"Comparative between Colored Girls and Out of Our Father's House"

            In the plays Colored Girls and Out of Our Fathers house are two plays that have similarities, but at the same time have differences. The setting in Colored Girls was a lot different from Out of Our Fathers House. In Colored Girls the setting happened in lots of different places. The setting was at a park, a girl’s house, and in my opinion the setting was in an urban part of the world.

            As I watched both of these plays I noticed a huge difference in the image. In Colored Girls all of the actors were African American, compared to Out of Our Fathers house, the characters were white. Though a lot of differences caught my attention I noticed a huge similarity among all of the characters. I noticed as the actors talked, they explained the struggles they been through throughout their lived. These struggles consisted of these women overcoming hardships and moving past them. In Out of Our Fathers house I watched the different struggles that the ladies been through in their lives. One of the ladies in this play told a story about how her children died from fever. This caught my attention because a women in Colored Girls lost her children, but not from fever. Her children were thrown off of the balcony of her house which took their lives. Even though these two women lost the lives of their precious children I noticed a similarity between the two. They both felt the same pain in their hearts that they wouldn't have forever because they would no longer be able to see their children grow up in front of their eyes.

            Colored Girls was in a completely different time period. Colored Girls took place in the 1970s. Since Colored Girls took place in the 1970s I noticed the style of clothing was completely different from what the girls wore in Out of Our Fathers House. In Colored Girls the clothes looked a lot more modern than in Out of Our Fathers house which took place in the early 1900s, so their clothes appeared to be a lot older   and Out of Our Fathers lives took place in the early 1900s. Both of these plays were incredible to watch and were very enjoyable to see.
