WATER BY THE SPOONFUL

First of all, I just want to say that I LOVED reading this play. I think it's phenomenal, and I would really like to see it performed.

There are quite a few sections in which the two stories begin to overlap or interact. I think the biggest example is when Yaz takes over the website. Yaz and Elliot pretty much always stay outside of the world of the chatroom. When Odessa is unable to contribute to the website after her relapse, Yaz takes over as administrator. I think that for the unifying principle and Hudes' story, this scene is important because it demonstrates what Yaz and Elliot have learned from their experiences. They have to think about how they affect others with their own actions. The events in Water by the Spoonful lead both of them to broaden their horizons and broaden their social interactions for the greater good. I think the central motif of the play is providing for others, so the scene with Yaz in the chatroom is really crucial to showing that.
