Pre-Draft for Assignment #2 Intersections

I feel like the type of research they playwrights had to do was looking into a lot of social injustice issues of today’s society. Also doing a lot of research in each others lives as well. And seeing which pieces would work and wouldn’t. In the scene where one of the characters was doing through police training that would have been a personal experience or could have been something very relevant in today’s world that they wanted to add to the play to add a effect. Us having to do some research of our own may help improve our understanding of the play. I know some parts confused me and I had to read it about 3 times to get it so I feel like doing more work would help get a better understanding. Some sources I would like to examine would be police training and how it affects the people going through it physiologically. The part of intersections that has grabbed me so far has to be the family that is losing their grandma to stage 4 cancer. It grabbed my attention because they lost their mother and their father isn’t in the picture so its sad to see that 3 young adults that haven’t had the change to just relax have to take on adult roles so early.  Research may change our impressions in a big way for intense with police brutality. When reading the training process you can feel the emotion and physical tole the character is feeling. This can start to challenge our impression of the ending of the play weather or not what he did is justifiable or not. What research means to me is looking into answers and building your knowledge in the material you’re studying. I believe something that should motivate research is interest because without interest it becomes a drag. But that’s why I enjoy the material that we are looking into because it’s relevant to whats going on in today’s world.

  1. Kat,

    I’m so glad you’re enjoying the material! And I’m glad you would go back and read things when they were hard to understand on the first go-round: good for you! 🙂 I like your insights in the ways that health care and police training can intersect (no pun intended), and I wonder what kinds of research into the way health care and police training interact you might be able to do (if you’re interested, of course)… I’m curious and eager to see where you take this!
