Speak Andy Evans Monologue
Intro - My character is from the book Speak and I choose to start my monologue a year after the story ended when Melinda (the character I will be portraying) has recovered from the trauma she endured through 8th and 9th grade.
Monologue:
Puts on the hoodie
Last year was rough, to say the least, I went through a lot, I all my friends in one night. That night, that one dreadful, horrible night. That night back in eighth grade, I was sexually assaulted by a high school student named Andy Evans. The memory of that night just keeps circling in my mind; I could not stop thinking about it, it affected my grades, my social life and even my relationship with my parents. It felt like he was taking over my entire life, I felt so helpless. There was drinking
involved that night so, I felt like everything was my fault, I felt like I could not catch a break. Everything seemed like it did not matter anymore. Naturally, I fell into a really bad depression because of him. He was and still is a monster who haunts my dreams but. takes off the hoodie
I’m here, I’m alive and I overcame everything, my depression, the trauma I braved. I came out on the other side of the tunnel, and I am finally happy! When I told everyone about him it felt like a weight lifted from my chest, I was free, I am free, I can speak my mind, I can take part in activities that make me happy. But of course, he is still there, in the corner of my mind, just waiting, waiting to take everything away from me. looks at the hoodie
He is like me, well, the old me. He’s the one wearing the hoodie now, in the corner of the room, He is the one who sits alone at lunch because he has no friends, He is the one who can’t speak, and I am the one who did that to him, I spoke, so he cannot. But it’s not enough, it hard to see him every day, but I have to deal with it. It’s not fair, I don’t want to see him in school, I want to see him locked up somewhere far away, but he is here, haunting my dreams, seeing him feels like a step back in my life. He is just a constant reminder of that year.
