Commentary: Different?

The school text is a monologue and inspired by cardinal early(a) somas of texts. Alan Bennetts talk Heads and (to a lesser extent) a text I find by Carol Ann Duffy c all in alled Comprehensive. It is present in the AQA English Language and Literature Anthology for 2003, 2004, 2005.The take of the text is as a mean of entertaining an audience of a younger age (possibly in between the ages of 12-18) that be aw be of the groups of people concerned (who ar usually teenagers themselves) and withal of their colloquialisms. This targets to the highest degreely those who ar affected or annoyed by these types of people within their daily lives. (People in the Birmingham argona of this age are much than than wish wellly to understand the dialect). A mortal that fits into this category should hopefully find that the text is true to real life, and excessively kinda am using.The enchantment begins as unrivaledness of Alan Bennetts Talking Heads would. As his works were written with the assurance that they would be visual for a reflection audience as swell up as just for a hearing audience, he wrote, what could be referred to as stage directions in italics at the top of each monologue. I consent d iodin this also as I think it sets the scene well and perhaps glide bys a centering more instruction about each character. The euphony genre of the piece (monologue) does non really confine me in terms of the subject matter or layout but I feel that its genre is evident from merely viewing the layout and mayhap reading the first paragraph.I did not feel it suitable for any soulfulness to greet the audience, as they would be talk to a camera and not a person. This also would not aid me in any stylus when upchuckting across my attitudes. Instead I continued straight into two characters speeches as a marrow of do the passage run more smoothly.There is not just a single attitude that I am trying to get across in writing this text but they a re all linked in that my complaints all refer to the groups known to me and many others as greebos and Kevs. I have attempted to relieve these two groups of peoples attitudes (as I see it as an outsider looking in) towards their own lives and, more importantly, to each other. I have also made clear role of get into with each person to show the att closinger how confusing some of the twit that teenagers usance today is and how the verbiage varies between the contrastive groups (i.e. unitary would rarely hear a greebo say the word wicked unless it were as a means of imitating a kev). I have tried to show how witty some of the address and phrases used sound, and in some cases, how they make no wizard whatsoever, for example, the names of these groups al oneness are slimly confusing and do not give us any clue as to what it means to be a segment of these groups. Even though I am familiar with these groups, I do not know where their group names or the language they use is d erived from.They have some(prenominal) somehow managed to inherit a kind of boss description, which everyone can refer to if either the word greebo or Kev is used. Part of the pass on that I am trying to put across is trying to, explain that most Kevs and greebos do not fit their sort description at all. For example, according to tom turkey, dump and his kind do not like the risque of football, what kind of a person doesnt like football?, when clearly Jack states that he has got a season ticket for metropolis and he enjoys going to the games.Filthy ice get outta BrumBopping around in their everywherestrung PsTom and Jack speak in an informal manner (shown above), as if they are public lecture to a friend kinda of in a more nonpersonal way. They some(prenominal) presume that the listener understands the slang that they use. I felt that if they didnt do this, indeed my attitude towards the language that they use would await less obvious. Despite their supposed initial feelings of being comfortable talking at a camera, towards the end of both monologues the boys both seem to feel threatened after arriving at the subject of befri finale a phallus of the opposite group. At this point thither are a lot of pelf and stutterings marked by , and finally evidently as a means of get away both come to an abrupt end and what looks like a farewell without an exposition of where they have to rush off to and why they have to go wherever they are going so quicklyIn reality, the stereotype greebo is exactly as the kev describes and the stereotype kev is exactly how Jack describes, but their minds do not seem to be bluff enough or able to pick up the concept that not all of the opponent group are like this. If what Tom Foster believes were true then on that point would not be many greebos existing to get exasperated about because presumptively they will have all sever their wrists. Only in extreme cases but are their faces covered in piercings and no t all of them despise football (as I have shown using Jack). The greebo that I have used in my monologue does not give us any narrate that he worships Satan either patronage what the kev believes and the kev is even in a blood with a greebo despite this being against his ethics.When talking about Eminem, (a medicinal drug artist ordinary with both groups) Jack refers to him as one of us. When he says this the listener would reckon what he means by us even though he gives us no clue as to what it means. This shows that he knows that he is part of a group (the greebos) and by say that he is one of them is a way of making his medicine provided acceptable for them to listen to rather than Kevs, and as he continues he explains that Kevs listen to his euphony for the wrong reasons almost saying that they should not be permitted to listen to it. cos lettuce theyll get thinking that he is one of them These greebos sicken me. These quotes show that they talk smooth on each other as if they were somehow of a lower clear and referring to each other as them gives a feeling of hostility even though they are so similar in many ways. The only real difference of opinion is in the clothes that they wear and the music that they listen to.Although it may seem that I have exaggerated the amount of propagation that both Tom and Jack use slang I assure you this is no exaggerationHes the only safe one. The word safe is just one of the slang words used by Jack in his monologue. If he were using Standard English then he would have said He is the only one that is trustworthy and that I like.I emphasise the separate groups pronunciation of words as a means of making the monologues appear more like offhanded speech as (if the piece were to be acted out as it should be) this would be the way I would want the actors to speak. I also tried to do this by ever-changing the subject abruptly in assorted places throughout the monologues.i.e. . Its never about the music with them, ju st baselines and how tweaked the snare drum is, any(prenominal) that means.So anyway, we decided that they were takin over too much in Birmingham soThey accuse and criticise each other for doing the same things while oblivious to the accompaniment that meanwhile members of the opposite group are accusing them of doing the same thing. For example, Jack says Its never about the music with them while ahead on in Toms monologue he says, We go for the music, not to get wasted This insinuates of rail line that it is never about the music for greebos either. If we took both peoples word for it then neither of them listens to music because they want to listen to music. I dont though and find these accusations preposterous.I believe the way in which each person ends the conversation. The language that they both use is comedic and further helps me to demand how both groups rather weird renewal of the English language baffles me. Despite this, ending their monologues in the ways that they do sums up both characters.
