Paper Birds Monologue

Writing, as described by E.L. Doctorow, is an exploration. In her novel, Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott explores the writing process, providing her insight on stylistic, theoretical, and instructional points. These points are essential in the composure of a book and are prevalent in many literary works such as Tim O’Brien’s The Things they Carried. In his book, O’Brien relives his time on the frontlines of the Vietnam War, telling fictional stories of life before, during, and post war. The novels are tied together with O’Brien’s use of character development, dialogue, and design setting strategies as discussed in Bird by Bird.

Should we be feeding the birds? It should not be done because it makes the birds lazy unhealthy and easier prey for predators. In the passage "For the Birds" the author claims that bird feeders will bring wildlife to your backyard. They also state that having feeders attracts the birds to your yard so if you have trees, bushes, flowers or any thing like that, it can provide a safe haven away from predators. This is great for bird watchers because you can watch them as they eat, and if you want to attract a particular species of bird to watch then you can put out a particular seed.

I was walking when suddenly I heard a voice behind me shout, “Hi! Wait a minute!” Before I continue… I should probably tell you about where I am. I believe I’m on an island. I’m not sure though? Oh I’m Ralph though. I am from Britain. I wrote this with my blood and some leaves well stranded on this island. Anyways I got side tracked where did I leave off. Ohh yeah this boy was following me. He was shorter than an average boy, very fat, glasses, and asthma. He kept following me which was ANNOYING. The boy has this crazy idea that we are trapped here. Frankly I don’t believe him. I kept walking toward nowhere well the boy trugs along behind me slowly. I still have yet to know the annoying boy’s name. I notice in front of me water. I started to run foreword excited to get in the water.

I think this will help me grow as an actor by making me step out of my comfort zone and be loose onstage. The challenges provided by the accent and text will help me grow since I’m not used to something so extreme. This monologue is a great opportunity to be this wacky character and make bold choices.

There is no denying the incredible library of knowledge the internet has made readily available for all to use. Having such a resource is transforming modern society in many ways, as it brings insight and news across the world at a moment’s notice, all the while enhancing educational and technological advancements. However, according to Sven Birkets, an American essayist and literacy critic, in his essay, “The Owl Has Flown”, it is not without fault as observations are to be made on how this new resource has transformed people’s intelligence and wisdom. The author theorizes that the large, almost unlimited, library that is now being offered by services such as the internet, reshapes the public’s knowledge. Knowledge is transformed to be horizontal or insubstantial compared to the much deeper lateral understanding pertaining to older generations because of the amount of time they spent dwelling on a much smaller set of resources. This observation made by Birkets in the late 90’s is expanded upon, and modernized by Nicholas Carr, an American writer and author, in a more inflicting and self-reflecting article for The Atlantic magazine entitled “Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet is doing to our brains”. Carr does not just blame the Google search engine in this claim, but the internet as a whole on how it impacts concentration and our ability to contemplate. These cognitive impacts are observed and explained in more scientific terms by Eric Jaffe, a regular Observer

Flies were drawn to her rotting body, and they clung to her decayed skin. Bonnie, my neighbor's old Labrador, was the first to find the dead woman hanging from my tree.

With my back now facing the party, I rounded on my heels into an about-face to direct my eyes and attention to general area in which the slur was rendered. With my two male friends flanking each side of me, I crisply questioned “What did you say?” The bustling sounds of chatter immediately reduced to pin-drop silence as I kept my eyes trained on the area.

The audience then became lost and frightened as there were no signs leading them to their next destination, once again forcing them to partake in the performance. This physicalisation not only successfully involved the contemporary audience, but demonstrated the necessity of physical composition to give audiences that real experience. This use of physical composition provided immediate reaction and emotional expression through action and contrast. These elements ultimately enhanced the mood and symbolism of the performance, allowing audiences to not only partake in the production on an intimate level but also on an emotional level. Another way in which mood and symbol can be created is through the use of complicité.

First, I want to evaluate my own performance. My performance as Bertha involved many different uses of my voice, including screaming, insane laughter, and singing. I worked with my voice teacher in order to scream properly for the play, which meant I had to learn proper breath support and placement to avoid vocal damage. I tried to scream properly every time I performed, but sometimes I accidentally placed the scream in my throat rather than the mask, causing my voice to hurt. Properly produced screaming is

A little girl and a young boy play in a field, as the sky gets darker. The clouds are not covering up the sun, but instead there are hundreds of large birds. The birds start to fill up the sky, it is just full of the animals all shape, size and size. The children start to bolt to safety, but they are too late. The birds dive bomb the children like rain, tearing at their fragile skin. This is the picture that Daphne du Maurie painted in your mind and Alfred Hitchcock put on your screen.

The idea of freedom is valued in Canada because we know the alternative is the feeling of helplessness. It appalls us to be restricted from doing what we want. More often than not, helplessness is an unexpressed emotion because individuals are not aware of their its presence in their adversities. However, according to Sigmund Freud, “Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” Usually in the form of unconscious anger. In A Bird in the House, by Margaret Laurence, individuals either displaced or repressed the anger felt from their helplessness in their adversities. Displacement and repression are negative defense mechanisms because both are ineffective in communicating the needs of the
