Tio Juan Chapter
Back in Guatemala I had everything. I had a farm, I had family, I had friends, but when we moved to America I lost everything. Not really everything, I have a family, but only my niece can understand me; i can’t communicate with anyone in this country. I just wish that I could go back to Guatemala I remember the days where life was good, the air was clear and the sun was shining. I remember and miss when I had the happiness of being part of something. I was walking along the border of the family farm; i was around 17 years old at the time. I was rash and stupid. It was the early evening and I was bored, my friend Jesus found me and told me that they were going out to drink. “Come on Tio Juan, it's just one night.” Jesus whined. …show more content…
I tried arguing with him, but they just wouldn’t give in. “Tio Juan, if you don’t get out and live you won’t be happy with your life.” he pleaded. I knew it was wrong, but I gave in and went with him. That night we never came back to the farm, because we were walking back to the farm, when a police officer came up to us and asked
“Are you boys old enough to drink.” Because we were noticeably drunk the police officer didn’t have to ask if we were drinking.
“Yes,” mumbled jesus as he fell

    Tituba Monologue

    This scene is important to both the text of the play and the film adaptation, and serves similar purposes in both. For example, it signifies the rising action of the film as it includes the first of many false accusations and confessions. In addition to the importance this scene has to the structure of the play, it is also a pivotal scene for both Tituba and Abigail. For Tituba, this scene is her brief rise to power. Her confession ensures the town’s trust in her, making her arguably the most powerful member of Salem. However, Abigail sees not only the power that Tituba gains through her confession, but also the potential that she herself may have to influence the town. In general, this scene conveys the leverage over other members of Salem…

    Tom Finch Monologue

    It was a hot afternoon and i was setting by the river thinking when i saw my boy sam running towards me like his behind was on fire. His face looked frightened, so much like his father’s. He said that Mr. Finch and Cal just drove into our yard in those fancy automobiles that costs way too much. My heart started beating so fast but i still had hope. He could be here because they realized Tom was innocent and he was finally coming home to us. When i got to my home, I saw my children playing a game with their marbles. I saw Mr. Finch standing there with a look of sorrow on his face. He looked at me with regret. He didn't have to say anything because i just knew, I just knew he was gone. My knees gave out all of a sudden, I collapsed to the dirt. I wished that the ground would swallow me up. I was not strong for this, i'm still not. I held back my screams that will break out any minute. I have to put a straight face for my kids, i’m all they have now.…

Worry.” (1) To me Melody is different then a lot of 5th graders. But it is in a good way. She is very selfless, a lot of kids her age are selfish they are very greedy and don’t appreciate what they have. Melody had to. For a long time, she was not able to talk so she just went with whatever happened and as long as it served the propose she was happy.…

    Dio Monologue

    I am DIO; the epitome of all beings. All tremble before me as when I rise from my slumber, planning on what mass destruction that one, such as I, could unleash upon the world. Consequently, a primate species like the Pillar men could never, ever, equate to one like me. It is laughable, to think that the pathetic humans find it possible to compare them to I, Dio. It is useless: such beings are beyond any hope. Especially the Joestars. They think that they are capable of standing up against me; little do they know, they are in fact tools to guide me on my path to attain "heaven". Also Pucci is my husband. But we don't do the naughty naughty. That's just…

    Santiago The Shepherd Monologue

    I, Santiago the shepherd, have finally arrived at the old, destroyed, and abandoned church with my flock of sheep. An enormous sycamore tree lies where the sacristy used to be. I might as well spend the night here as it is beginning to become dark. When I awoke from my slightly uncomfortable slumber, it was still dark. A strange dream kept on waking me up. I have only had the dream twice. However, the worst part of the dream is that I never see the ending of it. I always wake up before I see it. Since I am already awake, I shall go and wake up some of my sheep. In some odd way, the sheep seem to follow the same routine that I follow. For example, as I began to wake up, the sheep began to wake up. I also feel that the sheep understand what I say or do.…
