The waiting room

I think the key messages in this play were to not care what you look on the outside it only matters about how you are on the inside. As an example of this I will use one of the characters and her name is Wanda she use to think that beauty is on the outside that it matters about how people think of you. Another character that thought like this was Forgiveness from heaven she also thought that beauty lied on the outside of a person. But at the end of the play they both found out that beauty is not what other people think of you. It matters what you think of you and it turns out that they looked fine the way they are. That they did not have to try to make them self’s look better, which they looked just fine.

One good point that Lisa Loomer made was that in today’s society women always are tiring to make them self’s look more attractive to men. When it turns out that most men don’t want to see a woman that has bleached skin or that has a face that has been done by plastic surgery. That they just want a normal looking woman. But some women are still starving them self’s thinking that this will make them more attractive. When it does not. That today’s women are doing all these things to their bodies thinking that this is the good healthy beautiful way to go. I think that gender has a big thing to do with this I mean you do not see a man tiring to make himself look healthier or more beautiful by starving to death. In today’s woman they get confused with beauty and health they think that beauty is healthy.

I think that the three women in this play known as Wanda, Forgiveness from heaven, and Victoria. Wanda was a woman that thought that men like women that have big boobs and a fixed up face. But in the end she realizes that it does not matter what other people think of you it matters what you think of you. Forgiveness from heaven has the same thoughts as Wanda she thought that it mattered about what men thought of you it does not matter what you think. But at the end along with Wanda they both realize that they do not care about what other people think of them. Now Victoria is a woman that is all bottled up tight. Because she never got the chance to speak out men had always controlled what she did so that got her all bottled up. But at the end her husband finally let his wife speak for her self. Two other characters named Ken and Larry you see Ken was a FDA agent and Larry was a guy that wanted his cure for cancer to get out there. And for him to do that he had to make friends with Ken so he could get passed the USA government. To me Larry did not care about the people he just thought of them as test subjects. But Ken he was a clueless man a nice guy that was taken advantage of by Larry.

The way that Lisa Loomer ended the play was not a good ending to me I mean it ended with one of the characters dieing. It still needed to go on there were still some more problems like Doug’s cancer problem she just cut him out of the play after a while. Also like what happened to Ken and Larry she cut them off too. Near the end of the play she just started cutting people out of the play and it just ended up with Wanda and Forgiveness from heaven. I mean if I could end the play I would not cut out any people like have Doug have cancer treatment and have Larry put in jail. See how Wanda does with her breasts removed and have fake ones put in. I would end that play differently.
