important scenes


scene 1 (upper left)- this scene shows when rose and the speaker first meet. they first see each other from ends of the bar but rose progressively moves closer to him because of outside people moving in and out. this is where we see the story initially starts, after about 3 pages of other information.

scene 2 (upper right)- this scene shows when Jim throws roses son into the wall. on the left, you see the broken TV that rose threw a bottle through because Jim wouldn't do what rose told him to do. Jim was drunk and threw his son, usually he just busts him up but instead threw him. this is how the conflict ignites, literally.

scene 3 (lower left)- this is where we see rose finding the apartment on fire. when she saw the fire, she ran in to go get her 2 girls. on her way in she sees Jim holding a gas can. rose beats him up and then goes in the apartment to save her two girls. she throws a wet blanket over her two children. after this incident, social workers took rose's children away because they found her unfit as a mother. this leads to rose's unhappiness.

scene 4 (lower right)- this is the end. they leave to go their separate ways. they had an attraction and everything, but instead they left things to where they were. it seemed to start off as a love story, but just became a disappointment.
