My Monologue So Far...

 Life in the west isn’t a very easy one. But daddy always told me to just suck it up. So I did. Well, at least I think I did. Lots of stuff happened before ya’ll showed up. Daddy always told me to never to talk to people like you; that you would take me away from momma, daddy, Little Mikey, and Bobo. Well, now that he’s not here, I guess I could tell you. But Daddy’s not going to be very happy when he finds out that I told ya’ll. Well, I guess I should start from the very day that I was born which was April 17, 1987. I remember because every year, I would be allowed to go outside and play with Bobo in the field. It always happened on the same day every year, and it was the only day during the year that I was allowed outside. I was born in the back of the barn, little Mikey would tell me. He was about 15 years old when I came along. He told me that momma was alone in the barn, and then came out with me wrapped in an old blanket. She named me Bessie after her favorite milking cow. But, my daddy never called me Bessie. He didn’t like the name that momma gave me. So he just called me little bitch…

It isn't close to being finished because the story hasn't really progressed. This is really just the introduction. Hopefully when someone reads this, they will hint towards the father being abusive and of a broken home. In the body of this monologue will talk about the father beating her mother to death and also shooting her older brother Little Mickey.  I am slightly worried about this monologue getting longer than 2 minutes and I don't want it to just drag on. I may have to make some cuts to the intro in order to leave enough room for the story to develop and conclude, even though the conclusion will be very short. I want the speaker of this monologue, who is a young girl, to sound very innocent and to be unaware that what her father is doing to her and her family is horribly wrong. And that the audience will immediately feel a hatred towards the father for his abusive treatment of his family. But, then again, I want to somehow 'justify' his actions by somehow incorporating how he did not know any better...I don't think I will have enough time during my presentation to add this bit, but it is what I would like to have written in my final monologue. But if needed, I will cut it short for the sake of the time restriction of this assignment.
