Water By The Spoonful

One example of the realities of the play intermixing would be the very first scene that foreshadowed what would be happening in the play, and that scene would the one when Elliot is taking a costumer's order via phone at his job at Subway. While he's taking the order of sandwiches, Ghost decides it wants to remind him of that sentence that he had heard while in war. The translation he had gotten in the previous scene pertained to asking for a passport. Not only did Ghost pop up in that scene, but also, in one of the earlier scenes in the chat room where Ghost decides to recite the same sentence while the addicts are talking. I'm assuming that Hudes put that in the script to use that voice as an overall theme of a haunted past. Especially the addicts, every character has something going on in their life that has caused major consequences in their present lives due to the actions they made in the past. Because, that voice represents a haunted memory, especially that of our discharged soldier, Hudes uses Ghost as an advantage to show the audience that this voice is a link in the plot and foreshadows what's to come in the play.
