MONOLOGUES MISUNDERSTOOD by Albert Jamae BASIL/ALISON They simply don’t understand. I know I make mistakes; doesn’t everyone? But I just can’t seem to get it through to them that I never mean to hurt anyone. I’m not trying to be your parents how you feel about stuff without it sounding bad. But I’m just trying to be honest; which is weird because that’s what they say they want from me‚ but when I give it‚ it’s not okay. Talk about contradiction. MISUNDERSTOOD rude on purpose‚ I just…sometimes

myself as a " KNOW IT ALL." I misunderstood learning. Theres a saying by Donald Rumsfeld from the book Make it Stick "There are known knowns‚ there are things we know that we know.

She thinks what she’s doing will help the kids for their future. First‚ Alexandra takes pride in their family
