The play that I liked the most was Beyond The Horizon. The reason why is because this play has alot to do with my life when I went away to college for the first time. When I had to make a big choice that I wasnt use to, which was leaving my parents for the first time. Robert wanted to go and explore new things and his life but his brother Andrew wanted him to stay on the farm with the family. Robert wanted to become a man and being a man on his own.
As a college student I had to leave some things behind and follow my dreams that I wanted to do in life. When you are making a big decision in life you have to think about the people you are leaving behind and the things that will will be left behind. If the people really love you they will support you no matter what.
Robert parents really didnt want him to leave them because they were so used to him being there with them all the time. They knew they would have had to adjust to not seeing him on the daily anymore. The brothers shouldnt have let ruth come between them because blood is thicker than water no matter what.
This play really was meant for me to read because some of the same things that happened in the play happened to me in my life before. The most sad part was that andrew fell for Ruth when she didnt even really love him, she claimed to love andrew again. Then andrew didnt love her anymore so now the joke was on ruth. Thats what she gets for trying to break up a family and it backfired on her all in her face. Also Robert shouldnt have died he already went through alot of emotional stress , he should've have been the one to succeed in the play and ruth should have died.
All and all this play was a good one and it had some life learned lessons in there. Never let anyone come between your family and also follow your dreams no matter the situation. You only live life once so live it to the fullest.
