Water by the Spoonful

The scene i chose to write about is Scene 10. In the beginning the scene overlaps with three different people/locations: Odesaa, Eliot and Yaz, and Orangutan. Eliot and Yaz are delivering a eulogy at a funeral, Orangutan is at the bus station deabating on leaving, and Odessa is spilling water onto the floor by the spoonful. I believe the reason why all these scenes are combined is because all of the main characters of these scenes are accepting that they've lost something that they can neve get back. For elliot it is his mother figure, odessa it's her daughter, and Orangutan it's her birth parents. At this moment in the script, they are all thinking back to when they had, needed, or wanted the person they've lost or never had. It's causing them to need a realse from the pain it causes them. As you read on in the story, you find out who made the right decision towards what theu used/did to find that relase. However, in this moment it set up the script for the ultimate climax in this peice. By combing all three of the realities together, the writer was able to show that all three of these characters were going through something traumatic all at the same time. It also allowed for the writer to have one ultimate script in the climax instead of several all over the place.
