Hi, I've just been assigned an english project where I have to create a 5 min. monologue through the perspective other than that of the protagonist, Gregor Samsa. Being that this is my first attempt in writing a monologue, I'm having issues starting. I'm planning on writing through the perspective of Grete Samsa from chapter three till the end. I'm not sure whether I write it as if I'm reflecting back on what had happened or as if I'm presently going through the story? Any feedback would be great, thanks.
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka - Monologue

You are procrastinating! :-)
I think you know that you can choose either of those. This is a creative assignment. So... that is why I think subconsciously you are procrastinating. That happens to me, too.
And it is okay if you have never written one of these. Just think of it as a speech! Before you begin, google this:
Gregor Samsa character analysis
That will help you to know what feelings and ideas you want to "speak" about.
Good luck!!
Thanks for the helpful advice, unfortunately I didn't receive it before the assignment was due, but I still got a fairly good grade for my speech. (:
I realized it was just a speech that needed to show a lot of emotion to really connect with the character and just have some specific details relating to the book. Next time I'll have a better preparation for this kind of assignment thanks to you.(:

Well, I don't think I really gave much help. Congratulations on the successful assignment. I'm glad you are participating here; please help some people with their essays sometimes, and let us help you again when we can.
