Churchill and Brecht

As I continued reading Cloud 9, I kind of correlated similarities between Brecht's style of writing and Churchill's quirky story telling. I feel that due to Churchill's utilization of characters being played by the opposite sex, race, etc. the reader doesn't really know how to connect to the piece. It somewhat creates a barrier between reality and the fantasy that is within Cloud 9.

I realize that it is not exactly the same as Brechtian acting but it still utilizes some similarities. Along with that, I find it interesting the provoking thought process that Cloud 9 has provided me with. It really is a question of, "What is Cloud 9." How do you know what Cloud 9 is? You wouldn't realize that that was the best part of your life until you were done with life. This is also represented through the song on page 77. "And it's upside down when you reach Cloud 9." This truly makes me wonder what occurs when you hit Cloud 9. Should it be something that completely changes your life and affects every single thing that you know? It really just provokes me to wonder the process behind that.
