Well for drama (Year 9) we had to write a monologue that related to the "Hero’s Journey". Now mine is a monologue relating to the "Call for Adventure", where the hero is called upon to go save the world. Anyway, I kind of wrote this at 11:00pm because my homework load has been ridiculous and I have had no time to perfect my drama, so if it sucks, please feel free to say so:
Don’t you just hate it when people interrupt your relaxation time? Whilst I, Freda Freezington, am a hero, I also need my own "alone" time to get away from the repercussions of a superhero lifestyle. Unfortunately, most people tend to disregard this because of my occupation and they babble on about their numerous problems that I am expected to fix. And hey, I don’t have a problem with this, just as long as you don’t annoy me during vacation time. Regrettably though, the world doesn’t stop working to benefit me, and this particular call for help, involving a problem that had been occurring for two years previous, couldn’t possibly wait another two days…
Now, my particular supernatural abilities are in high demand, because not many heroes can say they have the power to change the weather and freeze whatever they like… especially when they’re frustrated or annoyed.
So for a nice change in scenery, I decided to take a vacation to the Caribbean, and stay on the tropical island of Bora Bora. One week later, people where desperately fleeing the area due to a chaotic snowstorm.
Now, of course snowstorms don’t generally occur during the Summer season, let alone on tropical islands. But the arrival of an official from some organisation asking for MY HELP during MY VACATION TIME had extremely annoyed me.
However, I had to admit that what “Mister Official Man” had to say was too important even for my vacation time. Apparently due to global warming, the Antarctic Ice caps were melting at a very dangerous rate, and if the effects were not reversed soon, the sea level would continue to rise and cause catastrophic problems for a number of island nations.
And I of course being a sucker for environmental issues meant that the very next day the snow storm stopped, and I was in Antarctica re-freezing the ice caps. Hey, it wasn’t a complete solution but at least it postponed the problem. Despite what I said about relaxation time, I’ll never be too busy for saving the world.
