The Portrayal of the Contemporary Society in Talking Heads We have been studying three different monologues written by Alan Bennett. They are 'Her Big Chance' involving Lesley an actress, 'Bed Among the Lentils' with Susan, a vicars wife and 'A Chip in the Sugar' including Graham who still lives with his mother.

“Merlin, Merlin, come look,” an excited Arthur exclaimed. “I’m coming,” Merlin huffed, as he walked up the steep hill overlooking the village. Merlin and Arthur were looking upon the glorious jousts that were occurring just below them. Arthur, being the curious young fellow he was, wanted to see how the knights fought and a reluctant Merlin obliged. “They have such advanced weaponry; I wish I could hold such an expensive lance like that one knight has!” A grim look passed on Arthur’s face. “But

To me Jet Black Heart is an escape from the troubles in my world and from what is killing me on the inside. The song makes feel somewhat at peace and that it's alright to not to be alright.

Alright, alright, alright, I know triathlon’s a weird sport, you don’t need to tell me twice.

She's always so upright and proper, but today she's a total mess. I hope she's alright.. I should focus on my essay. This thing is due tomorrow and I haven't written anything. Go talk to her. "What?"
