Brief Summary of Book: The Last Dragon by Silvana De Mari ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments The play how i learned to drive![]() ![]() Vogel writes simple dialogues which sound naturally, but the unique structure of her play is used to provide the additional meaning to some actions and words. Still, the metaphor of driving becomes clear from the first minutes, and it is the first step to come to conclusions. ![]() It is important to concentrate on the playwright’s style and tone because the focus on metaphors and naturalism at the same time can provoke misunderstanding. ![]() In order to interpret the ending of Vogel’s play and draw conclusions about the whole work, it is necessary to concentrate on feelings affected by the play and on the revealed emotions. Thus, the ending of Vogel’s play can be interpreted from many perspectives, including the context of choosing driving as a substitutional factor, as a rescue from perverting relationships, and as a choice of control in the personal life. In this context, the idea of driving also receives the features of an amoral activity which has the unhidden sexual meaning. Still, to understand the meaning of this final scene, it is necessary to refer to the whole play and to the character’s relations with the man who learned Li’l Bit to drive. ![]() ![]() ![]() "But when I looked down," Genghis continued, "I saw that I hadn't kicked a hole in a baby.

A product of mid-20th-century culture, Schaefer’s mother lived during a time when adult female relationships with anyone beyond children and husbands were considered “nice, but not essential.” On TV and in film, bonds between women-e.g., those between the main characters of the 1980s blockbuster show Dynasty-were characterized as catty and vindictive, with women ruthlessly fighting each other over men. ![]() Drawing from popular culture, interviews with a wide range of successful female professionals and her own life, the author suggests that current trends stem in part from generational changes. Schaefer argues that more women than ever are actively working to reclaim their relationships with each other from negative stereotyping. Society traditionally views female friendships as competitive and transitory. ![]() ![]() A journalist examines the nature and impact of the friendships women form with each other. ![]() |
