Guinea Pig Monologue
I am not very fond of animals. Well, I like animals- do not get me wrong, but I do not know how to take care of them. You see, I am a clumsy person. Honestly, I am. Out of nowhere I am walking, but randomly I am on the floor. I am normal like that. Anyway, I never thought I was going to have a pet, but I did. It was something I did not expected, and it was the best thing I’ve experience. There is a saying that I related a lot, “life is not as we expected”. Yeah, I was not expecting to take care of a guinea pig. Two years after my mom died, my dad officially introduced his girlfriend- no, they are not dating anymore, to my brother, sister, and me. My dad’s ex-girlfriend, Jessica, had a son and a daughter. Her son, Robby, loves guinea pigs. Robby bought a guinea pig. As to this, after one year of dating, Jessica started to live with my family. Since Robby loves guinea pigs, he bought one. Robby was excited to have a guinea pig, while on the contrary, I was annoyed. …show more content…
By the way, Melody was a girl. When I first saw Melody, she looked like a hamster. I am sorry to say this, but I was confused whether Melody was a hamster or a guinea pig. At first, I was not fond of Melody, but out of nowhere, I started to love her like she was my child. I know, it is dramatic to say coming from a ten years old kid. But I did. I hated everything about Melody, yet loved her. It was like a hate - love relationship.
Scientists says that animals have their own personalities, and I agree. Melody was like an old lady, bitter about life. But not really. Melody liked being alone in a corner. In the corner, she would eat bell peppers. Melody loved bell peppers. It was annoying that everyday I would cut bell pepper just for her, yet it was comforting seeing her eat. It was comforting to see her alive and well. It is like seeing your own child eating. Annoyed that you have to cook everyday, yet being comforted seeing your child

    Pitbulls Monologue

    • 380 Words
    • 2 Pages

    When we arrived I was amazed at all the different costumes. There was a couple that had two bulldogs. The male was dressed as a gentleman, and the female was dressed in a little queen outfit. They were so amazingly cute. As me and Tailgate walked around, there was a woman that fell in love with Tailgate. She followed us the entire time, taking pictures of Tailgate. Then we entered the last building there was a woman with two Boston terroirs. They were attacking other dogs, growling, nipping. The sad thing is the lady did not stop their behavior. When we were close Tailgate hid behind my leg. I did not realize there was a couple behind me until I heard this low growl. They had a huge pit bull. The little dogs decided they were going to attack the bigger pit bull, and he let them know he was not going to back down from them. Well the lady with the two little dogs scooped up her little minions and let this gasp out. She was telling anyone that would listen how this big bad Pitbull tried to eat her babies. I was so mad. She could not control her little pups, and it took a growl from another dog, (it had to be a pit), for her to finally control them.…

    The Pigman, written by Paul Zindel, is about two high school students who were playing a simple game that turned into something much more. Not only did it lead to endless memories, it also led to the death of a human being. John and Lorraine are both in high school, and they were playing a game with their friends Norton and Dennis. The objective was to call a random stranger, and stay on the phone for as long as possible. The group became proficient at this game as they played it very often. Lorraine just so happened to call one Mr. Pignati, a widowed man who was still as joyful a person as anyone could know. Lorraine pretended to be a charity worker, and Mr. Pignati agreed to give her and John 10 dollars if they stopped…

    I, Captain Torres, who believes that our country should have better conditions, am here to bring out a new revolution! You people, who oppose us, definitely did not think it through! Have you ever thought about your living conditions? Wouldn’t you want to improve it? Or make it a better place for all of us to live in? Look at yourself and look at people around you! Don’t you people see what’s going on in our country? Do any of you even have the mood to just smile for one second? Eight years ago, November 18, 1968, in Turkey, Richard Moses, the leader of the Turkish people in a town, brought out a revolution! It was a total success! You stupid people didn’t know about it, did you? Every single person in Turkey cheered for the dramatic change! They received good food, decent wages, ethical living conditions, and millions more! Don’t you want any of those fantastic conditions? Take some time to think about your stupid actions stopping us! Think precisely! This is actually not only for our advantages, but also for the good of everyone single person here in this town! I command all of you to listen to me and support me! You will be living in broken houses, wearing torn clothes and barely having any food supplies! So, stop complaining about foolish people. Now, do not waste my precious time! Let’s get out of here!

