The Negative Usually Turns to Positive

        When Annelle’s husband left her, she decided that she had to look for a job in order to support herself.  The first place she looked, she got a job as a hairdresser.  Becoming a hairdresser for Truvee lead up to Annelle finding true happiness, she found a man that appreciated her, and her relationship with Christ. Truvee (the owner of the hair salon) introduced Annelle to Shelby who was getting married.  Annelle met her new husband at Shelby’s wedding.  If Annelle’s husband never left her she wouldn’t have  been able to evolve into the wonderful person that she was by the end of the play.  Annelle’s difficult situation ended with a very positive outcome.

        Ousier was a psychotic woman that drove everyone crazy.  People loved to patronize her just as often.  There was no one better at driving her crazy than Shelby’s father. She absolutely hated Shelby’s father.  He was constantly finding ways to make her mad.  Shelby’s mother had a transplant which gave her kidney to Shelby. Ousier was the first perosn to offer help to Shelby’s dad while his wife and daughter went in the hospital.  The surgerybroke the hostile barrier between OUiser and him and allowed her to realize how much she really cared for him and his family.        The end of this play was very emotional.  The kidney transplant failed, and Shelby eventually died.  Her death was hard on everyone, especially her mother.  She did not understand why her daughter had to die before she did.  She felt that the mother was always supposed to die before the daughter.  Although it was a very difficult time for everyone it ended up being a very positive experience.  Shelby’s death allowed the woman to realize how precious life can really be.  Her death also made them realize how much the friendships they shared with one another really influenced their lives.

        Throughout the play the negative aspects in all the women’s lives eventually evolved into the positive points.  People need to remember that when they are experiences difficult times, are they will soon be followed by something positive. This play was a perfect example of this theme.
