What i liked about the play!

I really enjoyed reading this play and would recommend this book to others. What I really liked in particular about this play is the style of the writing and the humorous tone. Drew Hayden Taylor writes in such a funny way and makes fun about indigenous people by putting stereotyped individuals of different backgrounds together to let them discover that they are all different characters. I liked the way every character had completely different: noble, innocent, ignorant, fearless, wise and gay. None of these characters know how the writer had died. They try to find out if one of the six did kill him. The different characters in the book make it really amusing. Sometimes it seems to be that they didn’t fit together and they wanted to kill each other. Then other times they fight together to find the murder of the white writer. While reading the play in act 1, there are some monologues each character presents. The one that impressed me the most was Pocahontas’. Usually she is the small Indian girl, that doesn’t like violence or fighting. But in this scene she jumps out of her daily life role and gets really angry. I was laughing really hard when I first read it.
