    Ride On The Internal Monologue

    I haven't had the opportunity to read the book though I've wanted to after seeing the movie. It seems like a very violent descent into insanity in the movie, cut by pieces of harsh violence and yuppie culture. What I'd be curious of figuring out would be the entire internal monologue. Most of the movie rides on his monologue and very little on what people say or think as if they are just props in his life.…

    Stuyvesant: Monologue Analysis

    For the set I think that it should look like a school, because in the students stories the main point is focused around the school. Either they were at school when the plane crashed into the World Trade Center or they talked about the school Brooklyn Tech that they had to go to for a while while it was unsafe to go to Stuyvesant. In the script it said that the actors don’t leave the stage at all. It would be cool if they were all sitting in a classroom or in a courtyard, like we have at DSA. For each character’s monologue, there should be a single spotlight shining down on them, I think that would be really cool. For the costumes, each character’s appearance is described right before their monologue. For example, for the character Jennifer Suri, who is an assistant principal and Social Studies teacher at Stuyvesant, they describe her as “thin, with long red hair... pulled back with a barrette... She wears a blouse, a long flowing skirt, and heels you can hear clicking quickly down the hallway from several rooms away” (pg 199)…

    Sphinx Monologue

    Today I pulled into Thebes and ran into the great Sphinx. The sphinx was terrorizing the town with her riddle. If I could only answer her riddle, “What is the creature that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three in the evening?” I was able to answer the riddle that nobody else could. The sphinx went over the cliff, therefore killing her. Today I became the King of Thebes. And also I married an attractive woman. What a bizarre way of ending a year that started out with me being a killer! Just so happened their king mysteriously disappeared, so the townspeople decided to show me their gratitude by giving me the throne. They also gave me their queens’ hand in marriage, which makes me the King of Thebes. Cool, right? Who…

    Fab Monologue

    Now that I have outgrown the after school program, I am always able to come back and have adult like conversations with Fab and reminisce one the good and bad moments with Fab that have made me who I am today. We both think back to her first week here when as she tried to establish herself as a RAD even though the previous RAD told her that my generation was a handful. We can always get a good laugh reminiscing on every time Fab kicked one of us out of after school. Once, she kicked my brother out because she thought he threw something at her with no questions asked. She simply gave him the boot. She has even kicked me out for simply being in her personal space, but my friends and I are still able to laugh about the old strict Fab. She explains…

    Walking Out Monologue

    The editing and use of the montage effectively displays the theme of aging by carefully crafting over sixty years of life into a short four minute clip. It incorporates three stages of the couple’s life from newlywed, to middle age, then to their elderly years. A repetition of certain scenes and locations are used to show the change in time and also demonstrates the stark contrast of their youth to older years. The most significant recurring image exhibited is the scene of Carl and Ellie walking up a hill to go on a picnic date. In the first hill scene, Ellie is seen in the lead, at the top of the hill while Carl slowly trails behind her. The day is young; the sun in full brilliance and a happy atmosphere is laid out. She is healthy, youthful…

    High Strung Monologue

    Not so long ago, I was privileged to watch a fantastic film directed by Michael Damian called High Strung. As I was enthralled with immensely diverse music and dance, one of the characters stood out rather prominently to me--April. She was the villain, but there was no denying her astounding abilities as a dancer. Upon further investigation, I discovered that she was played by the vivacous and talented Anabel Kutay. Recently, I had the opportunity to find out a bit more about this lovely young lady and her extraordinary journey that culminated with her being featured in one of the foremost music and dance films of all time.…

    Female Monologues

    Frankenstein - I am the cousin of the unhappy child who was murdered, or rather his sister, for I was educated by, and have lived with his parents ever since and even long before his birth. It may, therefore, be judged indecent in me to come forward on this occasion. But when I see a fellow-creature about to perish through the cowardice of her pretended friends, I wish to be allowed to speak, that I may say what I know of her character. I am well acquainted with the accused. I have lived in the same house with her, at one time for five and at another for nearly two years. During all that period she appeared to me the most amiable and benevolent of human creatures. She nursed Madame Frankenstein, my aunt, in her last illness, with the greatest affection and care. And afterward attended her own mother during a tedious illness, in a manner that excited the admiration of all who knew her, after which she again lived in my uncle's house, where she was beloved by all the family. She was warmly attached to the child who is now dead,…

    The Secret Monologue

    He looks dead. At least as close to dead that you could possibly get while still living. His face is sunken in and he looks three times his age. He’s deathly pale with a tint of yellow that always seems to come with sickness. All the muscle seems to have disappeared off his body, leaving behind skin and bones that could be mistaken for toothpicks. Photos line the wall of a star hockey player, and a high school track record setter along with numerous ‘Get better soon!’ cards. It’s odd to see that the man immobile in bed is one in the same with the healthy individual in the photos.…

    How To Write A Monologue Of Charlie

    Today I was talking to Charlie, he said something that made me so sad. These two men named Joe and Frank make fun of Charlie and he actually thinks they are his “friends”! I can't believe that someone could be that sick. If they actually got to know him they would know that he is sweet and caring and lovable. The other day Joe and Frank invited Charlie to meet up at the local bar, Muggsy’s. They told Charlie to buy newspaper and a coffee from them, when he came back they was no one there. Joe and Frank ditched him! How rude! Even worst that ditching him, they beat him up till’ he was black n blue. Why would someone do that. Why would someone treat him like an unwanted animal.…
