Monolog Blog Thread

Today we watched two astonishing monologues.

Post a comment - which one did you like and why? Have your comments posted by Sunday.

Assignment:

Choose and print two monologues. It will be best to copy/paste the text and double-space it on a page. We will start doing some emotional analysis tomorrow, period 5. Expect to have these memorized and presented within two weeks.

  1. The video that I liked the best was the first one. The reason I liked that one was because I liked the way he used so many different emotions in the performance. For example at the beginning he was very happy and excited but by the end he looked like he was going to cry. Also I liked how he used a whole variety of different facial expressions.

  2. The video I liked the most would be the first video. The first video had a lot of emotion. The first one also had a lot facial expression. IN the beginning he was funny, and towards the end he got sadder and looked like who could try.

  3. I liked the first video best because I liked how the man changed his facial expressions so quickly. It made the performance seem more dramatic and emotional. His use of emotion also drew me into his performance and made me more interested in what he was saying. Because if he had used the same or no facial expressions, I think his performance would have been very bland and I would have had no interest.

  4. My favourite video was the first one. I really liked the way he instantly changed his emotions. He was first very cheerful and sarcastic then made the quick switch to sad and pleading. He also really sold the sadness. When his eyes reddened, I really thought he was going to start sobbing on stage.

  5. My favourite video of the two was the first one. It showed good examples of rapid emotional change and even tricked me into thinking he was going to cry. A very well played performance.

  6. I really enjoyed the first monologue for it was very deep emotionally. The transition that he made from cheerfulness and fun, to sadness and regret, was very well executed
