Monologues

     When I think I think of people reciting lines often without emotion. But when we had to perform it for class I felt as if everyone in this class delivered it beautifully. I could see that Lexi was heartbroken yet she was nostalgic. I could tell that Sam was a little boy that was a total loser and he even knew it. I saw how upset Lindsay was about her friends betrayal and how maddie felt that Romeo and Juliet was a terrible love story. This made everyone's monologue amazing. They all made the peace their own and I can really see that they were they're character.

     And Lexi's monolouge I felt as if she was really Rachel. She was upset when she needed to be upset and sad when she needed to be sad. The lines were she said this was our Jerusalem really touched my heart. To me she meant that this was their place of peace and love and I really felt every where she said. She was really good with her facial expressions and her body movements. She frowned at the sad parts, smiled at the nostalgic parts even almost cried which was brilliant. Good job Lexi!

   

       Then there was Sam. Sam did really good becoming Charlie Brown. I must admit that her peace was hilarious, honestly it was amazing. She did really well acting like she was a clumsy loser and that everyone hated her. I thought that I was watching the real Charlie Brown in action. You could tell that he was alone and that he felt as if no one loved him. She projected her voice very well especially when her head was in the plastic bag. I didn't feel like she was reciting a monolouge. I felt as if she was speaking me as Charlie Brown. Bravo Sam!

 

         Then there was a Fairmayden Lindsay. You could tell that she was upset and very hurt by the betrayel of her friend. She did very well delivering the piece of Shakespeare. Although I couldn't understand all of the words her movements made it so that I could. When she was hurt she put her hand over her heart and closed her eyes. That was brilliant Lindsay. She seems like she should be in a movie or a Shakespeare play. Amazing Lindsay!

             Last but not least we have maddie. Maddie was funny as well as she was outstanding. When maddie performed you could tell that she thought her teacher was stupid for making them do all of this unnecessary work. You could tell that she hated Romeo and Juliet, and that she had a different take on love. Maddie really dilivered the monolouge well. Her changes in tone where perfect. She made some words dramatic and others less dramatic, while still keeping you interested in what she was going to say. I enjoyed watching maddie perform. Outstanding performance! 

   

                 I think that watching all of your monologues made me understand the meaning of acting. I think that I did really well when I performed my monolouge. I like how I slammed the books when I was upset and how I showed that I never wanted to be like a bully. I really enjoyed this acting exercise and cannot wait for the silent films.
