'A Taste of Honey\r'

'Shelagh Delaney was the author of the play A savou put off of H wholenessy. She was born in Broughton, Salford where she attended her three prime schooling. Her ambition was alship canal to write that is why at her early age, she began writing. Unfortunately, the perfor bitce of Delaney was fair only as seen in her achievements in the early p prowess of her c arer. She was non known for her writing that is why she focuses on how to cave in her writing skills (McCully).Delaney was a late bloomer in terms of her exposement in writing skills. In fact, when she started writing her novel, A Taste of H acey, she realized that it entrust be better to transform the novel into a play. Then eventually, the written novel was changed into a play.The main(prenominal) boloney of the play focused on a teen-aged working sept girl refuses to conform to her depressed surroundings. The play tells the viewer natural mixer problems of Britain corresponding poverty. The play director, Joan Littlewood, suggested that the play must be depicted by a simple or typical girl which the director based it from what the novel wants to bear to the audience.SUMMARY in front passing to the analytical and rich discussion on the play A Taste of Honey, it is better to total first the play. The main sources of the play are Josephine, Helen, Peter, The son, and Geoffrey.The son is a black sailor who was in get it on with Josephine that did not seen much in the play. Before he goes to the sea were he intended to decease for six months, he asked Josephine to marry him and gave her a ring as a sign of his love to her. From the play, The Boy impregnates Josephine.   Helen is the m otherwise of Josephine. At the beginning of the play, she and her miss had move into a chilly and unclean flat house. Josephine was the ware of Helen’s brief relation to a man who had divorced her eventually.The character of Helen was a hardened, middle-aged, working class alcoholic mothe r, while Peter is a young, loaded man from London who was the reason why Helen leaves her daughter to start a new life. And the last main character is Geoffrey, a homo versed who happened to be Josephine’s roommate after she moved to another place. Geoffrey is the one who take care Josephine when she is still pregnant (Delaney). The story is all about(predicate) the adolescent of a familiar girl, Josephine, a young working-class girl, is leftfield but and pregnant when her saloon-frequenting mother runs off to get married, and her lover, a Black sailor, returns to duty never to be seen again, but she finds help and friendship with Geoffrey, a homo cozy art student.The full points of adolescenceThe purpose of this paper is to sop up a deep analysis or critical review about the play and focusing on the stages of adolescences of the main character who is Josephine.We know that all of us willing suffer the stage of adolescence. Males and females bring on different st age or development periods just to say they are going or undergoing on the adulthood. The adolescence period is one of the clamber and sometimes turmoil as the adolescent strives to develop a personal identity and achieve a successful transition from kidskinhood to adulthood (Estes).The supra paragraph shows the true meaning of adolosence period in a more technical or scientific manner. Though this can be considered for this paper, but I think what is more important to analyze are the changes that undergoes an adolescent in terms of psychological, mental, social and heathen changes. The psychological, cognitive and social changes associated with adolescences are the most hard and profound in any development period.Physical and grammatical genderual maturities are reached during adolescence with girls tending to experience both pubescence and growth spurt earlier than boys. Although Josephine had a stimulateual relation with The Boy, this cannot be associated only with the sex ual matureness of Josephine but more deep which is the social and stimulated condition of Josephine when she unyielding to have sexual relation. This national will be discussed as we go on the way.A normal adolescence period will have genuine increasingly sophisticated cognitive and interpersonal skills, footrace out adult roles and behaviors and begin to explore educational and occupational opportunities that will significantly influence hereafter adult work life and socioeconomic status. In the case of Josephine, her personal strength was tested when she was left by her mother in exchange to the soaked man.Josephine strived not only for herself but also for her child who is still in her womb. Josephine had learned to deal with other people in order to survive from the sharp environment. She first met The Boy who had shown affection for Josephine. In adolescence period, in that respect will come a time that we will be attracted to the opposite sex and this what Josephine experienced in the middle part of the play.They both had a gyp affair. Due to alienation and loneliness, she decided to have sex relation with The Boy. There are many reasons why a person undergoing adolescence period wants to engage into sex. somewhat is for the somatogenetic and sexual maturity while others is because they have some emotional and social problems and thought that having sex will eliminate all these problems. In the case of Josephine, I think she has deeper purpose why she decided have sex and not only for physical maturity (Savage).I think the main reason why Josephine had undergone a not so normal adolescence stage is because her abnormal social and economic status of their family. iodin parent is one of the sensitive issues in our fiat because it concerns children physical, mental, and emotional development. From the play, Josephine has single-parent households.We know for the fact that our parents are the ones who have the major responsibility in caring, t eaching and nurturing the determine needed in our development as a child and as adulthood (Belcastro). They are the one who will guide and stand behind us in every steps, decisions, choices as well our falls. Without them, there can only be two ways where we will go, the right way or the price way.If the personality of the person is weak, then he or she will be easily go to the wrong(p) path of adolescence period while if the person does not being hindered by many physical, emotional and social problems, then he or she can keep down all these and will go to the right path.These problems that were be from the play were all good picture of what the country, large Britain, is experiencing when Delaney wrote it. I think the author want to underscore every problem to the viewers and internalize on how to deal with these. The author wants to impart or better on what is really happening in their society. This is resembling a call to response on these problems on which she used th e abnormal stage of adolescence.\r\n'
