Question

And the Soul Shall Dance is described as a very realistic play due to the details and focus on objects by playwright, Wakako Yamauchi. What are three of these details and objects

Answer 1

In his play, Cherry Orchard, Anton Chekhov, an upper-class family, dissipated their money away and lost a house to their old peasants. In Death of the Salesman by Arthur Miller, he portrayed a common man's struggle with American illusion. So Realism has always been used to highlight the psychological issues, the struggle of a common man, and other social issues.

Step-by-step explanation:

In The Soul Shall Dance, Wakako Yamauchi used three significant ways to portray Realism. This play inspected the life of two Japanese families living their lives in California.

The sporadic view of the stage gave us an idea about the immigrants' economic circumstances—for example, a phonograph, some towels, a bottle of sake, and a chiles plate.

The bottle of sake made Oka more outspoken and vibrant to express her problems. Moreover, she was exposing her wills to the reunion with Kiyoko.

Money that has been saved by Emiko to return to Japan is another realistic illustration object. However, Oka took that money to lavish her daughter's way of life but side by side, hiding it from his wife; otherwise, she would never be eager to return to Japan.

Both families left their homeland in the quest for better living but ended up living a miserable life in which they have to struggle a lot and eventually lost their identities.

Answer 2

"And the Soul Shall Dance" by Wakako Yamauchi

Details were provided about these three objects:

1) Oka's Horse: Oka wanted to sell it to enable him bring his daughter, Masako, back from Japan. He eventually sold it. And even pleaded with Murata to occasionally have his own horse for transport.

2) Emiko's Kimonos: Emiko was desperate to see the kimonos to enable her buy a ticket to return to Japan where she would live her life freely without racial discrimination prevalent in the U.S.

3) Japanese Sake: In America, the Japanese were addicted to their local brew, the sake. And they would carry it out, even as guests. The sake is an alcoholic wine made by fermenting polished rice. They were always intoxicated by the wine.

Step-by-step explanation:

"And The Soul Shall Dance" was a 1977 first full-length play by Wakako Yamauchi. The play narrated the story of a young Japanese American girl, Masako and her parents as they struggled to live in a racially-biased America during The Great Depression. "And The Soul Shall Dance" shows the many issues facing Japanese Americans in America such as assimilation, immigration, social, economic and political status, and survival.
