Reflection - All My Sons

Reflection:
1.       Reading a play is different because it's a bunch of dialogs composed together. I didn't enjoyed reading the play because the dialogs in it are very confusing, each time other character speaks and I always have to pay attention who said what.  Sometimes, I got confused and I don’t understand the whole dialog.
2.       The character that I found the most interesting is Steve, because he's a character that we know least about, and we never had the chance to hear and know his side in the story and his feelings. I'm interesting in what Steve would say to Joe Keller if he would meet him.

3.       Comparing and Contrasting between the different characters helped me to understand better each character and their different point of view. For example, Chris believed that Larry died and Kate didn’t. Inferring helped me understand better what the characters sometimes mean. For example, when Kate said to Joe "We all got hit by the same lightning" – she meant that they all were affected by the same things (the war, the case). Uncovering Motives helped me understand why the characters acted the way they did. For example, when Joe offered Steve a job when he will be released, he did it because he wanted to compensate Steve for what he did, so that he wouldn’t remind the case again.

Alll my sons post reading

 post reading A different ending all my sons


George came to the Keller’s house trying to prevent Ann from marrying Chris. He did not succeed in fulfilling the purpose he came for. Afterwards George went to see his father and told him that he couldn’t change Ann’s mind. Steve got so mad and angry, he promised himself that he wouldn’t let them take Ann so easily.

10 years have passed, and in that time, Chris and Ann got married, they lived in a house next to Joe’s and Kate’s house. It seemed like everyone forgot all about the past and they accepted Larry’s death after reading his letter, in which he have(gr.-had) wrote(gr.-written) that he was going on a risky mission and that he was hoping to return home and support Joe through the case investigation. Everything was perfect. Joe's business was fine, Ann and Chris were happy and even Kate somehow accepted Larry’s death and started smiling again, but then, Steve was released.

The Kellers expected Steve’s and George’s arrival and they were a little nervous because of it. When they arrived, the Kellers tried to be as nice and friendly as possible but, Steve and George immediately engaged (in) a fierce discussion in which, they demanded Ann to come back home with them. Ann refused and Chris, Joe and Kate supported her. Steve got so mad, that he pulled out a gun from his pocket, aiming towards Chris, threatening Ann that he would kill Chris. George, who was standing next to Steve couldn’t believe what he saw. He shoved his father in the hope of stopping him and then a shot was heard in the house. George got shot by mistake, Steve then took George in his hands while tears stared dropping from his eyes. Steve just cried and shouted: what have I done!?!?!?!?   
   





 It's very sad, but also very imaginative of you. I don't know how you thought of such an ending. Well done!
