Act 2
Brighton Beach Memoirs
In act 1, the family had experienced some issues that had affected the whole family. With the family having financial issues and stressing about things, they didn’t realize that times like this is when they have to stay strong for each other the most. Family matters most and they all soon came to realize that in act 2.
Act 2 started out with a twist. The family was having some conflicts with each others. For example, Nora had felt like she wasn’t loved because he sister was getting more attention from everyone than she was. Another was when Blanche and Kate had a physical altercation. Everything was just going downhill to the point where it had me thinking Blanche was going to take her kids and leave. The turning point of this acting was when Kate and Blanche were talking on page 97. Blanche said “You live for your children. Your children keep you going”. I feel like Nora felt better after hearing this because she still knows her family cares about her. A family gets stronger and stronger from its children. Even though it’s a roller-coaster ride, a family has a bond that can’t be broken.
After reading your post I too noticed issues within the family. The heart attack that jack suffered is just one problem in the family. Another family issue is that Eugene says he hates Nora. This isn't the same type of issue as Jacks but they are both still family issues. I agree with how you said family is where love begins because family is where you get your first experience with love. And with love from family you can do whatever you want in life.
