This emphasizes just how young Li’l Bit was at this time-eleven-and how, in Li’l Bit’s own words, it was the “the last day I lived in my body. Most poignantly of all, the teenage chorus plays Li’l Bit’s own voice in the play’s penultimate scene, which depicts the first instance of abuse by Uncle Peck. The teenage chorus also plays some of Li’l Bit’s high school companions. In the most jarring chorus role, the teenage chorus plays Li’l Bit’s grandmother, who vividly likens Li’l Bit’s grandfather’s sexual behavior to that of a “bull” and accepts her husband’s view that a woman’s main purpose is to “have the table set and the bed turned down.” Perhaps, by being played by the youngest actress, Vogel is signaling toward the cyclical nature of behavior within a family-though the grandmother is old, she presents unequal gender roles that, though perhaps changed in one or two ways, are still entrenched. If you would like to give a public performance of this monologue, please obtain authorization from the appropriate licensor. Monologues are presented on StageAgent for educational purposes only. The teenage chorus is instructed by Vogel to be significantly younger, or at least younger-looking, than the other choruses. All monologues are property and copyright of their owners.

Lara sold her first novel, Bringing Up the Bones, just two days after earning her MFA in in Creative Writing with a concentration in Writing for Children. Instead, she landed in a young adult novel writing workshop-and never looked back. Her day job prevented her from taking a screenwriting class that first semester. She wanted to learn how to write TV shows, and enrolled in Emerson College, in Boston, Massachusetts, with that goal in mind. She graduated from the University of Delaware in 1997, with a BA in English and enough real-world experience to tell you exactly what one can do with that degree.Īfter a gap year spent working as a journalist in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Lara decided to go to graduate school.

This month the tally of the unknown author swells again, with the publication of Can You Hear Me?, a paramedic’s memoir published under the pseudonym Jake Jones.įor readers, the anonymous author holds a simple and compelling promise. Today, Anonymous is probably an outraged employee in a public service: a member of the legal profession blowing the whistle on the system, or a medic who has seen one too many patients expiring on a trolley. “F or most of history, Anonymous was a woman,” wrote Virginia Woolf.

He’s a friendly exterior concealing a nefarious plot to seduce you and rob you of your self. The perfect artificial man is not a muscled savior. The story is about blots - male AIs designed to look like handsome heartthrobs, ingratiate themselves and steal women’s data. Male androids, in contrast, are super strong and hypercompetent (The Terminator series, Ultron, “ Bladerunner.”) The title story of Kate Folk’s new collection “ Out There” gleefully rewires those gendered tropes. In pop culture, female androids and artificial intelligences tend to be sexualized and treated as potential partners (“ Ex Machina,” “ Westworld,” “ Her”).

The way the MCs met, umm idk? I didn't quite like it. Another thing that made me lower my rating was that I couldn't connect with the story because it felt very rushed (I know it's a novella, but it didn't make any sense, it was jumping from one thing to another). Granger (H) this man here was crazy and obsessive (which I liked), but the heroine was just average, I would have wanted her to have more power and character. That scene was one of the weirdest things I've ever read and I couldn't help but laugh while at the same time I was thinking "wtf am I reading?" Now, thanks to this novella, I know that apparently there is something called a "cock cage". This was weird and cringe at the same time, but I still enjoyed it□□ I had to fight to keep you the only way I know how. “You’re the first person I’ve ever needed. Ruth liked the music but never planned to be a minister’s wife. All five members of the family were required to attend all three services. Thirteen-year-old Frank and his younger brother by two years, Jake, handed out flyers. Ariel was a brilliant musician and budding composer who played the organ at the churches. Ruth, a lover of music, led the choir at all three churches. Nathan was a bright and devout man who also led the worship at two other churches in the region, Cadbury Methodist and Fosburg Methodist. Nathan was the minister at the Third Avenue Methodist Church in what was known as the Flats in New Bremen, Minnesota. The Drum family consisted of Nathan and Ruth and their three children, Ariel, Frank and Jake. The story is told thirty years later by Frank Drum who was 13-years old at the time. “Ordinary Grace” by William Kent Krueger is the story of the Drum family’s summer in 1961. “I did not run off, for I thought that wicked, but I walked off, believing that to be all right.” In 1843 she renamed herself “Truth” for God, and “Sojourner” because she intended to “travel up and down the land,” preaching and testifying. After a number of new masters, and four children later, she escaped her last servitude shortly before the mandated New York State emancipation took effect on July 4, 1827. Named “Isabelle” by her parents, she developed deep religious feelings from her mother, from whom she was separated at age nine. Evangelist, abolitionist, reformer and women’s rights advocate Sojourner Truth was born to James and Elizabeth Baumfree, both slaves of a Dutch family in Ulster County, New York. Her evangelic fervor and plain wit helped to advance the causes of emancipation and women’s rights” (Blockson 29). “A legend in her own time, Truth’s indomitable will has won her a permanent place in American History.
