PERSONAL OPINION
In my
opinion, this play is boring because I don’t understand some of the dialogues
and the action is slow. But I emphasize one thing: it is a good play in the
sense that it reflects the young society very well. The play captures the way
that the young people have to speak, their expressions; and it reflects the
reality of the young groups, where one is the strong boy who wants to be the
leader, the other is the handsome boy… In this way, the play is good. But I
think that it is boring and for me, this play is interesting only in that
aspect.
