Spoonful

“What’s in a name?” (Shakespeare 2.2.42) Juliet asks in her famous line, a declaration of her devotion to Romeo which paradoxically emphasizes the importance of names in the Romeo and Juliet in general. Written four centuries later, Water By The Spoonful echoes this sentiment by allowing characters to name themselves online and, therefore, control and dictate their identities. Both Shakespeare and Hudes select names pregnant with meaning as a tool for characterization; however, while Shakespeare picks names the illuminate aspects of his characters’ personalities, the names Hudes’ uses reveal characters greatest inner struggles. The names Shakespeare gives his characters in Romeo and Juliet help his audience to understand not only the character’s…

inappropriately said. I like that she defended Fountainhead from Orangutan and Chutes&Ladders. However, I think it took a little too long for her to step in since he quickly logged off.

That isn’t to say that the interactions area always bad or good, just very unpersonal. People have become detached from other…

Throughout Water by The Spoonful, characters struggle for human connection by performing throughout their lives to portray a different person than they really are. Odessa, Fountainhead,…

I really enjoyed Water By the Spoonful. It was easy to become lost in the show and I ended up becoming very attached to the characters. Although there were some scenes where you could tell the actors spoke a line ahead, overall they did a great job. The performance by the actress playing Haikumom/Odessa brought tears to my eyes. Additionally, the production did a really good job of working with the few set pieces they had. The use of lighting for the chats was cool and made it easy to follow…

If given the choice, would you rather die on the battlefield quickly, or waste away in a prison camp for the rest of your life? The 215,000 soldiers that were captured by the Union did not get the choice. Prison camps, at the time, were considered one of the most disturbing, traumatic places on earth. Of what prisoners have told us, Union prison camps are even worse. Andersonville may not be perfect, but Camp Elmira in New York -nicknamed hellmira- is so much worse. Elmira was built by the…

I have only one love in my life, and that is peanut butter. Nothing could make me not want that delicious snack. I would have peanut butter everything. Peanut butter cookies, sandwiches, candy bars, you name it and I ate it. My mother would support my addiction by giving me one spoonful every day unless I was sneaky and took more without her knowing. Even my dogs had their own jar that my parents would give them as a treat and watch them smack their little dog tongues against the roof of their…
