"Sonia Flew"

Paper Summary:

This paper first describes the life of Melinda Lopez, author of the play "Sonia Flew". The paper then discusses the plot of the play and the parallels between the main protagonist and the author's life. The paper discusses the main conflict of the story, which is Sonia's inability to live down her memory of being brought to America in the 1961 airlift from Cuba, nicknamed, "Operation Peter Pan." The paper takes a critical stance towards the play and pans it as unmemorable, with very little to say.

From the Paper:

"Sonia did well enough with her share of the American dream and was successful on the surface while harboring a painful secret. Well, who doesn't have a few bad memories they would just as soon jettison? She seems to have a good life, a loving husband and two healthy children, a career and a beautiful home. But at last we discover, oh my, she is a child of Operation Peter Pan. She has never managed to put this behind her and get on with her life."
