Go look by Christopher Graybill

Kath and Danny were in the forest; they hear a noise. They do not know what is making that noise they belief that that noise comes from a bear, or some kind of animal. The point of this ten minutes play is beyond the source of the noise. The author wants to let us know about social issues which are female and male roles and stereotypes. For example, males are capable of fighting beast because they are strong while women are fragile according to stereotypes. Kath and Danny are voices in this problematic and they are give us a message that we women and men are the same we both have strengths and weakness. The author used a simple vocabulary and funny tone because he wants to assure that we all get the message. Women are not the only feeling fear men will feel it too. Women are capable of having bad feeling. For example, Kath said something referring to her mother “she said something. I don’t remember what. Not very nasty, not for her. Something about my shoes. It was nothing, really. But for an instant I felt like letting go. Just letting go and watching gravity work. I imagined chair rolling down the slope, over the edge, and bouncing down the back steps. All the way to the garage. And when the police and ambulance would come, I’d be crying and sobbing and explaining. But inside I’d be dancing.” Feeling and thoughts are universal; people can experience them beside their sex.
