Draft An Essay Highlighting" Transforming Stories"

Introduction (150 words)

Linguistic worlds relates to education, the way people talk, and the way people write. "Educating Rita" is a play by Willy Russell that is about the journey of Rita.

The play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw tells the story of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, who transforms under the guidance of Professor Henry Higgins. Eliza seeks to elevate her social status through language study, highlighting the complexities of identity, cultural, and social expectations.

Para One: 

• At the start of educating Rita, her linguistic ability is low, and she doesn’t talk proper, she doesn’t talk in posh English. Frank her teacher, has high linguistic ability – he is a professor, he reads, he is well read. Linguistic worlds: education is a linguistic world. High education, poor education – two linguistic worlds
• Quotes and evidence that support each paragraph.

Discuss the beginning of each play.

• Eliza (in the beginning of Pygmalion, eliza Doolittle is found with low linguistic ability. Talk about how she looks and talks. Quote. Talk about how she dresses poorly, but as well as she can be.
• Rita: how she talks, talks about desiring to be in high education and how they desire to be a part of higher linguistic ability and to be a part of the educated world.

Eliza Doolittle’s situation in Pygmalion: what world has she come from, and where does she end up? How does she express her exasperation that she no longer 'fits in' with her old world, nor in her new world? Go into detail about Eliza's progression through the story. She thinks that learning to speak 'proper' will elevate her to a job in a flower shop, only to discover instead that her new 'status'--brought about through her voice training and etiquette training, makes her qualified for little else than to marry a middle-class man and to not work anywhere. What does Eliza decide to do at the end of the play?

In the mists/middle of their “education”

• When Rita is right in the thick of it, when she discusses about a book that she’s read with frank – or when she discusses quite liberally with him about an intellectual text or a book he’s read or an assignment he’s given Rita.
• Eliza – the scene when she’s at the Eynsford hill house and how she’s doing her best to sound stuff. Higgins shows her off to this high-class family,
• The Eynsford Hills represent the world that Eliza aspires to join, and her interactions with them contribute to her transformation and the challenges she faces in fitting into this new social environment.
• Talk about how they’ve improved and moved up in linguistic ability and social class.
• Improving their education

P3 (300 words)

• The end of their journey
• Rita – how she has a new job and talks to the other students, how she is at a point she’s happy with
• Eliza says she isn’t higher class enough and how she asks what she is supposed to do now that Higgins has finished his training. How she feels, and how she is of higher class and higher linguistic ability – but not much has changed to how it was at the start. It has improved but not to the point where some people would expect.

Para 3: 

Conclude your discussion with a wider look at how Eliza's and Rita's journeys from their 'working class’ to 'middle class' character traits are so similar to one another's, and discuss, too, how their stories diverge/differ: i.e. does Rita have more options than Eliza?
