This happens because Phoenix has entered its old age, where factors such as senility, dementia, or stroke are the reasons why he often talks to himself.

<h2>Further explanation </h2>

A monologue is a conversation carried out by one person or a single figure with himself.

Etymologically, the term "Monologue" comes from the Greek language, namely:

  • Mono, which means one
  • Legein, which means talking

So, the understanding of a monologue is a person who is talking to himself. Monologue conversation can be done by a character with himself through a mirror, or a conversation with himself in the heart that sounds.

Monologues function as an affirmation of a character's wishes or expectations about something. Monologues can be emotional, remorseful, or wishful.

The following is one example of a sad monologue text:

<em>This feeling is always the same for you Mother, all love and sincerity. Things will never seem simple to me, but you are sincere and think that everything is as simple as you see. </em>

<em>Mother, your son really wants to be the best in your life. Mother, your son is eager to be the one you are proud of. Mother, your son really wants to be by your side forever. </em>

<u><em>Phoenix Jackson is a character of  “ A Worn Path” written by Eudora Welty , the author describes her as an old woman with a mission: get to the town to find the medicine that her grandson desperately needs.  </em></u>

<u><em>Actually, her grandson's throat was not working and nobody is there except Phoenix Jackson and her sick grandson. </em></u>

<u><em>She decides to go and on the way to town, she speaks to herself going through various problems till she arrived there.  Finally she brings medicine and returns back home.  </em></u>

<u><em>She is mentally disturbed because of her grandson's throat problem and so she often talks herself on the way to the town an we can say that if Phoenix didn't continue in a running dialogue with herself, the reader wouldn't understand the message and so the story comes from her monologues. </em></u>

<u><em> Infact we know about her poor condition of old age, greed for money, love for grandson and courage. Her monologue, her attitude toward life, make clear that her story is a story of  unconscious heroism too. </em></u>

What is the theme of Against School by John Taylor Gatto
Sphinxa [80]
<span>Gatto: An aura of paranoia seems to pervade Gatto’s angry, impressioned plea for changes to America’s educational system; as part of his argument, he tries to convince us that we are pawns in a gigantic plot. Gatto identifies with the students whose lives, he believes, have been ruined by some monstrous entity-“corporate society”? ----that tries to grind children down until they become docile, robotic creatures. His presentation-particularly toward the end-is facile and ideological; it can be hard to accept his unexplained, unsupported assertions. For example, is the purpose of tracking students necessarily the elimination of the inferior ones, or can one interpret it as one way of maintaining a meritocracy? A good summary should refer to Gatto’s scattershot method of argument. One might also question the accuracy of his paraphrases. Inglis’s list of educational purposes, for example, might be presented quite differently by a more conservative commentator. It is a loaded topic.</span>

A cousin of yours in ss2 is discovered to be pregnant and her father has threatened to send her out of the house. Write a letter
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Letter to an uncle to pacify him from acting harshly against his daughter who's pregnant while still a school girl.

Explanation:

Parkland Avenue

New Jersey

15 May 2010

My dear uncle,

I know this must be a hard time for you to even listen to anyone but I request you to kindly hear out what I am about to say. I hope you will not stop reading until you reach the last word, and maybe it will help you clear your mind, even if only a bit.

I have heard of my cousin’s pregnancy and I also know it must have been a shock and even an embarrassing situation. But I can say that it is not an embarrassing situation nor is it something to be ashamed about. Of course, getting pregnant that young is something unthinkable and also unaccepted by her but whatever's happened is done. We can't change anything nor can we just regret and wish time goes back. What we need now is to move forward and find the best solution for everyone involved.

I know your first reaction must have been of shock and anger at her but driving her out of the house won't help. It will only drive a deeper gap between the two of you and she will feel abandoned when she needed to support the most. It will obviously be scary enough for her, and added to that, her family's deserting her. The only people supposed to support her are the ones turning her away, which will be heartbreaking. Please, make sure that she doesn’t feel rejected and unloved when she needed love and support from the people she love the most. You are and will always be family to each other and nothing can change that, even if you kick her out of the house or disown her. She has your blood and she’’ always be your family no matter what happens.

But Uncle, let's think reasonably. If you take her, assure her and stand by her side, she will find it even more comforting and loved. She will know the depth of your love for her and she will learn a valuable lesson of how a parent is at times like this. Your actions will be the precedent for her future relationship with her child. Moreover, when people will criticize her, having you by her side will ensure and comfort her in knowing that she has all she needs to be safe and happy. She will rediscover the value of family and you will also gain a grandchild.

Uncle, it is my hope and prayer that you do not reject her but rather, be accepting of her and forgive her. She's just a child who needs her parents to help her guide at this difficult time. So, please, be there for her and her child.

I will be waiting for better news from you and will visit as soon as I can.

Lots of love,

Brenda.
