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.
