Drama first arrived in America in the early eighteenth century. Initially influenced by English drama, American drama started to develop a unique identity over time. In this activity, you will answer questions about The Still Alarm by George S. Kaufman. Part A
How would the play The Still Alarm have been different if it was not a parody and the characters reacted normally to the fire in the hotel?

ANSWER:
Under normal circumstances, in the event of a fire at a hotel, the hotel guests and employees would panic and head to an exit as quickly as possible to save themselves. The characters would not idle away time in needless, calm conversation, but rather they would call the fire department for help immediately. As the characters realized the flames were reaching their floor, they would have become more frantic and concerned about finding an escape route. The firemen would also have been more proactive and would not have brought along a fiddle to play. If the characters reacted more realistically, the play would not have the same humorous effect.

The quote “He could feel it on his neck, still, like a hot paw” reveal that Mr. Hadley remembers the Veldt very clearly.

Explanation:

'The Veldt' by Ray Bradbury is an excellent science fiction which depicts a tale of advance of technology and how it is important for people and parents to maintain a good communication during such times of technological advancements.

George Hadley is the central character of the novel The Veldt. As the story moves forward, we come across a quote '"He could feel it on his neck, still, like a hot paw.' From this quote we can figure out that Mr. Hadley still remembers the veldt very clearly and vividly. He recalls each and every small details with absolute clarity, as if it was all real. And that was the time when Hadley realizes that something is wrong.
