0Julie Carvalho Professor Harrigan Theater and Social Justice 9/22/14 How I learned to thank my abuser? How I Learned To Drive by Paula Vogel is a story told in reverse, of a girl who was molested at a young age by her uncle, and how overtime her understanding of her own situation changed. By the end of the story Lil Bit, the narrator, is almost at the point of pitying her uncle, whereas most people would probably despise him. There are obvious connections, such as how both Doubt and How I Learned To Drive both focus on child molestation, and how they both contain a mother who doesn’t act to protect her child, but I feel the strongest connection is actually between this play and Sonny’s Blues. The sense of freedom that music gave to Sonny and how it gave him a sort of power over his drug addiction reminded me of the sense of freedom and control that Lil Bit felt while driving.

In the first paragraph she writes about how negatively she feels about her name. She used connotation such as, “it is like the number nine” and “a muddy color” (109) to show her aversion for her name. The narrator used simile like stating, “It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing” (109). She used this simile to draw equivalence to the sadness her name represented to her.

By taking on a psychoanalytic scope of her autobiography, a reader can explore the author’s past to delve deeper into the meaning of her harsh language and her opposing tone towards the world.

(97) Therefore, Rose also employs an idea of herself as inhuman; she mentions that her family “threw [her] away”, connoting that they simply disposed of her as worthless. Rose repeatedly states that her family ignored her and further intensifies her unpromising feelings of isolation from society as she reiterates, "When my family threw me away” (97) and includes, “every human on earth did likewise.” (97) If one were to observe Rose’s identity issues from a psychoanalytic perspective, considering that “as a child... [She] knew she didn’t belong among people” (97) and was “emotionally crippled” (97), her bitter tone stems from her empty stance in the world as a
Abstract expressionism was first used as a term in art in 1919, when an Berlin artist Wassily Kandinsky works was described as abstract, but the real movement of abstract expressionism art didn’t really take off until after World War II, (1950’s), putting New York City, in the center of the art world. Abstract Expressionism began as a combination of emotional intensity and self-expression, and action painting. In 1943, Arshile Gorky (1904-1948) painted “Garden of Sochi.

Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) used action as a form of abstract expressionism, in which paint is spontaneously splashed, smeared or dribbled on canvas.
