Well, it's a little early in the book to make very many assumptions, but what we read in class surprised me. It had a very fun tone, and it feels like it is going to be a pretty lighthearted book. The language really contributed to this, although I disagree with what some people think about the way the characters talk. I don't think I would use the word "uneducated" to describe the way they talk, because that makes them seem unintelligent, which isn't necessarily true. Just because they talk in a different style, doesn't mean they are stupid.
I also enjoyed the attitude of the characters. Boy Willie and Droaker seemed very gleeful and careless, which makes me feel like that is the way the rest of the play will be. It created a quicker pace, which makes it a little more interesting to read.
My comment on James Dolan's Blog:
I'm going to have to disagree with this one. There are plenty of musicians out there that aren't "educated." Just because someone talks differently, doesn't mean they don't have intelligence and this is pretty irrelevant to music in my opinion.
i agree about it being early but i also noticed the uneducated vibe. i wonder if that will be more invoved in the plot later on in the book
