Drama!

1. the genre for Captured by Feministas was comedy, high comedy. I felt like when the narrator was talking it kind of made me laugh what he was saying from how he ended with "You're really serious? I'll show you. Go ahead, shoot me. But before you do, I've got one thing to ask." and then starts pouring his heart out lol. He was just being macho a minute ago. then at the end how they untie him he just starts talking nonsense making him still look like a macho. that brings about an issue that reflect life of how they think of women's rights. the genre for You Know How To Whistle, Don't You? is tragicomedy. for the simple fact that she has some funny lines in there and she sounded with confidence then all of sudden she started to belittle herself. i think that is a tragic when someone belittle themseleves.

2. His choice of diction kind of confused me, but actually gave me a feel for the play because it took me a minute to catch on and think "oh its just one person in this play and no one else". It made me feel like i was in front of them though. It was very continuous and always had a good ending.

3. I believe the theme of captured by feministas is feminism and women standing up for themselves. The narrator was so macho, the women wanted to tell him about their rights. For example they said "All men started off as women until their Y chromo-some screwed up. You are mutants, return to your feminine good side. Women are able to communicate. Men are bad". the women are saying they should be respected. So when the narrotor pleaded his case and how he would change. as soon as they gave him a chance, he became macho again. I think the theme of you know how to whistle, don't you is freedom. i got this theme from the simple line of "People sipped...Cuba libre here. Cuba libre means free Cuba. Free Cuba, Cuba libre." she wants to be free from cuba. at first she wanted the money and had confidence then she didnt want the money anymore. i guess she just wanted to do something to get her mind off being stuck in Cuba.

4. The protagonist of Captured by Feministas is the women because im sure readers were cheering the women on when the narrator started being disrespectful to the women at the end after he pleaded he would change. he was still macho no matter what. the women were standing up for women's rights. I think the antagonist is the narrator because hes just disrespectful, so disrespectful in his words. jacuzzi, massages? right after he pleaded he would change. im sure the readers disagreed with him. The protagonist in You Know How To Whistle, Don't You? is the girl because readers pity with her because she just wants to be free. and the antagonist COULD be the government. they are kinda the reason that she is belittle herself. if the government was making them feel secure and that they have some kind of freedom then she wouldnt be going through this.

5. Both the plays were amazing! they made me laugh and kinda made me a little sad. the themes in them were amazing because they are two valuable that are occuring in life. so it kinda brought my attention to women's rights and freedom.
