Monologue of Edward Lyons
Edward skips in on stage.
Oh dear! I can't believe what I just did, it was so hilarious, I hope
Mickey's proud of me, well he should be but I wonder why he didn't do
anything.
We went to the park today me and Mickey and this girl called Linda,
whom Mickey assured me was okay. Mickey had brought along an air rifle
so that we could try and shoot Peter Pan's thing off. It was great
fun, neither me or Mickey managed to because Linda had distracted us
so it wasn't really fair when she hit him. I was extremely jealous
because generally boys are supposed to be better. Well Mickey didn't
feel like playing anymore so he took the gun away from us. I was
beginning to get slightly bored, I sat down on the patchy grass whilst
waiting for Linda and Mickey to think of a game.
With this line Edward sits down at the front of the stage.
After a few minutes Linda suggested that we throw stones through some
persons
window.
He stand up quickly as to show his fear in an exaggerated movement.
I was terribly scared that we might get caught. Well Linda noticed
that I was afraid so I decided to do it anyway, I didn't want them to
think less of me. Well right as we were about to throw the stones a
policeman comes up behind us and asks what we were doing. I looked at
Mickey and Linda and well I was extremely scared but energetic at the
same time. I wanted to make them both proud of me especially Mickey
because he does such wonderful things. So I answered 'waiting for the
ninety two bus' with this I had burst out laughing, I thought it was
extremely funny and I wasn't aware of anything else going on around me
at that moment. Then both Mickey and Linda told the policeman that
they were not with me, I didn't understand this at first I thought

In the novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hawthorne portrays a society filled with betrayel, secrecie, and sinners. The people of society do not show their true colors and hide their true intentions. Dimmsdale, Chillingsworth and Hester all have fallen to sin, however they all believe they are not the worse sinner and try to seek justice for themselves.
I knew it would happen. As much as I tried to stay optimistic, to put off my feelings of suspicion to an old man's negativity, I knew that this case would cost me something more than just my reputation in the town and that didn't even really matter. In Maycomb, reputation is a day by day concept. Sure, we have more than enough of our fair share of immovable gossipers, and drama kings and queens looking for a story to spread. But in everyone's own mind, if you did something stupid, immoral, or just mildly humorous or entertaining, it was the talk of the town and you were judged terribly for a few days, a few weeks tops. Then the whispers, and glances faded to conversations over coffee, and deep inside jokes. My reputation didn't bother me one bit.
Studying Two Alan Bennett Monologues Introduction A monologue is a play with a single performer. The word monologue is of Greek origin and comes from mono-logos. Mono means 'word of one'. person' and logos means 'voice' hence monologue, 'one voice'. Alan Bennett's work is impressive and his understanding of characterization is second to none.
Often times when we think about the dramatic monologue the thing that might come to mind are monologues that are often seen in Shakespeare’s work whether that be Hamlet’s monologue To Be or Not to Be. Or the dramatic monologue that is echoed in Romeo and Juliet when Juliet cries out, Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore Art Thou Romeo? The dramatic monologue is defined as a type of poem where the speaker is talking directly to a person or addressing another person. Normally in these types of works the speaker speaks alone which is known as a one-way conversation. The setting is typically dramatic, in the sense that they have a theatrical feel to them, but also its intended to be read to an audience.
A deep, unending, and unfulfilled thirst for adventure and exploration arose when I read this quote from Edward Abbey. Untamed and wild, nature possesses exquisite beauty and wonders that even the wildest imagination could not conceive. Abbey’s quote captures this untamed beauty almost perfectly in the form of words. While nature contains such wonders, it is not always willing to immediately yield its secrets. Nevertheless, persistence and effort are key when it comes to discovering the magnificence of Mother Nature, as the hardest trails are sure to bear the sweetest rewards.

Gasping. Fresh air fills your chest. Scaldingly cold. Opening your eyes, a blinding white room occupies your vision. Again. A profluent voice issues into your head, “You have been revived by your loving government. You have experienced a near death experience. Please remember than intentional deletion is not permitted in Australia. If you wish to be deleted, please present your application to a local branch.” Slowly, you heave your new body off a coroner’s table. The world sways slightly. Fixer drugs do that to you. Wandering through a hallway filled with debris, you reach the high arcing front door. Barely impressive anymore, you pass under the crumbling masonry without a second glance. On the street, the soft cascades of a thousand footfalls
Setting: Begins in a flat in London then proceeds to a manor house in the countryside in the late 1800's.
This chat was interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Algernon's friend, Ernest Worthing Worthing was pleased to hear that Lady Bracknell - and her beautiful daughter Gwendolen - would be appearing for tea. But Algernon warned, "I am afraid Aunt Augusta won't quite approve of your bein here." Mildly insulted, Ernest demanded to know why. "My dear fellow," Algernon answered, "the way you flirt with Gwendolen is perfectly disgraceful. It is almost as bad as the way Gwendolen flirts with you." At this point Worthing announced that he intended to propose marriage to Gwendolen, but was taken aback by Algernon's response: "I don't give my consent." Worthing, would first have to explain a certain "Cecily" in his life. As evidence of this relationship, he produced a cigarette case left behind by Worthing on an earlier visit - devotedly inscribed from "Cecily" to her loving "Uncle Jack."

Lamott explains how a writer should develop his or her character. I like what she said in this chapter “each character has an emotional acre. You want to discover what this acre looks like, so from there forward you know what you are working with.” I’m not sure if this might help use with our research paper, but I found what she said helpful if I do write something involving characters. Plot is focus on growing out your character. I was taught that plot was the main part of your story so to read that you should focus on your character’s development more than the actual story is a little confusing, but I understand the point Lamott is making. The development of the character shapes and progresses the story. In Dialogue, Lamott said “You’re not
So that was one side of my family that did not like me due to the color of my skin and it did upset me. This made it even harder for me to be myself when it came to my father’s dad’s side of the family because they were really religious and did not agree with someone being LGBT, or so I thought. I came up with that explanation on my own based off of the time period that they were raised and the fact that they grew up in a church. So I was nervous to tell them that I am a lesbian because of their backgrounds. I should have never done that because I never tried to figure out their true thoughts towards that subject matter. I gave into the way that society was and their beliefs that they put into place, instead of figuring out my own families beliefs. This made me become the part of society that I did not like and that is, the part that passes judgment on people based off of the time that they grew up in and the beliefs that were in
