Monologue #2
At first I suspected something--
She acted so calm and absent-minded.
And one day I heard the back door shut,
As I entered the front, and I saw him slink
Back of the smokehouse into the lot,
And run across the field.
And I meant to kill him on sight.
But that day, walking near Fourth Bridge,
Without a stick or stone in hand,
All of a sudden I saw him standing there,
Scared to death, holding his rabbits,
And I could say was, “Don’t, Don’t, Don’t,”
As he aimed and fired at my heart.

In-class Writing
Motivation - Motivation is very important to a character's development because without the motivation you wouldn't know what he's doing anything for, why would he say kill someone or swear revenge because somebody killed someone. The murderer could've killed a random person or his mother giving him the motivation to most likely take revenge on this murderer.
Backstory - A character's backstory usually ties into his motivation as a character's motivation is usually told in his backstory.
Setting - As my monologue takes place in what I suppose is a trailer home it kinda says that the guy is poor and maybe a redneck. I can tell its going to be an angry scene because most trailer scenes are fights and finding out people are cheating. Setting ties in with motivation usually and sometimes is part of the backstory

Monologue
Hi, my name is Duncan. A slushy of culture and personalities, born in Atlanta, raised in an english speaking Chinese household, growing up apart of the “Asian Gamers” but also the “White Cool Kids”, going to an international school but ever since I can remember I could speak Chinese. I am a writer, a poet, a social butterfly, but also really really lazy. Despite the fact I play video games all day I spend the whole time trying to make plans to go out with friends, wether its going to a grocery store on "Get Fat Fridays" or chilling on top the roofs of restaurants at midnight with a big can of whipped cream Im up for anything. Heres the thing though, I care about friends more than family, crazy right? And if theres one thing I cant live without it'd be companionship, so don’t mess with my friends and especially don’t lay a finger on my girlfriend *soldier voice* I am the hug that reassures you are loved and safe, I am the tears cried with every wave that breaks, even though the past bites back I make no mistake, I am Duncan Alexander, Silloway
