Monono Prologue Analysis

Kate Chopin’s The Awakening recounts Edna Pontellier’s journey to self-discovery and independence, in a society where women are supposed to be proper and dependent. In chapter VI of The Awakening, Kate Chopin uses imagery of light and the ocean to describe her awakening and foreshadow the end of Edna’s journey to independence, and ultimately, her death.

When I and George found Lennie I knew deep inside me, that the dream couldn’t continue. It was just like Santa Claus, everyone believes in it because one person keeps the spirit up. Lennie believed in it and wanted it most but now he can’t stay here and he will probably die. I hope he will be alright because he reminds me of my dog. He needed me and I was dependent on him because otherwise I would turn lonely. It’s the same with George and Lennie where Lennie is my dog and George is me. If Curley and the others find out they will probably kill Lennie and if Lennie dies they might also kill me finally because I’m just an old guy who worked beyond his usefulness. I don’t want to die yet so I asked George if he knew whether we could continue

If there is a dialogue going back and forth between multiple characters, another person’s lines could help prompt an actor. But in a monologue one must rely only on oneself. Preparing for my performance, I put a good deal of time and effort into memorizing the section of the Odyssey I had chosen, and I really thought I had it well memorized. I was even hopeful of possibly adding interesting inflection into my voice to enhance my performance. However, the moment I stood at the front of the class room I could barely remember my lines. All of my thoughts were focused on desperately trying to recall the correct words or spent trying to remain calm so as not to let anxiety overwhelm me. It was disheartening. I have always had a respect for actors, but that respect had grown as a result of this assignment.

Rodogno's fourth chapter is focused on Lebanon and Syria intervention, he starts off by giving the audience context on Lebanon and Syria. What I found to be very important and evident through the three chapters assigned this week is the idea of public opinion and media. This whole idea of media and public opinion is important to the history because some outlets misinformed citizens, while others attempted to paint the whole image of the massacres that took place in Lebanon and Syria. Media is a great source into gaining and losing supporters of a cause. As an example, Napoleon "published and censored news at his convenience...the biased information contributed to arouse genuine feelings of French public opinion on behalf of the innocent Christian populations allegedly slaughtered by the Druze" during the Lebanon massacre (94). In addition to media, "many images and perceptions of Syria and Lebanon had circulated in Europe" (95), painting the idea of the "Gentle Crusaders", whom are the

As an actor (and costume designer) in the ten-minute play: From the Mouths of Babes, I felt as if I had a role that fit and worked well with my fellow groups members. To give some background, my character was Davey; a rambunctious little kid whose devises an evil plan to kill his teacher. As an actor in the role of Davey I had to develop a somewhat cynical and occasionally sarcastic attitude. I was able to understand that when someone takes the role of an actor, one of the most important jobs is to really dig deep into the character. By that I mean, pulling apart his ulterior motives, distinguishing between different tones in the play, observing how the character reacts to stressful situations (do they take control or do they hide), and

The concept of monody was detrimental in the progression of music from the Renaissance era into the Baroque, shaping operatic arias into what we know them to be. Monody is a musical texture consisting of a single solo voice, supported by a free instrumental bass line. The voice line is often simple yet ornate, using embellishments to motivate the ideas of the libretto. Whilst having simple chordal accompaniment – usually played on a lute, harpsichord, guitar or harp – the listener can be focused on the text and meaning of the recitative and aria. Two of the more noteworthy developments of the transition from the Renaissance era to that of the Baroque, was the step away from choral music, and the introduction

Sorry for not replying earlier but There have been so many things going on at work this month that I had my head somewhere else.

Have you ever given much thought as to how an actor plays a role? From the moment they read a script, can they envision themselves doing justice to the character they’ve been bestowed upon? How does one fathom what it would be like to be someone else, acquire their traits, understand their thoughts, live their life? These are some of the questions that popped into my head when I auditioned for a play and ironically got the part, seeing as how I wasn’t even supposed to be there for the casting. You’d be surprised what life will throw your way, especially when you’re not looking.

When I completed interpreting my monologue, I knew there were some strengths and weaknesses of my performance. First of all, I used different pitches in my oral interpretation in order to contribute to Jaques’s character. I also used a variety of tones throughout my performance to show emotions. These vocal delivery techniques enhanced my performance. I also looked up at the audience quite frequently in order to have eye contact and engage with my audience. Therefore, I did not just simply read my monologue off of my piece of paper. Making eye contact with the audience helps the gain the audience’s attention. Similarly, I projected and articulated the words well, which helps the audience understand and hear what I am saying. However, I did

As their tour came to an end and the buggy pulled up in front of the Hall, Bass was surprised to see Neville junior waiting for them. “Lieutenant, what are you doing here?” he asked, helping Charlie down, keeping a hold of her hand.

Auditioning is perhaps one of the scariest parts of theater work. However, that was not the case for me. When I first walked in the door I was ready and had confidence. Furthermore, while reading over the play that was assigned to me for auditioning,

You may be asking yourself, how do I audition in theatre and How exactly do I do that? How do I become successful at auditions? Below are some steps to help you do pretty good at an audition. Don’t blame me if these don’t work. Everyone has different things that they do for auditions. Hopefully these steps help you. These steps will mostly be just for High school plays using monologues.

“Ever see someone talking to himself while on a stage? That 's what you call a soliloquy — a character 's speech voicing his or her own thoughts as if to himself” (Soliloquy - Dictionary Definition, n.d.). The soliloquy differs from a monologue is the thoughts of the read is in character mode but isn’t telling the audience his or her thoughts. Monologue is more than speaking out loud to audience; it’s the speech or verbal presentation that a single character presents in order to express his/her collection of

“Before I meet with any people, I research who they are and what their business is.” Research the theatre company or person you are auditioning for. Find out what parts they are looking for, what season they are doing. Cater your package or even your resume to them. If you are auditioning for a Shakespeare

1. Anyone who has ever been involved in any amount of theatre knows that auditioning is no one’s friend. As someone who is made nervous very easily, I have the awfullest nerves before any audition. So when my acting class decided to work on auditioning, I was somewhat excited. I had prepared a monologue, and I was ready to perform it when the next class rolled around. My name was called, and I was abnormally nervous considering I was surrounded by people I have done much more embarrassing things in front of— we all like to forget about the class in which we spent an hour rolling around on the floor in order to “connect with out deepest emotions.” I get up and the very moment I stand, my entire monologue has left my mind. I could not even
