Crazy Courage Monologue

395 Words2 Pages

The only thing I know about the hell that I am locked in is that I am safe, so protected. The clock had run in many circles since I had been thrown in here. If I am correct, it ran 342 laps. What else could I have done but track its every movement, for I do not know its powers. The voice that I heard twice a day and every day since arriving had finally shone its face. His face was blank, almost as if he had less emotion than I. He proceeded to drag me out of my chamber, and into another, this one had others in it. I was happy, or as close to happy as one can get. I wouldn’t know what that word feels like. Then I saw him. The person I was to share the chamber with was like an evil doppleganger come to stalk me. I had hoped that whoever kept me here would refrain from torturing me with another one. Another man looking through my flesh, past my pulsing heart, and straight through my soul.(They know what …show more content…

But how am I to get them out? My methods must change from the last time. Although, I should have known that that snake was preying on me, stalking my movements from within the shadows. His lips shaped, slowing into a smile, and while his lips did not move I could still hear the voices quietly whispering for me to get them. The voices, the voices; they screamed at me. It figures that they would be cowards, hiding behind my walls. I was left with no other choice but to get them out. All I had were my hands. There they go again, yelling at me to stop and surrender. Wait, it’s that officer again! What is that thing in his hand, that shines and zaps like lightning? I hope that menacing snake, and his evil sidekicks get them before me. Zap! That zap shook me back into reality, and when I glanced down toward the stone cold floor, I saw the man, with the crooked smile, except he wasn 't smiling, and his razor eye were gone, minus what was left on my

    The story is told from the omniscient first person point of view. The man has come across this snake while he is out on a walk through the desert. Both the man and the snake had no intentions of harming the other at first, “My first instinct was to let him go his way and I would go mine…”.

    “This is the journal of a priest who died in Purgatory in the late 1880’s, probably of some now-curable disease, but the journal he kept is all about spirituality, and not like, believing in a higher power. He talks about the spiritual history of Purgatory- being one of what he calls, ‘an old gate to Hell,’ leftover from when God cast out the devil. Father Virgil talks about how this makes Purgatory, and the Ghost River Triangle, susceptible to the musings of the devil, blah blah, I think he means demons, or at least like. Bad vibes.” Shrugging, Waverly took a breath before continuing, “But later on, he talks about having dreams- like, visions, I think- of the Key, who follows the Lead to the Gate, where… well, I’m not sure where the Gate is, or why the Key follows the Lead there, but… I think depending on what happens at the where…”

    I sauntered off into the deep dark pits of hell and happened upon a dark figure with a medium built body with no arms and hands. He led Virgil and I into his tavern and to our amazement we discovered that this was an unusual type of hell with grey padded walls and incandescent lighting, akin to an insane asylum. The figure revealed himself to be none other than Bill Cosby and I immediately felt the feeling of lewdness emitted through me. The stifled wails could already be heard beyond the impenetrable gates, the serrated barricades could barely hold back the torment of the countless souls confined in this pit.

  • Analysis Of Jimmy Santiago Baca's Who Understands Me But Me

    764 Words  | 4 Pages

    Immediately from the start, the unknown oppressors attempt to isolate the author by “build[ing] walls higher” and “paint[ing] the windows black” so that he does not establish communication with the outside world. Subsequently, the oppressors locking of his cage represents his imprisonment (Constantakis lines16-17: 278). In lines 5-9, the author’s “heart” gets “rip[ped] open” and his life “crush[ed]”, so that he does not have any goals to live for, and so that he does not live his life as he wants. The captors describe him as “beastly and fiendish”, which serves as a mental restraint to the author’s outward attitude; while having “no passage out of hell” indicates that the author will remain stuck with his woes until he can no longer handle them. The imagery creates an idea of superiority for the oppressors over the author, and their cruelty through torture.

    As Nelson Mandela wisely said “ I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” The story centers around the Finch family and the lessons that both Jem and Scout Finch learn as their father defends a black man accused of rape. Throughout To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, we see the idea of true courage reflected in Jem Finch’s journey. With her words, Harper Lee paints a picture of what true courage as it is, and Jem Finch takes this lesson to heart as he sees examples of true courage in his life.
