Creative Story Presentation Help?

Question

For my english class everyone was assigned a short story from Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Welcome to the Monkey House". My story is called "Who Am I This Time?", it's about this man in a small town who is always the lead in the community play and always takes to the character he plays but then always goes back to being the shy little clerk as soon as the curtain falls. His leading lady falls in love with his character (not actually him) and they get married and base the relationship on differerent plays everyday. It is told through the prespective of the director and the last line is the wife asking "who are we ths time?". I just need suggstions on a creative way to give a 4-7 minute presentation discussing the theme and relevance of the story. Preferably something that can include the interaction of the class, and is entertaining.

Answer 1

Interesting take! I do like it.

Perhaps use the audience members as characters they are portraying?

Answer 2

the story that you were assigned was about how someone can only express themselves at a certin hobby or something that lets them be truley who they are. so when the hobby that lets them be who they are ends, they suddenly dont realize how to act. so as he was acting he probebly feel into his charecter and as he fell he forgot who he was. so when she fell in love with him she feel in love with the person on stage so she nenver really got to know who he was. so when she asked who are we this time, she meant it as a way where they could not act out charecters anymore and didnt know what to do so she didnt know how to act with him. you could mention that the story was an example of how no matter what you get lost in in life, theres always and end to it unless you find yourself at the end. so ask each person in your class who they truley are and the ones that dont have an awnser are goinng to be asking that question as well. so you could represent the story by the examples of the people that cannot anwser
