Things Fall Apart: Monologue
In my monologue I am Ojiugo, Okonkwo's third and youngest wife, talking to Ekwefi, who is one of Okonkwo's other wife. I typed it up on a "memo pad" on my phone. I had it with me everywhere I went to practice. Read it at the dinner table, on the skytrain, in bed and other places... But maybe an actual memo pad handwritten would've been better? I couldn't really nail it in class, but oh well! lesson learned for my next monologue.. which hopefully won't be anytime soon :D.

Hey Palita,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of highlighting the unfairness of the situation and captured the hurt/confusion Ojiugo felt quite well. You used a lot of questions to get your point across, which I feel was very effective in getting the audience to pity and lean towards Ojiugo's side. Though you stumbled during your presentation, you made a great recovery and still managed to be very persuasive. Good job!
