    A monologue is a long, uninterrupted speech from actor to the audience. They can be limited as there is only one character so the writer needs to think about how the character will connect with the audience. There are long intense periods of just listening to a character ramble on thus the audience have to imagine other characters and relationships rather than see them. This can make it very difficult to bring the character to life because the monologue can become very draining, there are no other characters to act towards or talk to and there are not many stage directions to make the character lively which is why Bennett uses dramatic devices to bring the character of Doris to life.…

    The Wizard of Oz is a piece of American culture that children have been taking in since the early 20th century. L. Frank Baum first introduced The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900, and would write 13 sequel novels after its publication. In 1939, MGM released The Wizard of Oz in technicolor to American audiences. The film exploded, and the popularity of The Wizard of Oz is still present in society today. With a large chunk of American youth being touched by the story created by Baum, it is interesting to look at the messages from the novel and see if they still apply in today’s society. I argue that even though The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published well over a century ago it is still a useful tool for children in modern society. Baum effectively communicate the hardships of struggling through confidence issues which is something that every growing human will face.…
