Assignment+Five

In "Oleanna," she is talking to her teacher, and he tells her he is talking to her the way he would talk to his son because he wants her to have things he did not have. The play portrays a typical student. She begs for help, but this sort of realism differs greatly from the other realism we looked at. The other realism dealt with the average working man and his problems and was set inside of a very detailed house. This realism deals with the typical student and his/her problems and is set in a very simplistic office. The second video is set inside of a bar, and they are concerned with whether or not the one guy has contacted a different guy. It is not very realistic. "True West" is set inside of a detailed house. They are talking about the plates and how they are sentimental to the owner. The main character is not typical of a working man. He is almost typical of white trash. He drinks beer, talks southern, picks his nose, wears hardly any clothes (and those are ratty), has practically no respect for the other guy, and keeps cigarettees in his ear. He says that he can take care of hisself, when, in fact, it is evident that he cannot. He is very detailed when he speaks of the place he saw and wishes he had grown up in. This movie has certain realistic aspects, but most of it is not realistic. "Fences" is more realistic than the other clips. The set is outside of a house, but it is not very detailed. The son is worried that his father does not like him, and his dad tells him that he does not have to like him. But his dad tells him that he works hard for his son because it is his duty. His dad tells him that he should not worry about whether people like him or not. He should worry about if they are doing him right. These clips are not as realistic as the other clips we watched. They do not have the same aspects as realism, but certain parts do incorporate realism into them.
