Wilson settled into nibbling on French fries, but when he took the first big bite of burger, he spit it out, making a mess on the table. Lisa realized the burger had a pickle on it, and Wilson absolutely hated pickles. Even though she scraped every bit of the pickle off the bun, he refused to eat another bite, and began to cry again. Lisa fed him French fries, hoping to distract him. Finally, he ate a few, munched on the tomatoes on the side of the plate, and his eyes began to droop. By the time Lisa really got to taste her salad, she discovered she wasn't that hungry any more. She picked listlessly at the greens while Wilson curled up on the seat beside her, sucking his thumb. Finally, Lisa had enough, and asked for the check. It seemed the entire restaurant breathed a sigh of relief when she carried Wilson out the door.
Inside the car, Lisa buckled Wilson into his safety seat, and then crawled behind the wheel. She sat there for a moment, gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles, tears pouring down her cheeks. Was she a bad mother?

Yet, the way the characters are speaking and performing their roles helps the individual to understand the setting and background of what is occurring.
However, behavioral skills training that incorporated active learning approaches, such as role playing, were found to result in children that were significantly more likely to demonstrate the proper safety skills in role playing and in situ assessments than children who did not receive this behavior skills training. Furthermore, in situ, role playing training was found to enhance the safety skill development of both the educational and behavior skills training

According to Flynn (2004), rehearsals and performances of CBRT scripts can help increase students' abilities to read the text fluently. "Fluent readers read aloud smoothly and with expression. They recognize words and understand them at the same time. Reading educators emphasize the importance of fluency -- the ability to read a text accurately and with the appropriate speed. Because there is a close relationship between fluency and comprehension, fluent readers
Still, the thwarted desires of Emily have more of a sense of inevitability, and thus seem less tragic than the willed and possibly preventable actions of the heroines of the "Doll's House" and "Trifles." However, perhaps the least functional and most distorted family is the family without a father at the helm at all, that of "The Glass Menagerie," where Tom functions as the breadwinner and quasi-husband to this mother
Drama Death of a Salesman -- comparison between the play and a 1985 TV rendering of the play, starring Dustin Hoffman The tragedy of Willie Loman in the play by Arthur Miller seems like a man who wants to be great, yet falls to a tragic and small end.
