I'm going to be Hermes for our Monologue in CAE class. I had a hard time writing my script and I hope this is alright. This goes more or less one minute. I'm going to perform on Tuesday already and I'm kinda nervous. I have to practice more!
"This is unfair! I’m a god just like the rest of them but I
always get the grunt work, the mindless labor, and I never say a word! I get up
early then I spend the whole day rushing Zeus’ messages back and forth, up and
down. It’s not enough that I’m busy all day delivering Zeus’ proclamations, the
dead must have their share of me too. Oh, I remember that time when daddy Zeus
sent me on a mission to save Persephone from the underworld! That was an extremely
creepy journey. Then when I went all the way to get there, Hades wouldn’t give
in! So I had to think fast and make a deal. And yeah, I guess Demeter was cool
with it. If you were in my place, I’m sure you would find my job pretty hard.
So that’s me, Hermes! The son of Zeus and Maia. The messenger of the gods and
leads the souls of the dead into the afterlife. Now you’ve heard my story in
Greek Mythology, let’s see what story I can bring to your time today as your
modern-day mailman! Better check your mailboxes!"
