I enjoyed reading the Glass Menagerie and have read it before in high school and have seen the play in Boston a few years ago. I like that the main female character of the play is different from typical characters because many times they have characters who are outgoing and strong willed, but Laura is the opposite because she is very shy and reclusive. It is nice to see that a story can be written about a handicapped character like Laura because I am sure many people could relate to her in the fact the fact that I think that there are many people in the world with small handicaps like Laura and this story shows these people that they should not let their handicaps take over their lives. Many people who are handicapped have learned to cope and have done some amazing things. President Theodore Roosevelt is a strong example of this because he had a severe case of polio and he was unable to walk and doctors told him he was going to be bed ridden for the rest of his life. He decided that he would overcome this handicap and he accomplished many great things in his life time. The moral of his story and Laura's story is that it can be done as long as you try and put yourself out there.
