He starts acting delusional and tricks Ethyl into singing when Belize walks in. As he takes his last breath, Roy says that he wants to "be an octopus"(247). Once he says that, he dies.

==Major Themes==
''Angels in America'' is in many ways a play about conversion.The experience of HIV illness is often conceived as involving a conversion of the self, and Prior's discovery that he has AIDS is depicted in part as making him a new person: I'm a lessionnaire". The Angel's visitation to Prior takes the form of a mission of conversion:given a new identity, Prior is like Joseph Smith, to become Prophet of a new dispensation. Indeed, in the course of the play all its characters undergo startling shifts in identity. Hannah is not only physically transplanted to New York but becomes ''"noticeably different--she looks like a New Yorker''. Roy , who clings tenaciously to his professional status a a lawyer,is disbarred just before his death. Harper moves through a period of dysfunction to strike out on her own, choosing "the real San Francisco, on earth," with its "unspeakable beauty" (Kruger 4).

Kushner uses split scenes to make more explicit the contrapuntal relationship between these seemingly disconnected narrative worlds. Roy's meeting with Joe, to discuss the junior attorney's future as a "Roy-Boy" in Washington, occurs alongside the scene in which Louis is sodomized in the Central Park Rambles by a leather clad mama's boy.Louis's mini-symposium at the coffee shop is simultaneous with Prior's medical checkup at an outpatient clinic. Dreams,ghosts, and a flock of dithering, hermaphroditic angels are also used to break through the play's realistic structure, to conjoin seemingly disparate characters, and to reveal the poetic resonances and interconnectedness of everyday life (McNulty 4).

==Study Questions==
#Many of the gay characters struggle with the question of how their sexuality should be, and several come out in different ways during the course of the play. Discuss the meaning of the ''closet'' — are closeted characters different from uncloseted ones? What implications does coming out have for self and community?
#"It's law not justice," Joe tells Louis during their final breakup. Discuss the themes of law and justice as they appear in the play. Is Joe correct that the two are separate entities? Or does the play encourage a more visionary potential of the law?
#Belize stands out as exceptionally compassionate and good, yet at times seems two-dimensional. Which view is correct? Is Belize a virtuous stereotype or a complex moral authority?
#What does the subtitle "A Gay Fantasia on National Themes" suggest? What national themes are evident in the plays? What is the relationship between "gay" and "national"?
#[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perestroika <i>Perestroika</i>] was the term for Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of political and economic reform in the Soviet Union. In what ways does the play represent the possibility of ''perestroika'' in America? Is this an appropriate title for part two?
#Choosing at least two examples ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Rosenberg The Rosenberg Trial], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1906_earthquake The San Francisco Earthquake], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl Chernobyl], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan_administration The Reagan Administration]), analyze the role of history in the plays. Does Kushner more or less depict events as they happened? If not, what dramatic and thematic purposes does he serve by shading the facts?
#As a "fantasia," ''Angels in America'' is a major departure from prevailing theatrical realism, with detours into the religious and the supernatural — angels, ghosts, apparitions, and visions appear over and over. What effect do these fantastical elements have on the play as a whole? Go beyond a simple analysis of plot to consider the implications for characters, messages, and themes.
#Is there any connection between [[the Angel]], and [[Mr. Lies]].

Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 9

2006-03-23T08:22:55Z

Smccray: /* Works Cited */

== Summary==
The narrator awaits the morning mail on September 30th, expecting to receive birthday cards from his family. While waiting, Holly shows up and invites him to go horseback riding in Central Park and give farewell to her favorite horse, Mabel Minerva. The narrator,then learns that Holly intends to move to Brazil with Jose. While riding through the park, a group of boys jump from behind the bushes and spook their horses. Thus, the narrator's horse bolts out of control and he falls off when the horse comes to a halt.

The narrator soaks in his tub after the horse accident while Holly waits to rub liniment on him. After a brief period, Madame Spanella and two detectives burst into his apartment to arrest Holly for her connection with Sally Tomato's drug ring. Holly insults the lady detective by calling her a bull-dyke and the detective slaps her. That evening, Holly and Oliver O'Shaughnessy, Sally Tomato's attorney,get arrested and it make the front page of the newspaper.

== Notes ==
* '''Ambush'''(87)- An act or instance of lying concealed so as to attack by surprise.

* '''Bull-dyke''' (93)- A term for a lesbian that usually exhibits masculine traits.

* '''Fedora''' (90)- A hat that is creased lengthwise down the crown and pinched in the front on both sides. It is often worn by people associated with the mafia.

* '''Heir''' (85)- A person who inherits the estate of a deceased person. Property left to a person in a will is not an heir but a legatee.

* '''Mabel Minerva'''(85)- A horse that Holly had to say good-bye to.

*'''Pincer'''(88)- A maneuver in which an enemy force is attacked from two flanks and the front.

* '''Stable'''(87)- A building for the lodging and feeding of animals, especially horses or cattle.

