Questions 5-8 Answer the following questions about drama.

5. What is the main difference between reading a play and reading a short story?  

I agree that plays are meant to be watched; however, when you are seeing a play, you are seeing the director and actors' interpretation of the authors words, so it's a good idea to read a play before you see it.  

When you read a play, it's very important to read ALL of the stage directions and descriptions because it's sort of like the narration in a book. Without it you don't know where you are, what people are doing as they speak, what the area looks like, etc. If you skip stage directions, that's like only reading the dialog in a novel; the story doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Reading a short story, you have more ways to learn about the characters, plot, setting, etc than you do reading a play because of the narration.

6. How do plays create context?  [I don't have an answer for that.]

7. Many believe drama is the literary form.  [Not sure how to answer.]

8. For many centuries, drama focused on  themes. {True.}

Side Note:

I hope this helped you in some or any way.

- the mistakes that have been done in the past will repeat themselves

- you will trust all the wrong people

i think the correct answer would be adjustments in life roles.  this causes for one to adjust or change totally his/her career or lifestyle since the present is not beneficial to the life role he is at. for instance, you became a mother you would of course stop going to malls and enjoying life outside. you would be staying at home taking care of your child.
