Father Daughter Monologue

786 Words2 Pages

“You are the reason your dad left me Jenni!” these were the words I heard day in and day out. [I never knew what love was.] My mother never showed it to me, I don’t blame her though I wouldn’t love me either. I’ve never had a dad...I don’t think they really count if the run out on you and leave.
I chased boys at school, I thought maybe they could show me love. I had this longing urge to feel it. Everyone always tells me how great it is to be loved, or how they are going on a father daughter date. I just smile and say yea me too. Inside I’m crying but I have to be strong for Jude, my little brother. (-- removed HTML --)
“Jude! Come down it’s time for breakfast!”
“I’m coming Jenni!’
He eats the scrambled eggs that I made him. Most kids moms make them breakfast but not mine, mine just sits in her room drinking away the memories of my dad. We hear her crying through the door but we just act like it’s not there. …show more content…

I love you!”
“Love ya’ too Jenni!”
We repeat this day after day. (Jude often asks me when mama’s gonna get better, and when dad is gonna come home.) I tell him maybe one day...I know this isn’t true though. It’s just me and Jude and Jude and me.
{School is awful, I always get picked on and bullied because of my clothes and how I have to work so I normally just cry in the bathroom.}
“Look it’s that ugly worker girl!”
“Hey you go get me some food will

    Growing up without my dad always within the household was a struggle I did not ask for. He would be with us for a year or two, then leave for a while, but oddly swore that he could buy my love by dangling a dollar sign over my head whenever he’d return. Through my life experiences, I have acquired knowledge through experiences, rather than lectures.

    Furthermore, growing up without a dad leaves a daughter with an opportunity for mistrust to happen, between the daughter and other boys. There is a saying that says, girls who have daddy problems have boy problems. The saying could not be more true. The father is the first relationship a daughter will have with a guy. Therefore, as said by Jocelyn Romero, girls need to be taught by their fathers about men so when they grow up to women they would be able to acquire healthy relationships (qtd. Romero, 2014).

    Life isn't fair, it isn't kind, nor just. In my opinion, many people don't get what they deserve and many people don't deserve what they get. Like me, I don't deserve to be rotting in Azkaban for a crime I didn't commit but here I am. Wasting away, never to have a happy thought again. I'm only twenty and been here since I was 18, I had only been out of school 3 months before I was thrown in here. Sometimes I wish I had died, it's better than living here. I had no trial, no nothing they just assumed I did it and threw me in here to die. I may not notice everything, but I know something is going on. Almost every day some Aurors march past my cell and are taking someone with them. Then 2 days later they come back and return the person and they take someone else and the pattern continues. I have noticed that judging by their steps they go to the far back and are working their way towards the door. My cell is right in front of the door so, whatever they're doing I will be the last to know. Almost everyone comes back except Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy were never brought back. They weren't here long anyway.

    The role of a father is more than just another parent at home (Popenoe, 1996). Having a father, the male biological parent in a child’s life is important because it brings a different type of parenting that cannot be replicated by anyone else (Stanton, 2010). Fathers who are present and active in a child’s life provide great benefits to a developing child (Popenoe, 1996). Having a father brings a different kind of love. The love of the father is more expectant and instrumental, different from the love of a mother (Stanton, as cited in Pruett, 1987).

    It was never a problem growing up without a dad and I never once felt like I lacked anything ever. When I saw kids with their dads getting picked up from school I never lusted after a father. It was never something that I looked down on myself for or felt ashamed of. I never longed for a dad because, like I said, my mother and grandma were my foundations and they were all I needed. My mother never worked and this was also never a problem for me either.

Fathers are sometimes seem as more understanding and laid back and seem to have easier resolutions to their child’s problems. They typically tell the child everything will be okay and to tough it out and send the child on to continue what they were doing.However, sometimes he can be hotheaded and punish you faster than mom. Sometimes men are joked about as being big children, which can sometimes amount to a better relationship between the father and child. A lot of children go to dad for the fun stuff like money or going to a friends house because he will give into their begging and pleading easier than their mother

    When discussing the poetic form of dramatic monologue it is rare that it is not associated with and its usage attributed to the poet Robert Browning. Robert Browning has been considered the master of the dramatic monologue. Although some critics are skeptical of his invention of the form, for dramatic monologue is evidenced in poetry preceding Browning, it is believed that his extensive and varied use of the dramatic monologue has significantly contributed to the form and has had an enormous impact on modern poetry. "The dramatic monologues of Robert Browning represent the most significant use of the form in postromantic poetry" (Preminger and Brogan 799). The dramatic monologue as we understand it today "is a lyric poem in which the speaker addresses a silent listener, revealing himself in the context of a dramatic situation" (Murfin 97). "The character is speaking to an identifiable but silent listener at a dramatic moment in the speaker's life. The circumstances surrounding the conversation, one side which we "hear" as the dramatic monologue, are made by clear implication, and an insight into the character of the speaker may result" (Holman and Harmon 152).
