Dramatic Monologue
My father trotted up to the dart game, like he was a big shot. I requested if I could play at least once. He said “sure thing.” As I walked up to the stand with the dart already on the table, I thought I was ready to throw it at the rubbery balloon. I closed my dark brown eyes and squinted very tight at the only balloon I wanted. With my trembling arm I tossed the dart at the balloon, but I “wamm.” I had popped the wrong one. Dad started to play the game, trying to win me the certain fluffy white buffalo. That was the only thing I wanted, and I knew if I didn't get it I would cry, for eternity. I started to pace back and forth behind my dad as if I knew he wouldn't get it. “Popp” I heard for the first time, I peek my head too see what it was, my father had just pooped a balloon, but it was the wrong one, it was for a snake, I don't want a snake, though I don't want to tell my father. …show more content…
“Its for my daughter, my father replied, while he looked back at me and winked. I returned the favor and did a fake wonk right back at him.
I wondered what I had done. Why did I ask for that giant, white, stuffed buffalo? My face had fumed to a bright cherry red. With the salty sweat dripping from my guilty brows. I turn around to look at an enormous crowd, a whole mob of people had stopped by to watch my father do the impossible, which was to win the buffalo. I couldn't tell what I wanted to do, did I want my father too win the buffalo and move on, or did I want too just warn my father and leave the game. The choice was long and hard, but I had decided to go over and talk to him.
“Dad..” I said slowly.
“POPP” The dart had hit

    CRASH. SCREEECH-BANG! Many protesting and angry yells went up into the pale NYC morning sky, caused by what looked like a small, red, and motorized wagon. It looked like this because that was exactly what it was. This “Motor-wagon” was piloted by a young-ish, tall-ish, and mostly bald man named Evan Victor Ite-Laught.…

    Born in the 1950’s the world was recovering from World War II. Being the youngest out of 5 brothers and sisters meant he was the baby. Technology was just getting started. Television came out in the 1950’s, but being born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico electricity was still rare there. But my dad was privileged to live in the biggest house in the city, at the time. “We used candles until I was 8.” My dad smiles as he remembers the times when he would sit the table with his siblings exchanging scary stories. “They would say if you would go out into the woods at night by yourself you would see this devil-like creature that had one horse foot, and a big hat. But since I was the most daring, I went out one night, five blocks away from home, to try to find it but my mother came out and found me and dragged me by my ear all the way home.” “I was raised in a Catholic oriented home, that meant I had to put god first before anything else. And if I was bad I would get a punishment.”…

    Hello, I wanted to send you an email about something that was concerning to me after the game today. Kate came off the field very upset and unfortunately I had two other players with me that I was transporting home so I didn’t get much of a chance to discuss this with her until tonight. She wouldn’t tell me what was wrong right away, but one of the other players told me she was upset because her coach said there were three players that didn’t hustle and just stood there during the game today. Now I have taught for many years and also coached and take everything an 8 year old tells me with a grain of salt.…

    The day was happy at first, but it ended sadly. Me, my cousins and their parents, my grandparents, my family, and my aunt Emily had just come from dinner to an ice cream shop called “The Cone”. Once we’d all ordered and got our ice cream we sat down while my dad and uncle talked, my aunt Lynn told us about their family’s trip to Maine. Once all the kids finished their sweet and cold ice cream we went to the little rides to mess around. The sky was a brilliant orange and pink from the sun setting. It was beautiful. All of the reds and yellows and other colors of the rides shined like a freshly washed car. The first one I went to look at was the “Batman The Animated Series” ride. It was the grey, dull, rocky outside of the Batcave. The only colors…

    We drove everywhere; we drove past my house, past our high school and finally went on this road called Hillcrest Road. This road is known for how small and narrow it is, and its big bumpy hills. We both knew what was about to happened. We were about to have the best time. He got in it, stepped on the gas as hard as he could, and the car speed off. We were screaming with laughter from how fast the car was going, and how much fun it was to feel like we were flying in the air. Finally we made it at the end of the road. I was glad that was over with, because in my head I kept thinking,” please don’t scratch up the car.” He wasn’t done, he asked me, “one more time please?” I gave up arguing with him, and agreed. This time around he put his whole weight on the gas pedal and took off as fast as he could. We were laughing, screaming, and looking at each other as we were flying in the air. There was a moment when the car flew after the hill and…
