Brighton Beach Memoirs: Day 4

Please continue analyzing and reading Brighton Beach Memoirs. Take notes in your journal! Complete the analysis handout (to be turned in at the conclusion of the play). We will stop occasionally and continue brainstorming ideas for an upcoming assignment. Notes/exercises can go in your journal as well.

HOMEWORK: Create a character sketch for a "coming of age" play. Your character sketch should include:

  • The character's name
  • A description of your character (both physical and non-physical traits that make this character unique)
  • An explanation about what motivates this character
  • Identify a weakness or flaw that this character has that causes a problem for him/her
  • What conflicts with authority figures (parents, teachers, older siblings or relatives, society, etc.) must this character confront? Consider the types of conflict to help you identify a couple
  • You may include a rough drawing or illustration of your character (counts as extra credit for this assignment)
