Just Add Water

Observations- Dry grass. Rundown town. Unstable Wife. Horrible neighbors. Plain. Drug dealers. trailer parks. Woman working at grocery store. Ray working in a tollbooth in a parking garage.Unfulfilling life. Repeats "don't forget a mint". Turtle eating bright green lettuce. "American Dream". Edward wants to lose his virginity desperately. Ray leaves his wife

Inferences- Ray repeats "don't forget a mint" could mean improve your day. Drug dealers have power and control everyone. Green lettuce means "life". Nora is thin, unstable and cannot go out outside. Edward wants to be a man. Nora confesses that Edward is not his son.

QUESTIONS
1) Where is the police force?
2) What did the town Trona look like before?
3)What power do the drug dealers have over this town?
4) Is Ray and the young woman going to hook up?
5) Is Edward going to tell his father the truth or continue lying to him about not losing his virginity to the prostitute?
6) What is going to happen next ??

  1. 1) Ray says that all the respectable people left once the water was polluted with chemicals.
    2) I hope it looked beautiful and prosperus.
    3) They run everything because they have the people in the town addicted to their drugs so it is where everyone spends their money in hopes to escape their sad lives.
