Everyone in my community does not like the way I live. In the community I live in, there are harsh people. I don't want them to make fun of me, so I tell them I’m drunk. Since everyone thinks I’m drunk, they don’t want to go near me, so I don’t have any friends. Today at court, I ran into two kids named Dill and Scout. Dill was crying because of the harsh words people were using at court. I told him I knew how he felt because I also don’t think it’s right. I tried to comfort him by giving him a drink but Scout told Dill not to take the drink. Scout thought it was whiskey but when Dill took a sip he told her it was Coca Cola. I explained to Scout that I often drink Coca Cola and that I don’t usually get drunk. I told Scout that when I go to …show more content…
Scout was being really nice to me, and she was interested in what I was saying. When I came home, I decided to write this monologue because it felt good to get everything off my chest. Now, I am going to talk more about my community. I want to be part of my community, but it is tough. If I tell everyone I am not drunk, they won’t want to be with me because they will see that I am acting the same as before and will think I am still drunk. If I tell the people I am drunk, they won’t want to hang out with me. So I need to find a different way for people to want to hang out with me. Also it is so mean how people in the community judge others. They should worry about themselves and not other people. Other people judge me that I hang out with black people. I don’t understand what is wrong with black people. I have black and white children and nothing is wrong with that. If I didn’t hang out with black people, then some people would like me because I am a rich white man. I can’t do that though because some of my children are black so I can’t be racist. That’s why people don’t want to be friends with me. My community is very demeaning so I am going to try to make it better and make some

To Kill A Mockingbird Atticus Monologue

The rotten planks creaked, the draped curtains flailed, and the murder of crows hollered. My eyes flickered open as the moon rose. My blue, farmer salopettes deteriorated with colour as I opened the basement cellar and grabbed a classic, half-drunk, 1900- Green Whisky. As the whiskey burned my throat, I was transported into thoughts about my wife. Melancholy engulfed me as I drank more and more of the rancid liquid. Mayella cried every night to her mother. Maybe if she was still alive, she wouldn’t…

Essay Monologue: To Kill a Mockingbird and Mr Underwood

editorial as it would usually humour me since the author Mr Underwood would usually just make it up out of his own mind. Mr Underwood did not actually leave his home but rather the stories came to him. He didn’t like the justice system being allowed to kill anyone who was obviously innocent. I remember reading the editorial each day about the trial. Even though Mr Underwood portrayed Mr Ewell as a hero it could be seen just by comparing his writing style a week ago to now, that even he believed Tom was…

Huckleberry Finn Research Paper

As far as I can tell, there was no plot. Every couple chapter could have been expanded and turned into its own book or short story. While the episodic format worked for To Kill A Mockingbird, it was a huge failure for Huckleberry Finn due to the lack of connection between chapters. Furthermore, there was little character development throughout the book. How could there be? Every four chapters, an almost entirely new set of characters…
