needs a reread

بئاتریس: با بی حالی ماتیلدا
تیلی: بله مامان
بئاتریس: از دنیا متنفرم, می فهمی اینو ماتیلدا
تیلی: آره مامان.
بئاتریس: از دنیا متنفرم.

به وقت دو بهمن نود و نه خیلی اتفاقی از تو قفسه برداشتمش و از اسمش خوشم اومد و الان حس میکنم چقدر انتخاب درستی کردم. . جنون زندگی و روابط آدمها. . مادری عصبی که در آستانه فروپاشی روحیه و دو دخترش که دنیاهاشون باهم خیلی متفاوته.
نگاهش به علم و برداشتی که ازش داشت رو خیلی دوست داشتم. علم روزنهی امید دختری نوجونیه که تو فضای متشنج خونهای بدون پدر برای دوست داشتن زندگی تلاش میکنه.
به قول تیلی: روزی فرا میرسد که انسان از خداوند بخاطر نیروی عجیب و زیبای اتم سپاسگزاری میکند I picked up Zindel's play after watching the movie adaptation, The Effect of Gamma Rays on ManintheMoon Marigolds as a film resonated strongly with me, so I figured I should read the play and perhaps even compare the literary work and the movie.


But after reading the play, I realized just

how well Paul Newman had captured Tillie's situation and transferred it to the screen.
The living conditions that border on deplorable, being just a few steps above abject poverty, living with an embittered mother and unwell sister, constantly being disregarded as the youngest and quietest, being the oddone out at school thanks to all of the above.
. . yes, both the play and the movie encapsulate the feelings of aloneness, distance, differentness, Tillie is radically different from her setting, both in her demeanor and tastes, She is an introverted, scientifically minded girl who does her Science fair project with so much diligence, and despite being used as a verbal punching bag, she still finds enough kindness in herself to nurture a bunny, do things for her mother more than she is supposed to do! and treat Nanny, the elderly boarder her mother has taken in, with respect.


The symbolism of Tillie's science project ManintheMoon marigolds exposed to various degrees of radiation becomes obvious after being immersed in Tillie's life.
Just as the modestly radiated marigolds, which have grown into wonderful specimens with useful mutations, it's hinted that that will be the outcome of Tillie's growing up in a toxic environment a beautiful and strong human being.

This story hits me on a personal level, As a teacher, I've taught kids from dysfunctional families and have witnessed the uphill ongoing battle they faced, One of my students had a parent who committed suicide, Others have persevered with parents like Tillie's mother Beatrice, It's comforting to realize that many will survive and be the stronger for their experience, I can relate to Ruth's epilepsy, accurately and sympathetically conveyed by the author, I wish I had known about this book earlier and would have read it to my older students, ۳. ۵
برام خیلی خوشحال کننده بود که نویسنده تمام تلاشش رو برای ارتباط یک موضوع علمی و ادبیات کرده بود. نمایشنامه زیاد چیزی رو توضیح نمیداد. سرنخهایی از شخصیت و گذشته و حالات روحی افراد دستت میداد که خودت باید تکمیلش میکردی. در کل غمانگیز بود. Minus one star because I was at a meeting where everyone had to say what they were reading, and I had to spit this whole title out.
This book had been on my bookshelves for several years prior to my picking it up a few days ago.
I'm not quite sure how it arrived there, although I think I may have acquired it for free at a book giveaway at my alma mater's library.
To be completely transparent, I was simply looking for a quick book to read and noticed that this one was short and appeared relatively interesting, so I grabbed it and flipped through it to find out it was actually a short play, and also found the text to be quite spaced out on the pagetwo things that encouraged my reading of it.


A bit of brief history: The Effect of Gamma Rays on ManintheMoon Marigolds had its world premier in the theatre inand was published in book form in.
It was later adapted for the screen in, Its author is Paul Zindel, a playwright and science teacher from Staten Island, New York,

The plot centers around a dysfunctional family: a widow named Beatrice Hunsdorfer and her two daughters, Matilda "Tillie" and Ruth.
Throughout the play, the introvertedyethighlyintelligent child Tillie prepares an experiment for her school's science fair involving marigolds raised from seeds exposed to varying degrees of radioactivity.
However, her selfcentered and abusive mother, Beatrice, continuously attempts to halt Tillie's progress due to her own selfloathing and overall abusive nature toward her children.
The other daughter, Ruth, is more extroverted than Tillie but considerably mentally unstable, As the play develops, Tillie wins the science fair through perseverance, Ruth repeatedly attempts to stand up to her mother but experiences several nervous breakdowns, and Beatrice is eventually driven insane and commits several violent acts toward her family and local community.
However, despite it all, Tillie continues to believe that everyone is truly valuable,

I greatly enjoyed this playeven though I don't have much experience reading plays, The story is much more characterdriven than plot driven, as there isn't a whole lot going on plotwise, but the characters are fascinating to observe.
Watching Beatrice treat her daughters with such vitriol and wardenlike control is difficult but it makes for an intriguing book that is difficult to put down.
Zindel does an excellent job of keeping the reader in the dark about many of the plot points and character reveals, waiting until the right moment to present new information that will help to understand what is going on in the family's overall dynamic.
Even though I don't typically go to the theatre, I would certainly consider seeing this play performed live, and I highly recommend giving it a read if you get a chance, as I was pleasantly surprised.
کتاب ساختار ساده ای داره و صحنه ها بعضا من رو به یاد مک دونا می انداخت ولی آنچه اونو متمایز می کرد هم آمیختگیش با علم بود که بر موضوعات تکراری و همیشگی سایه افکنده بود. This play is so powerful, devastating and uplifting both, Its a painful but wonderful story about a bright childs ability to surmount her circumstances her sister and mother are not able to do so.
Some very unpleasant verbal child abuse depicted, Terrific use of symbolism. This is one that really got to me emotionally, بعد از دوره کتابهای آقای فوئنتس داستانی خطی و سرراست واقعا به آدم میچسبید.
کتاب رو دوست میداشتم و فضاسازیای که داشت برای من مطلوب بود.
صاف و ساده بود بله! Paul Zindel's compelling and inspirational Pulitzer Prizewinning play that was made into a motion picture directed by Paul Newman starring Joanne Woodward.
The old, converted vegetable shop where Tillie lives is more like a madhouse than a home, Tillie's mother, Beatrice, is bitter and cruel, yet desperate for her daughters' love, Her sister, Ruth, suffers epileptic fits and sneaks cigarettes every chance she gets, In the midst of chaos, Tillie struggles to keep her focus and dreams alive, Tillie keeper of rabbits, dreamer of atoms, true believer in life, hope, and the effect of gamma rays on maninthemoon marigolds.
What a devastatingly great play, The play does show its age a bit, a little rust around the edges, but nothing that a good director couldnt adjust.
This is an emotional play about a mother and her relationship with both of her daughters, In some ways you can say there are parallels to of the mother and Willie Loman from Death of a Salesman.
Both have not accomplished what they thought they would in life, and both fooling themselves to an extent, only the mother in this is so much more self aware of her failures.
Her misery she inflicts on to both her daughters with little to no thought as to what she is doing to them.
One daughter is at the point or rebelling the other is there trying to appease, I thought this was a very accurate portrayal of this kind of unhealthy family dynamic, you often see this in families with an alcoholic parent.
