ENG 2150 Gimme Shelter: the spaces we live in

This report I plan on writing about the lower east side and its change from poor immigrant and Jewish town to a flourishing trendy neighborhood and how this change affected the city’s image and portrayal as well.  As a New York Jew it isn’t rare, but all of my grandparents came from different countries, homes, and lifestyles yet met during this time period in this area. This essay will be as if it is documenting New York changing through their eyes, specifically the Lower East Side. This essay is not about them particularly more there generation’s span in being a dominant force to an onlooker to change.

Britanick’s A Monologue for Thee – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbVylFKfisU

“If music be the food of love, play on” these are the first words in this production of BritANick’s A Monolouge for Thee, a video about a man named Brian who’s trying to recall the final lines from Orsino’s monolouge in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. While trying this, his friend Nick tries to help him remember by spouting anything that comes to his mind. This sketch video represents the the stream of consciousness through the thought process of Nick’s mind. Nick’s stream of thought is  complex and annoying. Brian gets more and more annoyed with Nick’s random and incorrect answers that ultimately distract Brian from figuring out the  real last lines of the monologue .Nick’s thought process goes from different  non-relatable topics like Dr. Suess’s Green Egg’s and Ham, an Imitation of Tennessee William, and Brian’s Ex-Girlfriends suicide note. Nick’s stream of conscious is not only random but rarely connected as in none of the solutions make any sense just like the Stream of Consciousness. His ridiculous ideas are so consistently ridiculous which makes his thought process/stream of consciousness is unique. Eventually Nick’s thought process reach the final quote and they together rehearse the line “Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy that it alone is high fantastical.” this final line seems so far from the original quoting of Twelfth Night that they seem like they aren’t even part of the same quote. This video shows represents the Stream of Consciousness because two different experiences being unique bc they encounter the world though different  feelings and different emotions. The stream of conciseness doesn’t relate perfectly to this though this video as the its really only the thought process of Nick’s mind and not Brian as Brian doesn’t really think out loud just comment on Nick’s thinking.
