The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds

I wasn't entirely sure of where the first scene ended, so I ended up reading the entire first act. I'm really enjoying it though. I loved the part at the very beginning when she was talking about atoms. I thought it was cool to think about where the atoms that make you come from. I kind of hate Beatrice and Ruth. There both very self-centered and inconsiderate. I feel really bad for Nanny too, they have to yell at her like she's a deaf toddler and they say terrible things about her to her face knowing she couldn't hear. It was also annoying how when people were laughing at Tillie during the assembly,  Ruth nor Beatrice comforted her, only told her to never do anything like it again because when people laughed at Tillie, they were laughing at the family. I hope there is some kind of revelation in the second act.

  1. I also definitely enjoyed the part at the beginning with the atoms. At first it just seemed strange, but then, once I started to think about it, it was quite interesting. But then I tried to imagine what it would be like to be Nanny...
