1718

1. In terms of casting for Stella Kowalski, the actress would have to be young and gentle looking. She would also most likely be of average beauty. In the play Stella is described as, “…a gentle young woman, about twenty-five, and of a background obviously quite different from her husband” (1778). This meaning that her husband is rough looking while Stella is delicate and small. Another example of Stella being slightly delicate is how Blanche refers to her. Blanche calls her a “precious lamb” (1781). Even though the name is endearing, it is a term most commonly used when speaking to small children or to babies as a lamb is very small and very delicate. The actress would also have to have a “radiant smile” (1784). So the actress would need to be young, gentle looking and is delicate in figure and in the way she presents her lines to the audience. 2. Stella’s reactions to Stanley: • When Stanley yells up to Stella, she responds “Mildly” (1778) • When Stanley throws the package up to Stella, she “cries out it protest but manages to catch it: then she laughs breathlessly” (1778) • Stella is always eager to be with Stanley like asking to go watch him bowl (1778) • Stella is protective of Stanley when Blanche asks, “Will it be decent?” (1783) and Stella responds, “Stanley is Polish, you know.” (1783) • “She jumps up and kisses him” (1788). • Stella tries to be commanding; “You come out with me while Blanche is getting dressed” (1790). • Stella is the submissive partner, “Stanley…

that tolerates every religion; this was how many immigrants pictured America. Who wouldn’t want to immigrate to such a perfect utopia? The only problem was, the United States wasn’t as perfect as the rumors implied. For the Scots-Irish and the Mexicans, this was found out the hard way. The Scots-Irish population started off relatively small in America. From 1718-1720 only 2,600 Scots-Irish had immigrated to America, but within the next fifty years nearly 250,000 more followed suit. For the…

1.Since the reading did not clearly state when Penn was alive I looked it up and he lived from 1644-1718. So, he was not alive in 1776, although on the first page it was stated that the government would be modeled by the way William Penn ran it. The kind of leader he was must have influenced others after his death. During the time of the revolution no one knew of Penn and never gave him a chance to show off his leadership skills. The American radicals wanted more order to run their land and did…
