Gamma Rays

My favorite play we have read this semester has been "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon-Marigolds. This play is very good, it consisted of a dysfunctional family, which was a single mother named Beatrice and and her two daughters Tillie and Ruth. Beatrice isn't the ideal mother in this play. Ruth is considered as a brash yet confused child. As the play goes on, Beatrice tries to knock down any great opportunities that Tillie may receive, due to her own lack of success in her own life. Ruth is standing up to her mother, and when she finally does, she has a nervous breakdown and at the end of the play she kills Tillie's rabbit with chloroform.
