Act 2

During Act 1 Eugene's family worried about the problems they had more then realizing the most important thing is family.  Often they talked a lot about how they had little money but so many people to care for. What they didn't do is look around at the love ones that surrounded them everyday. That is why this picture connects to Act 2 of Brighton Beach Memoirs. 

Act 2 had the family face multiple conflicts between each other for example, Kate and Blanche fighting, Jacks health declining and Nora claiming  she felt unloved because she got less attention then her sister. Everything seemed to be falling a part. At first I thought the family was going to split up and Blanche and her children would move out but by the end they realized family is more important than fighting and decided to end it. Nora realized her mother does love her and Blanche tells  her sister Kate on page 97 "But if you love someone, you forgive them." Love is what holds a family together and that shows in Act 2. The family has faced many difficulties with the loss of Blanche's husband years before, Jacks health declining, Blanche having to depend on her sister Kate to have a place to live. But through all the fights and hard times they have stuck together and remained a family.
