Alfred Woltz Act 2 Summary
Act 1; Scene 1
MARK HANS: (In studio with lights coming on and images of New Guinea appearing on screen.) Today we are going to discuss the issues of Germany colonizing New Guinea and all the differing views. In 1884 Germany came in and tried to colonize the country of New Guinea. Two years later New Guinea is dealing with the changes the German government is making. Today, our feature reporter Ray Radenburg is in New Guinea interviewing German officer Lieutenant Hermann Detzner. Our other feature reporter Antonio Gilbert is in New Guinea interviewing Alfred Woltz, the leader of the Amung tribe. (Screen cuts to Ray Radenburg at the military base with Lieutenant Detzner.)

LIEUTENANT DETZNER: We have not forced them to do anything. We have asked them to change some things they do, but that is for the best of their well-being.
RAY RADENBURG: Thank you, now we’ll once again get the opinion of Alfred Woltz.
Act 2; Scene 2
ANTONIO GILBERT: How long are you expecting Germany to be in control over your country?
ALFRED WOLTZ: We are not entirely sure right now as to how long they will be here, but we are hoping to be independent again very soon and we are trying to do our best to make that happen.
ANTONIO GILBERT: Are there any specific things that the people of the German government are forcing you to do?
ALFRED WOLTZ; Yes, there are many different things they are forcing us …show more content…
ALFRED WOLTZ: (A single teardrop rolls down his face falling to the ground.) They are forcing us to work on plantations in poor working conditions. I have seen some of my best friends die because of them and all their “helpful” ideas. Their ideas are not helpful one bit, all they have done is cause my tribe and I grief for all that has happened these past two years.
ANTONIO GILBERT: That sounds like an awful experience. Lieutenant Detzner was asked the same question and he said they are not forcing you to do anything and he just wants what’s best for your country. Do you have any comments on that?
ALFRED WOLTZ: I do not think watching some of my friends and family die is what is best for me. There may be other tribes where those things are happening, but in most of the ones I am in close relationships with those things are not happening and people are dying daily.
ANTONIO GILBERT: I thank you for sharing what is going on in your tribe and I hope the best for you and the rest of New Guinea.
ALFRED WOLTZ: Thank you for having me and allowing me to share my
