Theater Question

I need an explanation for this Theater question to help me study.

Please compare the themes and ideas presented in Into the Woods and South Pacific in the proposed questions.

Answer both of the following questions in essay form. Please site material from Rising Up, The Lectures/ Videos, and the musicals. Please use AT LEAST one citation from each of these materials.

Bold your citation and if you use a direct quote please bold that as well. I am looking for a balance between citation and your opinion analysis. You should have these elements in both of your answers

1. The Witch in Into The Woods in the song “Children Will Listen” and Cable in South Pacific in the song “You Have to Be Carefully Taught” both talk about the way we learn and what we as humans learn. How are these the same ideas? Where do they diverge from each other ( aka – what specifically is each character talking about)? Where have you seen examples of their ideas ( opinions) In your personal experience or personal observations?

2. We could say that both of these shows deal with a specific time in American History.

South Pacific is set during World War II and Into The Woods during the 1980s at the height of a pandemic. Although I want to point out the Into The Woods transcends many times in history as well as our present. In your opinion what do these two shows tell us about the community? At the end of the shows, do you think there is hope that the respective communities will achieve the goals that the writers presented? Why or Why not?

Please answer each question separately

This next part requires you to create in a word processor like “Microsoft Word”.

Your response should be.
2-4 pages.

I don’t think you can really answer both questions in less than two pages so do your best
If you struggle to reach that but please don’t just add words to meet the guideline.
Really flush out your answers BUT
don’t repeat the same thing over and over to meet the two pages.
1.5 spacing
Times new roman 12
1 in margins all around
Please do not include the full question – if you copy and paste it – as part of the format
