Introduction of the play Beauty by Jane Martin

The play is about two girls whose names are Carla and Bathany. Their personalities and lives are developed by their dialog. The two girls, Carla is a beauty and Bethany in intelligent, have their own troubles. Bathany dreams of turning into a beauty like Carla, unfortunately, the dream comes true by the help of a genie. Then, how the story ends would depend on our imagination.

Carla is so beautiful that she is always the center of men’s attention. She is always busy having telephone calls and going on dates. However, she is not good at studying, she even can’t remember page four when she read page six. On the other hand, Bathany is outstanding in school. She has published short stories and has a job with a $40,000 salary. However, she is less beautiful than Carla. She longs to become a beauty.

In my opinion, the most memorable sentence in the play is that when they exchanged by the genie in the end, they said, “We both have the one thing, the one and only thing everybody wants.” It is a really philosophical expression with the deep meaning, I think.

The play tells us we should cherish our own selves. Everybody is unique and has their own advantages. In this way, God is equal to everyone.

My name FEI

FEI is my first name which named by my father. I was born during China’s Culture Revolution when my parents suffered persecution, so my father gave the name ‘FEI’ to me, which is pronounced like the Chinese character ‘fly’ that means freedom. My father hoped I could fly freely like a bird. My mother also liked the name because she likes all types of animals. She always said to her children that nature is a friend to humanity.

However, in real Chinese Character, ‘FEI’ represents academic and intelligent. My parents hoped I would become a person who would have rich knowledge and think independently. I did it. I like to fly freely in thoughts and I know that it is never too late for people to learn.
