Major Theme The major theme/lesson of the play is to always put somebody else before you.If you do than you will learn more about yourself in long run. Environment The environment of our scene is a bar and grill on 121st street at 2 a. m. in the morning. Sitting in the bar I can see the smoke from the kitchen as it passes the lights on the ceiling. I can smell the raging aroma of fried food being cooked out back. I can taste the cold, salty, and seasoned French fries as I bite into them rancid of Marcias plate. I can hear the faint jazz music from the jukebox in the corner behind me. I can feel the alter air conditioning coming from the vents as I stand under them when I get warm. CharacterMy character is Edwin Velasquez. Edwin is a super for a mental synthesis on 121st street and has a great relationship with some of his tenants. Edwin dresses incredibly mainstream and boring. He hasnt shaved in 3 months, so his scruff is instead visible and doesnt waste time doing his hair. Edwin loves to eat Yodels with whole milk, and smoke. Edwins not the smartest 32 year old and he had to re-do 2nd grade 3 times. He is a very happy person who has taken on a huge burden that causes him to be on edge almost all of the time. Some people may see this as a bad attitude, but its simply a res ult of always worrying.Edwin has to take care of his little Brother, Pinky, by himself due to the fact that their parents are dead. Pinky is mentally challenged, and it just so happens that its Edwins fault which really weighs down on his shoulders 24/7. He threw a brick through a window after being yelled at by his parents for calling Pinky a retard, and the brick hit Pinky on the head causing permanent damage. Edwins most important relationship is the one with his brother Pinky. Their parents passed away several years ago. Social Services insisted on taking Pinky into custody, but Edwin would not let that happen, so he took full responsibility for Pinky.He feels that he owes it to his parents to be the best possible parental figure he can be for Pinky. Edwins overall need or desire throughout his action is to be certain Pinky is happy and safe at all times. Edwin does extremely well trying to protect Pinky and know exactly where he is at all times, but Pinky makes it incredibly d ifficult to do so. In our scene he does not achieve it because Pinky was out for over 12 hours and did not tell Edwin where he was going to be which worried Edwin to death, but it was truly out of his hands.
