Question

The course that this assignment is for called: Arts & Rights. It is similar to the assignment I posted last. However, in this case, I have finished doing the assignment and the professor would like me to "dig deeper" in the text. I will provide you with some helpful links of the book. But if you can please edit it and "dig deeper" that would be helpful. My focus in this reflection was on PROSTITUTION and the title of the book. The first link is the most helpful as you can read some of the play.1.http://www.horizontheatre.com/pdfs/Ruined.pdf2.http://feministspectator.blogspot.ca/2009/03/ruined-by-lynn-nottage.html3.http://plays.about.com/od/plays/a/ruined.htm4.http://deafwalls.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/hollow-humanitarianism-a-review-of-lynn-nottages-ruined/5.http://dctheatrescene.com/2011/05/03/ruined/This is also a reflection but I have already finished it so you just are required to go over and "dig deeper" within the two topics I have provided.Here is the guidelines once again: Choose a text on the course and to ask yourself how has this text, or this section of a text, made me see something differently, or for the first time? What about the text has done that? Why? Be specific, both in terms of the idea you are discussing, and what in the text you are linking it to.

The play Ruined revolves around the struggle and difficulty that women endured during the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The play is a depiction of the immensurable and violence sufferings that one expects to figure out. Besides, the production site, the bar, which provides catering services to travelling sales representatives, miners, rebel fighters, and military men, sends signals to a reader on what happens to women who work within it. Being exposed to men, women have no option to evade prostitution activities, which according to them are the basis for their well-being. The entire play opens the eyes of the audience and takes the reader towards a new avenue of hope and faith in the midst of smoke that arises from weapons and cries. The war normally forgets about women and focuses on destruction and casualties.
Somewhere in the middle of the play, focus is made about violence on women, impact of war on women, psychological and physical rape, domestic abuse and community rejection. It is argued that Lynn Nottage brings up such topics in her play to allow the audience to think about what happens to few prized women whose bodies for a decade-long, have survived rape and sexual abuse, and are used as weapons of choice. It forces the audience to think widely and critically about the role of women during the time of war. The meaning of the title is astonishing and which forces one to think beyond the occupation of prostitution. It gave prostitution a completely new respect that women deserve, and have been fighting for, many centuries.
Similar to the beliefs of the majority of the population, I believed that prostitution is not forced upon but a choice that women make in order to acquire money easily. Prior to reading the play, I never made an effort to learn or understand what got these women to a profession that is rejected by millions of people. I never understood why women chose to sell their bodies when they could use their talents elsewhere. Unless an individual reads the play, the title holds no deep meaning other than the ruins of the war. Once the characters and their stories are revealed,
