The expectation is that the class is quiet, and you are working independently. A few people already sent in their essays. 

 Please work silently on whatever you choose.

ASSIGNMENT: Neil Simon's play Brighton Beach Memoirs is all about the importance of family and taking advantage of the resources you have in them. 

 In no fewer than 250 words, discuss two of the conflicts within the play and how they were resolved within the family.  Remember to use specific character names and rich details.

 Note: careful with language conventions. Check your punctuation, spelling and grammar. (Read aloud in your head.) In order to receive full credit, you must vary your sentence structures. 

 Look at the character list. What conflicts do you note? How about internal conflicts?
