In Scene Two, we discover that Laura has been lying to Amanda about something very important. Amanda's reaction is equal parts outrage and distress.
In the midst of this, we find out that Amanda belongs to the D.A.R.
What is this organization and what are they about?
Does her membership in this organization strike you as a bit strange?
Why or why not?
We also find out that Laura is literally and figuratively "crippled" under the weight of her mother's expectations for her.
On a personal level, please answer this question as well:
Have you ever done something that has disappointed someone who has great expectations for you?
Have you ever felt that you did not want what someone else wanted for you?
Was this a burden to you?
Was there some other way to handle this issue?
What became of the situation when it was settled?
