Resilience in Neil Simon’s Lost in Yonkers

"Granny - Please keep your way, Bella, I do not know what you think I like to vote for Bella - Yes, I do, I will, Mom ... It happened to me, Mom ... They happened because they were hoping that they could accomplish it When I was at school, I let the boys touch me ... and I met at the park that boy ... and a movie ... The boys I met in the shop ... When you slept I went downstairs and put them ... not just boys, mothers, and men but someone to contact me.

Neil Simon needs to choose the title of Lost in Yoskers. They are not physically lost, they all know where they are. So why did he choose this title? A family of comic drama is a dysfunctional family. I believe that Neil Simon chose this title to show that this character was lost both spiritually and emotionally. Obviously, all the characters in the drama are confused and lost in some way. A good example is Grandma Kurnitz, she lost her pain and difficulty, Bella lost her way between childhood food and adult food Losy Louie understood the difference between good and evil.

Without Neil Simon it is impossible to imagine the world. If he gives up 22 rewrites, he may not have written Barrefoot, The Odd Couple, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues, Broadway Bound, Yoskers Lost, Plaza Suite, Prisoners of Second Avenue. Almost the same number of script Simon saved all the drafts of his play. Twenty years later, he came out of the roots of success, and he met an old Manila envelope that he lifted in his desk drawer. Inside is 35 pages of the script he wrote in Brooklyn in New York in 1937. It was named Memory of Brighton Beach. "I know this script is a change for me, I will explore myself deeper ... I take it and read it I do not know what to do."

Neil Simon wrote over 30 Broadway plays and musicals, including barefoot in the park, stranger couple, memoir of Brighton Beach, promise, promise, sweet charity, square suite. Zhang; lost to Yonkers; second prisoner; Broadway; last red hot lover, sunny boy, rumors and biloxi blues, and such "goodbye girl", "death murder", "sad boy" "Lost" "City of city" such as movies. He received three Tony Awards, Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Kennedy Center Honor Award and Mark Twain American Humor Award. He has won more Oscar and Tony nominations than other writers. In one season he also did four successful plays at Broadway and became the only live playwright at the New York Theater named after the Neil Simon Theater in 1983.

Born on July 4: Neil Simon, the most representative playwright in America, celebrates his 90th birthday.
