posting it just in case! I emailed the instructor my monologue but didn’t post it here!

My name is Monica Rivera and I always dreamed of immersing myself into a fantasy world, a world where you can have superpowers and use them to accomplish many things in life such as helping others. I wish for a paradise of beautiful landscapes filled with kind people who don’t know the meaning of hatred, jealously, or negative feelings. Living in the city, people rarely know their neighbor, so it would be nice for people to have a sense of community. Who wouldn’t want superpowers? My personal favorites would be power over the elements, especially fire and ice. Fire because I consider myself very passionate person. I also believe that you should go through life with enthusiasm even if you aren’t that interested in the topic. It’s better than using a monotonic voice. That isn’t living! I also play video games that include magic spells and stuff like that. I grew up with many pets. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. I think I have become more attached to my family and friends because of the time my birds escaped through the open window when their cage was left open. I realized that you never know how much time you have with a loved one, whether they are your friends, family, or cherished pet. I consider myself a very emotional person and deeply care about the people who have been there for me. After I hopefully get a good paying job, I would like to travel around the world with my friends and family, and encounter places where there are kind people that have the great sense of community I have always longed for my entire life.

I did not go to the Miskin Art Gallery, however, I did research online and learned a lot about jazz and camera techniques. The manner in which the photographers captured the moment of someone playing jazz was very interesting. I learned that pictures can vividly apply to the sense of hearing even though there is no noise to the picture. It is clear photographers put a lot of time and effort in taking these pictures. This research has made me more analytical when observing pictures or portraits and to notice the more subtle details involved.
