The Shoe Horn Sonata
English Assignment – Monologue
Thank god the interview is finally over I don’t think I could re-live those traumatic events once more, but who am I kidding after the public have seen this I’m gonna have to move overseas. Then again I think that I’ve got it tough, I can’t imagine how Sheila is coping, to reveal some of the things she did would have been embarrassing and terrifying if you ask me. I mean to tell the entire viewing public you slept with a Jap for some Quinine, ahh, I couldn’t bear it.
I don’t even know what to think, in some way I feel angry, but then i suppose I gotta look at it in a positive way, had she have not slept with Lipstick Larry I wouldn’t be here today. I believe the saying is an eye for eye, I saved her at sea and she saved me in camp, so when I think about it that bloody shoe-horn saved us both, who would of thought, but was it worth it.
After being cured of that pesky cerebral malaria I still had to face the Japs each day, day in, day out and I still had to eat rice almost everyday and I still had to watch some of my best friends perish and then having to bury them and forget about them.
It’s like they say you can’t move forward if you’re stuck in the past, so I just have to forget about all the people we lost at camp, they were not just great army nurses but they were great people and i will never forget them, not one, except for Janet. The way she tried to take over and make these not so brilliant plans, ohh, she just annoyed me and I suppose it would be rude to say but I didn’t mind when she kicked the can. I pretty much saw her as a Jap.
The Japs were disgusting, pigheaded human beings, i don’t even know consider them humans. For someone to treat others in the way they did, they are animals complete and utter animals, they gave us no privacy. I think they thought privacy meant publicity because we couldn’t do anything without a Jap watching us or a Jap being near -by. Even when going to the toilet I just felt as if each
