Voysey Inheritance

I did not enjoy the play all too much. My reasoning behind this is that i thought it was too much dialogue and it didn't keep me all that interested. i think being informed earlier and knowing more about the play and its background would have helped tremendously. the storyline i thought was interesting and the characters portrayed the story very well. although it was hard to get to know the characters and know what their relation was to Edward. i think the play was very relevant because the same things go on today just with higher stakes, more people, and more money. it might have been a little over 100 years ago but we were still able to easily connect with what was going on, just in a different time period is all.
The discussion of the play AT SCHOOL was good because we all got to share our opinions and were able to reflect on what had occurred. i think that Ponzi schemes are very interesting. they are something that is going on today, yet so many people are oblivious to it even being out there. they may think "well it wont happen to me" or "i would know if i was part of a scheme such as that." the thing is, they don't know how dangerous, detrimental, and common they really are.
i think that Ponzi schemes start like any other type of "ripping people off" type of order starts: with "smart" people who somehow get involved with someone else who got involved with someone else and the cycle keeps going.
