1. My full name is Maria and when I was little people made fun of my name by either singing “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria” from The Sound of Music or “Maria” from West Side Story. Richard Beymer sings this love song so beautifully and I love that everything is colored purple in this scene: The sky, the street, Tony, the lights in the tenement windows, the basketball court–all violet. And the green, coming out of the sides of buildings and the city ground like grass or forest. This scene is like the color scheme of my book, Like Someone In Love, where the place is green (France) and the person is purple (me).
