For my senior drama class we all have to chose a deceased person to write a monologue about. There's a bunch of things to factor into it, too. We can either choose a monologue from a play that was written within your person's life and perform it in that style and write a piece of "in role writing" basically - which could be a diary entry, an anecdote, etc. OR we can write a monologue as the historical figure, performed in the style of the day.
I think I've decided on Audrey Hepburn as my historical person, but I'm not one hundred percent on it. I don't know why. It seems like the character is a little more boring than others (but by no means do I mean that Audrey Hepburn was a boring character).
I don't think that I want to write the monologue. My reasoning: IT'S BORING. What she would talk about (in my mind - because I have an idea) would only be shared in say, a diary entry or a letter or something. It just doesn't seem right for her to sit on a chair, smoke and talk about how her life's been and how she wants to give back to the world. I really think that it'll lighten the load for me, because I love writing 750 word papers ;).
Yes. I think that that's what I'll do. I suppose blogging about it let me argue it with myself ;)
