Although the play was a very funny and interesting piece of
literature, there is something I did not like as much. What I didn’t really
like about this book is how in act 2 all the characters change all their names
and left it up to the readers to sort of guess which ones which. Some
characters were easier to point out than others such as, Pocahontas turns into
Sally. It was obvious because she is the only female mentioned in the book. Or
when Old Lodge Skins turns into John, it was obvious because John, in act 2,
was saying how he waited his whole life to be young again. Therefore meaning
that he was always the eldest, which lead to me guessing that John must have
been Old Lodge Skins in act 1. I also think that there could have been a better
ending to the play because in the closing scene it becomes quite clear that
another change is going to happen. The lights go out and with the dead white
writer, maybe still alive, everything could be changed again. But the writing
failed to leave the readers with much curiosity as to what new characters will
become of them this time. I believe it is
because when the characters changed the first time it wasn’t much of an
exciting moment in the book.
