Persuasive Monologue

At the moment, I was shocked when Ms. Clark told me that Jerry had no mother nor skates, not because I heard her doltish voice. I was shocked at that fact that a responsible and caring little twelve years old boy lied to me. After a while, I wonder why Jerry lied. One thought I had in mind was that Jerry didn't want to get adopted. I wanted to ask why he lied. Although, I wasn't sure if Jerry wanted to talk about it.

The next day I went outside to see the pomegranate pink sunset. I glanced to my left and I thought I saw a little girl. She was was wearing a filthy stripe shirt, untidy skinny jeans, and some torn Skechers. She looked like she was a caring but also a savage little girl. At that moment, I realized she was friends with Jerry.

I asked her to come and sit next to me so we can see the sunset together. When we were done looking at the sunset I asked if she seen Jerry. I was about to asked her when suddenly Jerry appeared.

At that very moment, I knew that was my chance to ask Jerry why he lied. So I asked the little girl if she can leave us alone. Once a she left I asked Jerry why did he invent that he had a mother and skates. Once I was done asking I saw that the first tear break free. I gave a him a tight hug and told him not to cry. Right after, he started crying, his bottom lips quivered exactly the same as a baby. Immediately, I felt heartbroken. In the meantime, he told me why he lied. He told me he lied to me about him having a mother in Manville because since day one at the orphanage he wanted as mother. A mother that will spoil him with love. A mother that would care for him. All he wanted besides some skates was a mother.

Eventually, the next day I asked Jerry if he would accept me as his mother. When I asked Jerry started shedding into tears of happiness. He replies with a charming smile “yes”. So, that afternoon we walked to the orphanage to sign the adoption papers. Once we got there we followed up with the process. When we were done we walked to my cabin. We stayed at the cabin for some days. Then we left.
