i am an emotional creature 1
I chose to write my analysis on the monologue "Let Me In." Although these monologues may be fiction I believe this one embodies some of the middle/high school world that is real. Many girls are truly as fake and as vicious as the girls in this monologue and it is a sad sad thing to see. I think this book would be a great read for middle schoolers. A lot of it focuses on young women but I think even boys can relate to monologues like this one. I think almost every student has gone through the range of emotions that the main character in this monologue goes through. She creeps into the 'in crowd' and then quickly finds out that one false mood gets you kicked out. This monologue is a great way to show young girls that clicks are vicious, the main character manages to find herself passed out and waking up in the room of a friend, but it could have really ended up worse. These kind of monologues could be used for role play situations, which is a great way to learn how to deal with bad situations in a safe environment. Let me in is a great title for this monologue because at one point or another most kids find themselves on the outside looking in and willing to do anything they can just to fit in or be let into the 'cool' crowd. The main character wants a pair of boots that her mother cannot afford. "She's constantly jeopardizing my position," she doesn't even think of all her mother would have to sacrifice for the boots she just thinks about what people at school will think. What she needs to realize is that material things don't define a person someone's personality and the things they do in life matter.
