Caged In Her heart is pounding, contemplating should she tell the truth. I don’t want him to look at me any differently from the things I suffered in the past, worrying every night questioning when will I ever get out, she waited on an escape that would never happen. But she found the love of her life and felt she had escaped, she had felt free again. I would never want to live in a cage again. The author Adam Kraar describes the conflict between two main characters Marie and Adam. The author uses figurative language using his words and examples to convey an impacting message. Marie one of the main characters in the story was a very complex part of the play she was very important. For example she acts the way she do because of bad experiences for her in the past. Author Adam Kraar develops her emotion towards the issue throughout the whole play. Marie says “I don’t ever want to live in a cage. page 321” meaning she wants to be free, and if she stays the night with Robbie she won’t be free she would be locked in, like she was in the past. Author Adam Kraar makes the scene more

For example Adam Kraar uses descriptive words while Marie and Robbie starts to argue about her not staying the night he say “Marie angrily puts several cigarettes in her mouth, and one up each nostrils, then goes to Robbie and starts to light them. Pg 320” The author is painting the scene in your mind with Robbie and Marie’s argument, you can tell that is intense and that both of them are very serious, you are able to analyze the conflict of the play and understand what is happening. But her cigarettes are only negative impacting because everyone she smokes hole bad habits, anger aggression and a lot of mistakes from the past. So Adam Kraar ties that in so it can play a role in why Robbie doesn’t like her

You are the best thing you have.…
