This article was the most interesting one for me throughout the textbook. It must sound strange because slavery issues were so tensed, but I enjoyed reading what was said in the article. The letter Jourdan Anderson wrote implies how his life was going well compared to the one while he was a slave. Although slavery brought many advantages for people especially in the South, I disagree with the slavery from the perspective of ethics. Whatever reasons, it did not seem right to enslave people against their will.
Music plays an important role in A Streetcar named Desire because it appears in almost every scene and expresses the atmosphere in a very distinct way. It is permeated by the different type of music: the blue piano and the Varsouviana Polka. Each one appears in scenes which are occupied by a certain emotional state of Blanche. Therefore, music helps us to understand the mental condition of Blanche and the mood of this play, which cannot be depicted by lines and actions.
