BRYY

In plays monologues can help the audience to get to know the character. The monologue can tell their background or say what they are thinking. It helps the play have more depth if the characters are more understood. My monologue was about poor families giving up their children to wealthy familes so they can live a better life, but the rich families take the kids and turn them into slaves.

i could not sign into my blog so i am emailing you my answers to the
questions.

1) When we looked at the play in class to look for things that were cultural
bias, the main thing that stuck out to me was the names. You can tell where
a person is from, usually, based on their name. We took time to see that so
we could use it in our scripting. You were probably frustrated because it
looks like they got nothing out of the activity we just did. You wanted us
to be careful on choosing names that would be not bias to one country, and
these three names are common american names. In our play we did not name our
characters. To avoid offending anyone, we decided that to script it we would
just use what they are as the name. THe victim, the rapist, the girlfriend,
etc. This way whoever is putting on the paly can use names that pertain to
where they are.

2) for me improv is the best technique. In our group we talk about what is
going to happen in the scene and then we go for it. once we run through it a
couple of times then we sit down at the computer and we all recall what we
said and what happend and that is how we get our script. I think this is the
easiest way to make a script since everyone knows what they are saying.
