Outside Reading Post 20

For todays belated blog post, I will post on the play, "All My Sons". First of all I'd really like to just comment on the overall thought of the play; it was very good except for the lack of change of scenes. The whole play took place in the Keller's back yard! I also would like to comment on the screenplay; I really enjoyed how the story kept itself moving, without filler scenes. One particular scene that I thought was very dramatic but at the same time important was the ending scene where Joe Keller kills himself. I really thought that this scene brought the whole play together, and introduced the moral of the story. I really thought that the moral was to not lie, but based on the ethical deliema presented within the story, I thought that Chris should have gave his father another chance. A son doesn't abandon his father for a mistake, b/c a father wouldn't do that to his son. Just a personal opinion I had about the ending of the play.