* '''Vestibule''' (85)- An entrance hall or passage between the entrance and the interior of a building.

== Commentary==
The section begins with the narrator's birthday and he's looking for some money or a card from his family. Other than that, it's just another ordinary day for him. Holly appears and asks him to go horseback riding with her. The narrator is not skilled at riding horses but agrees to it. He enjoys spending time with Holly and is very shocked when she tells him that she's going to Brazil. The narrator tells her that she "can expect a present from me" (86). Holly is a free spirited woman who doesn't like to stay in one place to long. Also, as a result of the narrator's inexperience with horses, it causes him to be fall off the horse once it comes to a halt.

== Summary==
The narrator awaits the morning mail on September 30th, expecting to receive birthday cards from his family. While waiting, Holly shows up and invites him to go horseback riding in Central Park and give farewell to her favorite horse, Mabel Minerva. The narrator,then learns that Holly intends to move to Brazil with Jose. While riding through the park, a group of boys jump from behind the bushes and spook their horses. Thus, the narrator's horse bolts out of control and he falls off when the horse comes to a halt.

The narrator soaks in his tub after the horse accident while Holly waits to rub liniment on him. After a brief period, Madame Spanella and two detectives burst into his apartment to arrest Holly for her connection with Sally Tomato's drug ring. Holly insults the lady detective by calling her a bull-dyke and the detective slaps her. That evening, Holly and Oliver O'Shaughnessy, Sally Tomato's attorney,get arrested and it make the front page of the newspaper.

== Commentary==
The section begins with the narrator's birthday and he's looking for some money or a card from his family. Other than that, it's just another ordinary day for him. Holly appears and asks him to go horseback riding with her. The narrator is not skilled at riding horses but agrees to it. He enjoys spending time with Holly and is very shocked when she tells him that she's going to Brazil. The narrator tells her that she "can expect a present from me" (86). Holly is a free spirited woman who doesn't like to stay in one place to long. Also, as a result of the narrator's inexperience with horses, it causes him to be fall off the horse once it comes to a halt.

Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 4

Smccray: /* Study Questions */

==Summary==

On a Monday in October 1943, the narrator and Holly Golightly start off their day by drinking Manhattan’s and champagne cocktails at Joe Bell’s bar. Later, they walk down to Fifth Avenue to watch a military parade passing by. The narrator and Holly eat lunch in Central Park, and walk around the park spending a lot of time at an old boathouse site on the lake. The narrator and Holly avoid the zoo because Holly dislikes seeing anything in a cage.

The narrator tells Holly stories of his childhood and how difficult it was. Holly talks about her childhood, telling stories of her happy childhood, at which point the narrator asks if her stories are true: did she really run away at fourteen? Holly responds by rubbing her nose and stating that the stories has been made up, only because she did not want to seem like she was competing with the narrator over who had a worse childhood. The narrator and Holly stop discussing their childhood, and Holly wants to go looking for peanut butter for her brother Fred. The narrator and Holly spend the rest of the afternoon going through a multitude of stores searching for peanut butter, which due to the war is hard to find.

As the narrator and Holly pass a Woolworth’s, Holly pulls the narrator into the store and talks him into stealing Halloween masks. The two of them put on masks while the sales lady is occupied, and walk out; they run a few blocks away, not because they are being chased, but from the exhilaration of stealing. Holly tells the narrator how she had to steal in the past just to get by, and how she likes to steal things once in a while just to stay in practice.

==Notes==

*'''Delicatessen''' (55) — a type of food store. A North American delicatessen is often referred to, informally or affectionately, as a deli.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicatessen). A delicatessen on Third Avenue is where the narrator and Holly Golightly buy the last of six jars of peanut butter.
*'''Fifth Avenue''' (53) — a major thoroughfare in the center of the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx in New York City, USA; a symbol of wealthy New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Avenue). The narrator and Holly Golightly wander to Fifth Avenue where a parade is going on.
*'''Manhattans''' (53) — a cocktail consisting of vermouth, whiskey, and sometimes a dash of bitters. (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/manhattan). The narrator and Holly enjoy Manhattans one day at Joe Bell's bar.
*'''Peanut butter''' (54) — a food product usually consisting of roasted and ground peanuts, usually salted and sometimes sweetened. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter). Holly decides to send her brother Fred six jars of peanut butter that he loved.
*'''Woolworth's''' (55) — an extensive chain of five-and-ten-cent stores throughout the U.S. (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/woolworth). As the narrator and Holly pass a Woolworth's store, she asks the narrator to steal something with her. They leave the store wearing stolen Halloween masks.

Smccray:

the author's implicit attitude toward the reader or the people, places, and events in a work as revealed by the elements of the author's style. The tone may be characterized as serious or ironic, sad or happy, private or public, angry or affectionate, bitter or nostalgic, or any other feelings that humans experience.

Example: John Steinbeck's short novel "Cannery Row" is nonjudgemental. He never expresses disapproval of the antics of Mack and his band. In fact, he treats them with unflagging kindness.
