Tuesday

I Wake up, alarm went off
Eh, hit the snooze
Alarm goes off again,
Eyes open this time but once again hit the snooze
Mom comes in and the lights flick on
“Get out of bed you go in at 8:15”
I Shower and brush my teeth
“Those sweats should do…and yea that shirt I guess”
Race to the train, catch an A and try to get a seat even though that never happens.
A to the 4 to the 6, smell getting worse and space becoming more scarce
Walk to the building and spin through the door Into school
Up the escalator to the 10th…room 145 it’s time for English…and just like that the day ends before it even starts.

  1. Adam’s monologue is very easy to relate to. Most of the time it is hard to get up from bed in the morning and go to school. Also, English has been a tough subject this semester.

  2. I really like how the monologue ends, I found that my favorite part. The unique thing about it is, because of the bursts of action that the monologue follows instead of just a plain old storytelling format. This helps visualize the story that Adam is telling better than a traditional narration of events. Also, the pacing of the monologue written out is similar to the rush of the morning commute to get to school, so that was cool too.

  3. I like the way this is structured. The short sentences give the mood off very well. Waking up and heading to school is none of our favorite things, but we know we have to.

  4. Easy to relate to and a very good ending. Used a lot of action words which created a tactile feeling. Created good visualization that really gave life into the story.

  5. I loved Adam’s use of humor. I felt like even though it was about HIS feelings, everyone was able to feel his pain. The “punch line” was also a surprise. Also, even though he was talking about something negative, i didn’t feel down after hearing his monologue.