    Oh, great!!! How can all these be happening to me now? My asthma is starting up again. I wish my Auntie were with me; everything would be different if she was right by me. She sure would not only help me ease my difficulty in breathing but even my disappointment. I can’t believe this! How could Ralph betray me? Why did he have to tell everyone what people in school used to call me? I already told him not to tell anyone. Now, everyone is mocking me and calling me ‘Piggy’. I really thought we were already friends after I went in the water with him. But somehow I felt that not everything was perfect because he was not really speaking to me that much. If only I had learnt how to swim, maybe he could have trusted me more… maybe he would have talked to me and listened to me more… But it was my idea to use the conch shell to call the other boys! I even taught him how to use it. Why couldn’t he like me more than Jack? I really thought he was a clever boy and I guess most of us here still think he is. That’s the main reason why he got the most votes to be the island leader. We thought he could help us be organised. But I’m not sure now about my judgment. I don’t understand how he could even choose Jack to lead the hunters. Can’t he see his character? Jack is never going to be a good leader. He just won’t because he doesn’t know how to treat people with fairness and kindness. I think he doesn’t have a heart. Imagine, he just let that boy who fainted alone on the rock. If he’s got the heart of a leader, he should have done something to help that poor boy. I wonder what Ralph saw in him really. Oh, It must because he is not fat as me… I feel like I am starting to hate myself again. Asthma, fat built, less friends. I really miss my Auntie. I wish this was just a bad dream. I hope things will be ok. I hope Ralph will listen to my opinions. I really hope we can be good friends!…

    The man with fair hair kept his eyes trained on the ground as he walked, occasionally looking up to assure he was still on the right path. He glanced at his watch. It was almost noon. At the pace he was walking, he’d make it to the train station on time. He was returning to London after a brief visit back home to Manchester to visit his aunt.…

    Eulogy of Piggy

    • 900 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Piggy was a thinker, the smartest kid I’ve ever known. It’s ironic to think that of all the boys, I knew Piggy the most and I do not even know his real name. I hurt’s me to think that I did not realize Piggy’s intelligence until it was almost too late. When we first met I laughed at him and teased him. If I could go back to that first time we met I would have probably still laughed at his confession of being teased as Piggy, but I would still want to know his name. Unfortunately, I will probably never know his true name, and even if I do I will never be able to call him by it. All the time on the island I really took Piggy for granted, his thoughts, his opinions. In the back of my mind I thought they would always be there, how wrong I was to think. I remember that first day clearly, it was far before most of us had spiraled out of control. While we were still innocent and naive. Piggy had seen me and he was the first boy I met on the island. We walked along the beach and found the conch shell that soon came to symbolize our new found society. Piggy had to tell me how to use it because of his asthma. He was the only boy at school with asthma and specs. I guess Piggy was always different from everyone else. Using the conch as he told me I blew and thus a meeting was called, the first meeting. The meeting was anything but organized, yet there was Piggy taking people’s names, the only one smart enough to think of knowing how many of us there were. But even he didn’t get that far, I didn’t give him the chance too. Later on when we set a bunch of dead wood on fire using Piggy’s specs and when Piggy noticed one of the younger boys or litluns was missing, I acted uninterested though deep down I knew I had failed that boy as chief. Piggy cared though, he made sure we were all clear on that, maybe he felt guilty as it was his specs to light the flame. But whenever he had tried to make things heard he was always opposed, mainly by Jack and even myself at times. I think that…

    I am the proud owner of a little brown dog named Bruno. I rescued him from the pound while I was in high school. The pound was unsure exactly what kind of dog Bruno was, but stated he is part Dachshund. I mentioned earlier, I rescued Bruno, but in reality he rescued me. My senior year of high school was not the greatest time for me, but owning Bruno got me through it. At the time, I just broke up with my high school “sweetheart” so to my immature young mind, I thought the world was coming to an end and I would never find someone else. Whether it was taking Bruno for walks, or trying to teach him new tricks he kept my mind occupied. I was given the responsibility to take care of him. I made sure he had all of his shots and there was fresh food and water for him. Until he was house broken, I was responsible to clean up after him. By being responsible for another being, it keeps a person centered not always thinking about themselves and their needs.…

    Studies prove that animals therapy and service animals can improve a person’s emotional health. Jodie and Arthur Toms, parents of ten children, have seen first-hand the powerful impact animals can have on a young person. Their son has always loved being outside with animals so they decided to buy him an inside friend, Scooby, then all of a sudden he started to smile again, then they brought their sheep up onto the verandah so he could play with them, the odd chicken and duck. The more their son was able to play with his animals the more his cheeky smiles would return. Mrs. Toms stated, “The animals keep him calm... we started learning to sign the animals on the farm with him and he is now starting to use verbal language again” (Cassidy).…

    Pets for the Elderly

    • 825 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Most people in the English language have heard the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While that very well may, or may not, be true—what about pets? Wouldn’t it be better if that Granny Smith were a Husky puppy? If that Delicious Red were a fluffy, gray kitten who purrs in your lap? Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not condoning eating the family pet, but instead supporting the idea that owning an animal can help your, and your family’s health. In 1999, people who were of the age 65 and older made up a little over 12% of the US population. Thirteen years later, that number is probably much higher. Pets, be it a cat, dog, rabbit, or even a hedgehog, can make a positive change in both the physical and mental health of the elderly. In the next few minutes, I will address the following: pets being able to help the elderly feel like they’re more connected to the world around them instead of just feeling isolated like most might in their small homes, pets being able to help improve and maintain their mental stability, as well as what one would need to keep in mind when getting a pet for an elderly loved one. As one begins to transition into an ‘elderly state’, occasionally a concern of feeling unwanted is present.…
