Girls monologue

Violet’s Monologue from A Series of Unfortunate Events

 

I just don’t understand why we can’t be moved to a new home! It doesn’t matter if he gets to choose how he parents us, this is unfair. He gave us one rickety bed to sleep in, a pile of rocks to play with, and countless chores to do every day. He calls us orphans! He asked us to make dinner without a recipe or even a request for what he wanted. He left us with little money to buy the groceries to make his oh-so-special dinner. We made puttanesca sauce with pasta and he wanted roast beef. He said that because he was our new guardian he was not to be tested and demanded that we make him and his guest roast beef. In his anger, he picked up Sunny with one hand and just held her in the air. Klaus then tried to grab Sunny out of his arms and got slapped across the face by Count Olaf. Count Olaf smiled and raised Sunny higher. Mr. Poe please, I’m begging you take us away from Count Olaf. He’s always talking about the family fortune. He only wants our family fortune and nothing more. He doesn’t care about us or anyone else. We know that he is hatching a plan to take our family fortune. Yes, I know that the fortune can’t be touched until I come of age, but he’s going to figure out a way to take it. Mr. Poe you have to do something! We’ll prove it to you Mr. Poe! We’ll figure out a way to prove that Count Olaf is evil and when we do, you will take us away from him, won’t you? Thank you, Mr. Poe.

Boys monologue

Zero’s monologue from Holes

 

It was the right decision that I have dug Stanley's hole because he wasn't the culprit who spread Mr. Sir's sunflower seeds and it would be mean if he comes back from the warden, punished for what he "had done". I am the fastest digger in camp so it was okay that I have done it because I would have finished my hole anyway. Maybe we can become friends now! I like Stanley because he isn't like the other boys who treat me badly. Yesterday I've seen him reading a letter from his mother. Wouldn't it be awesome if I could read letters or books as well? This guy could teach me the alphabet! Yes, that's a great idea. Now I am sure that I haven't done anything wrong. Stanley is a good guy, I want to become friends with him for sure. Thinking of what I have done and what I want to ask him we could make a deal that he teaches me the alphabet and I can dig a part of his daily hole. I hope that he is going to accept my suggestion!
