Test Krik Krak Dialogue

Our dialogue took the themes from the book and used them to create a new story. One of the themes expressed in our dialogue is woman's oppression. In the dialogue we created, both of the women are single because their husbands left them. Additionally, the mother from night woman talks about how her husband physically threw her around, in order to get by.
In addition to woman's oppression, there is a theme of corruption. In the play, the night woman had to sell her body in order to bribe her way into the united states. Leaving Haiti was dangerous from them and her son barely made it out alive. Her son had to bribe the guard in order to get to college and leave Haiti. Even though she is a prostitute she still keeps a positive attitude in order about things. On the other hand, the Day woman is slightly pessimistic.
Another theme is self-sacrifice. Everyone in this story had to give up something or someone in order to be where they are. The day woman had to give up her social life in order to work her job. She is not able to have a social life because she is too preoccupied working. Additionally, most likely she sacrificed her daughter's life in order to keep her job. Although the dialogue does not directly say she died, she went to Haiti a few years ago and never let her mother know if she was ok. This leaves a sense of hope, but there is a slim chance that the daughter is ok.
This makes you question what really happened. The author does this a lot in Krik Krak. Our dialogue makes you think is the mother to blame for losing her daughter even though she told her daughter not to go? If she hadn't worked so much could she have saved her child's life or would she be living on the street? This leaves a sense of unknown similar to the story of the sinking boat and how we don't know if they made it to shore. In the dialogue, there are other unknowns that were meant to make the reader think. The night woman is a prostitute, which is displayed subtly in the script. Questions the reader may be asking is, is Ben genuinely a friend the night woman met on the plane? Or is the night woman selling herself to the man on the plane, and the man was nice enough to invite her to a party? It was subtly implied at the end that she left to go sell herself to this man.
Additionally, there is a theme of family. In the text, people risk their lives for their family. The night woman risked her life to visit America for thanksgiving. Even though her son is not there she still cares about him, and that is shown in the story.
Within the family, we kept the tone of the two sisters. One sister is very optimistic. Even though she's a prostitute, she has a good view on things. She is protective of her son and was able to get her son throught college from prostitution. She was able to take care of her son because of the job she had. On the other hand, the wealthier day woman is more pessimistic and less happy. She never went to her son's parent-teacher conferences. Consequently, she never connected with her daughter, ruining their line of communication.
Our play is more than just a friendly dialogue. It is an add-on to a potential outcome if the two girls were sisters. Our script maintains the characters personalities and includes themes such as family, poverty, oppression, self-sacrifice, hope, danger, and corruption.
