Read through chapter 7 for Monday. Now let's be a little creative!!! Write a minimum of a ten line monologue to perform in drama class on Monday. Write and in turn deliver the monologue (speech) as if you were a character in All Quiet on the Western Front. Be passionate, be thoughtful, be CREATIVE.
A monologue is a speech that one actor delivers in a play. Before you get started, consider these questions!!!
WHERE IS THIS PERSON SPEAKING?
WHO IS LISTENING?
WHAT IS THE MAIN THING THEY ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT?
NOW CHOOSE A STARTING LINE that will capture the audience's attention.
Muller: What would you guys do if the war ended now, just suddenly stopped? Peace was made, and no brutal fighting was to be had.
Kropp: No war could be ended in an instant, there are too many lives that have been ended, too many families have been ruined, and worst of all the government has lost too much money.
Muller: No but if it actually did happen, what would you do?
Kropp: Okay, well if the war suddenly stopped, for only god knows why, soon enough war would come upon us once again. Because there is always something to fight about, there is always brutal fighting to be had, and peace that will never be fully made. So if you think about it, we are only really a time in history, we are fighting for something, but soon enough, another conflict between two countries or two people will occur. But we have to do what is right…right? We have to fight for our country, and protect our families. And we are looked up at for killing people? So we have a war going on, and peace that will never be made, our messed up ways of solving conflict, people dying, families being torn apart, and money being lost. That is why I think war will never stop, especially so suddenly. This is not a place for dreaming or fairy tales.
