day she lost her husband,when she hurt someone.its like this reflex of pain any pain around her she just goes back into her memory.
mitch has a backbone here!he finally stops being whipped basically by blanche and i say good for him!blanche used him for her own attention addiction.and when the attention left she lost her head.when he comes back to her she thinks he's going to be the same spineless guy she knows and "loves".i don't think blanche's feelings for mitch are very true.i think after loosing her husband and her prostitution days she's lost that ability for making real loving connections.if its not for attention and positive attention at that,she doesn't want anything to do with them.
could blanche's insecurity about her apperance be her desire to go back to when she was happy?and to hold on to the times when she had no cares,had her love and no family problems.she wants to stay in that young and fun time period for her.her age brings her away from that.besides just being pretty and wanting attention she's like anyone else.age is what holds you on to your happy days.and blanche has a great reason to want to hold on to her happy days.before death and responsibility and all her pain.thats what old means to her.so young is her salvation.

auditions today.besides me not being able to say anything correctly,and stumbling over all the wordsand totally not making sense at times.i think it went ok.it was fun auditioning.and i'm debating on writing a play.i've always wanted to write something.so i'm just going to see where it goes and then decide to continue or not.

scene 8!
happy birthday to blanche.
when i read this scene all i could picture was marlon brando in all his amazing-ness.eating and acting,breaking the plates,yelling and getting mad.its just crazy.
this is one scene though when you can see the love between stella and stanley.stanley was just an asshole to blanche and gave her the ticket home,and he just really tries to calm stella down and tell her how things will be better again.how they'll have their life back again.
blanche has her additude of "i can get any guy i want" back when mitch stands her up.i really just want to tell her maybe you can't get every guy!because your not perfect at all.your actually kinda crazy.so way to go.
stanley has such the manly man additude here.he doesn't want anyone to tell him what to do,how to act,or poking fun at him.he has it naturally through out the play but it just becomes so forward in this scene.maybe because the two girls finally got the nerve to say something or he just gets mad here,who knows?but its just so scary.because he doesn't do it respectfully,he does it in a scary, "fear me!" way.i would be terrified of him.
and stella has her baby.yay!

so we had our misner with lou today.and i tried repetition for the second time.i was so afraid though.regradless if misner has no right or worng way,i always feel wrong.whether you say its ok however you do it i still feel like there is a better way.i feel like i'm falling behind or something from the other freshman and its scary.i just feel so wrong when i tried today.and i wasn't letting much effect me,which isn't good.and i know i wasn't.its just so-not complicated and not hard but its complicated and hard.so i just dont know.i'm happy i attempted though.one day i'll get there.

scene 7
stanley told stella all of blanche's secrets while blanche just takes her bath and is happy and singing.
i know stella comes from the same backround as blanche but i feel like she's un educated.like she's on the same level as stanley rather than her sister.but i feel so bad for stella because she always has to care for blanche.she's pregnant!and she's the little sister.blanche should just learn to be her own person by now.she has to realise that she's lost her job,her old home,she has no one to support her,and she's going to have to leave stella and stanley at some point,so why isn't she adjusting while she can?why continue hanging on to people when they wont be there very soon?
it really annoys me that stanley told mitch about blanche's past,like if he hates her that much why ruin her chances at leaving him alone and possibly getting married to mitch or at least dating or something!him letting her secrets out just makes everything worse.or if he REALLY hated her why not let her secrets come out when she's with mitch?i guess he was protecting mitch but i mean if hurting blanche was his main goal there are far better ways of going about that.
i also love how blanche is singing about believing,when her secrets are being told behind her back.its such an perfect subject for the scene.stella doesn't believe stanley and blanche still believes all of her lies are being accepted as the truth.the irony is just great.its like such a contrast,blanche being happy and cheerful and stella and stanley having this really serious conversation on trust and blanche's history.i think thats like such a great moment.
