Today in class we started off by rereading the introduction we read yesterday (Act 1 Scene 1). We read through this and talked about the literal and figurative meanings behind the described items. We talked about how the house was extremely small for housing two families and that the house was very old, it was very obvious that everything was worn down and was over used and cleaned. We also started to read the actual play. People volunteered for parts, there were only 4 parts this scene. This could all be related to real life through the families problems, they most likely have a low income and are forced to live with another family so they can actually have a house. This may not be very common for most people to relate to but it's something that happens a lot in real life, people don't have enough money to support themselves or their families so they are forced to live with others or even don't have a house/apartment.
