Analysis of You're Never Ready by Gillian Fu

Analysis of You're Never Ready by Gillian Fu

I like the story, You're Never Ready by Gillian Fu. The drama script uses common language and words so that it's easy for me to understand.  The playwright makes the storyline well and it is very interesting, it makes the reader curious about what will happen next.

The story You're Never Ready tells the story of a 18-year-old boy named Tristan.  He has a strong passion to participate in a war.  The reason he wanted to go to war was to see the outside world besides his village and want to fight for his country, but there were 2 officers from the army who doubted it because of his young age.

At the beginning of the script there is a dialog :

HENRI

You, boy! Do you know where we can find some eager men to fight for our country in the war?

TRISTAN

You’re looking at one. I am. 

The dialogue described that Tristan wanted to take part in a war. It shows that there is hope from one character towards another character. (Hopeful)

In the next section there is a statement "Confused, ALEX butts in."  and dialogue :

ALEX

You’re just a child.

The statement and dialogue stated that Alex felt confused and regarded Tristan as a child to take part in the war. That shows that there is a character's confusion about the situation at that time. (Confused)

The social problem in this story is the lack of trust in someone who is just growing up to do and try new positive things in their lives.  Adolescence should be a time when someone is given the freedom to express and channel what they want.  This can be one of the keys to their success in the future.

As in this drama script there is a dialogue:

HENRI

Hold it there. Don’t be rash.

TRISTAN

I’m not! I know what I want to do and that is get out of this village and see the world.

The statement "Don't be rash" in the dialogue shows that there is Henri's distrust and worry for a teenager, Tristan. (Worried)

Fu as a playwright gives a tendency towards the male characters in the drama script. As in the statement "TRISTAN sprints off, kicking the autumn leaves into the air, making a wirlwind of orange."  The sentence in the statement shows that a man is someone who is manly.

At the end of the story in the drama script I feel happy. Finally, the two forces, Henri and Alex, gave Tristan the opportunity to take part in the war. I believe the desire, confidence and confidence in someone who is a teenager will get good results on the persistence he has done.

Analysis of Chauffeur Driven by Simon Kyle Parker

I like the story, Chauffeur Driven by Simon Kyle Parker.  The playwright uses a general diction so that the story is easy to understand.  The situations and conditions are well described.  When I read it, I can feel what the atmosphere in the story is like.  I feel like I'm in that part of the story, and I think this story has a good moral message.

The Chauffeur Driven tells about a boy who lives well off but doesn't get enough attention from his father.  His father who was busy only fulfilling his financial needs.  These conditions make the moral behavior of the boy becomes not really good.

At the beginning of the script, there is the statement "Rex kicks out at the back of Mark’s seat, Angrily."  The kick out at the back  statement states that Rex had a problem with how he should behave towards other people.  In the dialogue "My father is your employer,"  maybe for him he can do anything to the people who work for him.

The social problem that occurs in this story is the moral behavior of a child who is not good.  It can be caused due to lack of attention from parents towards children.  As good parents, in addition to providing financial needs, they must also pay attention to the moral needs of children.  Although moral needs can be obtained from others, it is better if moral attention is obtained directly from parents as the first person who is close to the child.

In this story Rex is reunited with a driver who is different as usual drivers, Mark. Where there is one statement in the dialog in the Mark dialog liker "Regular driver on holiday. To get away from you. I think. I'm doing this one week and no more."  From there, it can be seen that Mark is a temporary driver for some time.  As a driver, there are several actions that make us as readers feel surprised.  As he said "No music. You just sit there and wait. I like to drive in silence so be quiet."  The driver dared to refuse orders and told Rex to sit and wait.

The driver's courage can also be seen from some of the actions described in the script, like when they were on their way home.

Mark suddenly makes a sharp turn.

REX

Hey. Where are you going. This isn’t the way home.

Mark  ignores him. Speeds up. Rex looks very worried.

Until the driver can conquer Rex when discussing Rex's father, as in this statement.
Rex begins to cry. Let’s the tears roll down his face.

REX

My father wouldn’t come. Not even if I was dying. He still wouldn’t come.

Marx's assessment of Rex is now different as in this part of the script.
Rex wraps his arms around Mark, buries his face into his stomach and hugs Mark tight. Mark looks down at him and smiles warmly.

MARK

You’re not so bad.

Parker as a playwright  gives a tendency to the male characters in the script. As in the statement, "Handsome with big blue eyes", describes the good looks of a man.  Beside that, another statement about Mark "Messy hair and tattoos on his neck drives."  Mark's tattoo indicates that a man is a strong person.

At the end of the story I feel happy.  Rex became more intimate and kind with his driver.  A child who gets moral learning from his driver.  Now we know that moral education can be obtained from the surrounding environment.  Even though parents shou

Ma life...


Tak mengapa jika pagi, siang, soreku dan angka merah itu tak bisa menyapa usaha si masadepan.


Tapi...

Ku tak suka jika malamku di usik hingga setidaknya sedikit saja usaha untuk masadepanku benar-benar tak bisa disapa..
