Essay Outline

          1. What is The Glass Menagerie about
              What the scene we chose
              How is the performance
          2. After reading it, I found out the relationship between Amanda and Tom is an interesting and important topic of this book.  For the audience perspective, the relationship between Amanda and Tom was not bad at first.  Tom is enduring his mother, and Amanda also notices his impatience to her, but she does not know the reason.  Their relationship has forcefully remained between Amanda and Tom's silence until the end of the book, Tom leaving the house.  [add details]  +  Compare and contrast the mood of the two.
          3.  I believe Amanda in this relationship is not as dumb as she shows us.  Amanda feels Tom's disagreement and unsatisfaction, but she still keeps doing the annoying things.  The reasons behind it are (1) she is sure she is doing good for Tom.  (2)  She cannot handle this problem so she just pretends she does not know and escape from it.  (3)  She is lost in the past too much to handle the problem. 
          4. Performance-- The emotional explosion is easier to portrait, but how to portrait Amanda's annoying look, careless behavior and a stagnant and sentimental heart.  
          5. The difficulties of acting Amanda.
          6. The difficulty 2 of acting Amanda
          7.  Staging (light, stage space )
          8.  Acting review:  the weaknesses and strengths
          9.  Reconclude the theme of the scene and the personality of Amanda.
