Piggy Act 3


I find this drama, somewhat as common people would say “snooze Vill!” for the very fact when there is a comical relief part in the play I hate it and think it’s awful comedy. Like when Higgins is in his mother's kitchen, then people he wasn’t expecting to be there start to pile in through the front door one after another. Which I took as a comical part of the third act, but I found it too faults. What is the chance that these people suddenly come in when he has finally planed to show Eliza to his mother and surprisingly they were the same people from the other day in the rain, (Not that big of a shocker!! Saw it coming) I really don’t enjoy this play, I would like to keep reading tho, just to see what else I can hate about this play and then write my paper on Drama, about why I hate this play so much and pin point places in it that I hate the most! I’m all about being impendent and at this time in the 1960’s women act, talk and be perfect because they are expected to, (obviously that wouldn’t go very far with me.) One of the Characters Clara, she comes off to you as a snob, spoiled brat who always gets her way. You saw that in Act one where she made Freddy go looking for a cab several miles down the street in the pouring rain. But her mother tries to defend her by saying she’s just mean little brat because she doesn’t have any money and can’t go to parties. (Nether do I but I’m still nice to everyone!!) I like this play so much because I hate it so much, while reading it I want to dig my eyes out with a rustie spoon.

Thanks for listening Danielle Mobley,

                            And I’m out.  :P

Piggie pig Act Uno

       So we had an intresting little talk about piggie pig in class today, no Mrs. Arnold but an older man by the name of Mr. Evanson, I think he was enjoyable.
       So we join the world of the little slice of the world by the title of London, written in 1916ish era but the settin is more of the early early 1900's. We join a man by the name of Note taker nothing more nothing less. We are told by both his name and his actions he is simply taking notes of the people's converstions. One woman by the simple name of Flower Girl has taken quite the offense to his note taking. Accusing the NoteTaker of being a lil copper, could this be a poorer part of town? The people not taking a liking to the PO-PO in there hood? This one thinks so. But after a little rant from both Flower and Notes(sounds like a cheesy sitcom) Notes releases the real reasoning behind is taking. He is a Master of the wonderful study of dialect studying. Mr. Notes who is actually Mistah Higgins, feels bad for offending poor Flower, who turns into Eliza, he gives her some money for her troubles, half-crown, some florins, and a half-sovereign, which is quite a bit of money, so little Eliza rides in a Taxi for the first time and so end Act numero Uno

Pyg: Act 2

Annoying, inarticulate, mostly stupid Eliza shows up at Higgins' place, hoping to buy lessons on how to speak properly. It is her dream to work in a flower shop, and she needs a clear accent in order to do so. Higgins, intrigued, makes a bet with fellow dialectologist Colonel  Pickering that he can have Eliza speaking like a lady within six months. After much confused altercation between Higgins, Pickering, Eliza, and Mrs. Pearce (Higgins' housekeeper), it is decided that Eliza will take lessons from Higgins and live in his household for the six months, learning to be a lady. Pickering will fund the experiment and also reside with Higgins during that time. As Eliza is being cleaned by Mrs. Pearce, Eliza's father shows up on the pretext of defending his daughter's honor. However, all he really wants is a little spending money to go get drunk on, and bargains his daughter away for the sum of five pounds.
