**Ryan Zimmerman** What is the purpose of adding the encounter of sandy Jenkins. Did Jenkins really help Douglass?

__The Glass Menagerie__ The Paradise Dance Hall is mentioned several times. How does the Dance Hall function as a symbol in the movie?

The Paradise Dance Hall apears to be a form of a get- away from everyday life, and help subside stress in the young peoples lives. The young people at the Paradise Dance Hall waltz under the short lived illusion created by a glass ball, a sign of escaping the rough times in there lifes for a few hours. Which is another version of Laura's glass animals and symbol of uniqueness and creativity.

Ryan- What do you mean by short-lived illusion? Do you feel that the music from the hall creates some kind of commentary on the movie/ scene at hand? Maybe give some DQs from the script. Also, how is this unique? -TZ
 * Your response made me think about it, which was interesting because Laura was in her own little world, like when she played the records and her glass animals were unique and it seemed as if she was living in a fantacy and not reality. She was constantly daising off, or better yet dreaming all the time. -KB
