Appendix G: Excerpt from The Glass Menagerie

Excerpt from Scene VII of The Glass Menagerie

AMANDA [faintly] Things have a way of turning out so badly.

I don't believe that I would play the victrola. Well, well - well Our gentleman caller

was engaged to be married!

TOM!

TOM [from back]: Yes, Mother?

AMANDA: Come in here a minute. I want to tell you something awfully funny.

TOM [enters with macaroon and a glass of lemonade]: Has the gentleman caller

gotten away already?

AMANDA: The gentleman caller has made an early departure. What a wonderful joke

you played on us !

TOM: How do you mean?

AMANDA: You didn't mention that he was engaged to be married.

TOM: JIM? Engaged?

AMANDA: That's what he just informed us.

TOM: I'll be jiggered ! I didn't know about that

AMANDA: That seems very peculiar.

TOM: 'What's peculiar about it?

AMANDA: Didn't you call him your best friend down at the warehouse?

TOM: He is, but how did I know?

AMANDA: It seems extremely peculiar that you wouldn't know your best friend was

going to be married !

TOM: The warehouse is where I work, not where I know things about people !

AMANDA: You don't know things anywhere ! You live in a dream; you manufacture

illusions !

[He crosses to door.]

Where are you going?

TOM: I'm going to the movies.

AMANDA: That's right, now that you've had us make such fools of ourselves. The

effort, the preparations, all the expense ! The new floor lamp, the rug, the clothes for

Laura ! all for what? To entertain some other girl's fianc ! Go to the movies, go !
Don't think about us, a mother deserted, an unmarried sister who's crippled and has no

job ! Don't let anything interfere with your selfish pleasure I just go, go, go - to the

movies !

TOM: All right, I 'will ! The more you shout about my selfishness to me the quicker

I'll go, and I won't go to the movies !

AMANDA: Go, then ! Then go to the moon - you selfish dreamer !

[Tom smashes his glass on the floor. He plunges out on the fire-escape, slamming the

door . LAURA screams -cut by door.

Dance-hall Music up. TOM goes to the rail and grips it desperately, lifting his face in

the chill white moonlight penetrating narrow abyss of the alley.

LEGEND ON SCREEN: ' AND SO GOOD-BYE...'

TOM 's closing speech is timed with the interior pantomime. [The interior scene is

played as though viewed through soundproof glass. AMANDA appears to be making a

comforting speech to LAURA who is huddled upon the sofa. Now that we cannot hear

the mother's speech, her silliness is gone and she has dignity and tragic beauty.

LAURA' s dark hair hides her face until at the endof the speech she lifts it to smile at

her Mother. AMANDA' s gestures are slow and graceful, almost dancelike as she

comforts the daughter. At the end of her speech she glances a moment at the father's
picture - then withdraws through the portires. At the close of Tom's speech, LAURA

blows out the candles, ending the play.]

TOM: I didn't go to the moon, I went much further - for time is the longest distance

between places. Not long after that I was fired for writing a poem on the lid of a

shoebox.

I left Saint Louis. I descended the step of this fire-escape for a last time and followed,

from then on, in my father's footsteps, attempting to find in motion what was lost in

space - I travelled around a great deal. The cities swept about me like dead leaves,

leaves that were brightly coloured but tom away from the branches.

I would have stopped, but I was pursued by something.

It always came upon me unawares, taking me altogether by surprise. Perhaps it was a

familiar bit of music. Perhaps it was only a piece of transparent glass. Perhaps I am

walking along a street at night, in some strange city, before I have found companions.

I pass the lighted window of a shop where perfume is sold. The window is filled with

pieces of coloured glass, tiny transparent bottles in delicate colours, like bits of a

shattered rainbow.

Then all at once my sister touches my shoulder. I turn around and look into her eyes ...

Oh, Laura, Laura, I tried to leave you behind me, but I am more faithful than I

intended to be !
I reach for a cigarette, I cross the street, I run into the movies or a bar, I buy a drink, I

speak to the nearest stranger -anything that can blow your candles out !

[LAURA bends over the candles.]

- for nowadays the world is lit by lightning ! Blow out your candles, Laura - and so

good-bye.

[She blows the candles out.]

 Lesson 4
Appendix A: Teacher Draft

Off the point of a little town, the boat bobbled in the water. The water was beginning to

get so warm that it no longer offered any relief from the heat. The sun was the kind of bright

where even sunglasses are not enough. It bounced off the creases in the water and then broke into

a hundred different directions, each brighter than the next. Up ahead, the stacks of the paper mill

peered over some trees. Beside the boat, the marsh grassed leaned back and forth with the wind.

Lesson 7
Appendix A:

Do-Now: Read over this section and then answer the questions below.

I kept glancing over at Wellpinit as they ran their lay-up drills. And I noticed that Rowdy

kept glancing over at us.

At me.

Rowdy and I pretended that we werent looking at each other. But, man, oh, man, we

were sending some serious hate signals across the gym.

I mean, you have to love somebody that much to also hate them that much, too.

Our captains, Roger and Jeff, ran out to the center circle to have the game talk with the

refs.

Then our band played the Star-Spangled Banner.

And then our five starters, including me, ran out to the center circle to go to battle against

Wellpinits five.

Rowdy smirked at me as I took my position next to him.

Wow, he said. You guys must be desperate if youre starting.

Im guarding you, I said.

What?

Im guarding you tonight.

 You cant stop me. Ive been kicking your butt for fourteen years.

Not tonight, I said. Tonights my night.

Rowdy just laughed.

Questions:

1. In this section, how do we know when someone is talking?

2. What patterns do you see in punctuation around where they talk?

Appendix B:

Practice Examples: Add the proper punctuation.

Marshall said Tomorrow is my first day of work

I dont feel like doing anything today grumbled Janet.

Wow James cried Im so excited for this new school year

Appendix C:

Reminders of how to use punctuation with quotations

Remember, always use a quotation mark at the beginning and at the end of the quote.

Ms. Sheffield said, Put the comma before the quote if its part of a sentence.

Put the comma inside of the quotation marks if the sentence continues, said Ms. Sheffield.

You know, Laquan said. Ms. Sheffield taught us to put the period inside of the quotation

marks when its the end of the sentence.
