As the monologue begins, the woman begins by asking others if they could allow her to use their phone to make a phone call. She continues to say that she needs to make a phone call in order to get into contact with her sister, who is about to leave. From this monologue, I believe the woman is trying to get to the point of people not caring enough to see the desperation of others. Nowadays people are too preoccupied with their electronics to not be able to see what is happening around them. She includes that people are “connected to someone in China while ignoring the flesh and bone body standing next to you.” From this, I can conclude that people will give their attention to something that they do not witness, but would not if they did. While people take notice or like a post on the media, most do not actually take action to help the situation. For example, a person could post about poverty in another country but would not give a glance to the poor he/she passes by on the block he/she walks by every day. This monologue left a strong impression on me because it reminds me that most people are all talk but no action. People are “sympathetic” or “empathetic” but would not do anything to help, thus making them passive.
