Can you suggest a good dramatic monologue which my brother can do for his high school acting exam?

Sure.

Let me tell you this-- /r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and Gamergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslighting lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that /r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.

Right, I think I should try elsewhere... Thanks all the same...

Are you rejecting my hard work?

All the effort I put into this powerful narration to help your brother out?

How rude!

I am offened.

Here ya go:

BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF EQUESTRIA, BRONIES AND PEGASISTERS OF MY LITTLE PONY. We are tired of these Anti-bronies always trying to push us down, we are tired of getting teased for likeing a children show, yeah it is a children show, but it is the most famous tv show, so famous even grown ups like it! we will not sit around and see all the haters hate on our fellow ponies, we will not go silent into the night like nightmare moon, but speak loud and proud like princess luna, anti - bronies say they are "ashamed" how we tainted the human blood with our love for such a show, but guess what, we are one of the worlds biggest fandoms and we will not be silenced like king sombra, we will not back down without a fight like princess celestia, we will spread love like princess cadence, because we have friendship on our side like the mane six, while there are rapist and child abusers out there, we continue to grow and purify the ones who have lost their path, because we are the true sons and daughters of my little pony, and we will never ever surrender! post this on all my little pony videos you can find, spread the word for we will be victorias in the fight against bronies/pegasisters and anti - bronies!

Here's an actual suggestion:

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

I believe that Hank Hill is one the most complex and realistic characters in Animation. Although on the surface he appears to be nothing more than a redneck, if you actually watch the show and read between the lines, he's a lot more.

Hank Hill, and by extension King of The Hill as a whole, is at its core about showing that one group is not always right, and one group is not always wrong. It's not just blind Liberal bashing by some angry Texans, or angsty Liberal bawwing like Family Guy, it's somewhere in the middle.

Hank is a man who represents traditional family values. He works a just-above blue collar job, has an ugly wife, and a kid he fails to understand. He enjoys working on his lawn, grilling, and selling propane (and propane accessories).

because he represents traditional values, he often butts heads with newer, more liberal ideas. Now about half the time, he will have a hard time adjusting, but ultimately realize that it isn't that bad, or is even correct. But the other half of the time, he exposes it for the bullshit it is and tries to save those who have been brainwashed.

And that's the thing, Hank isn't a racist or Homophobe, or even a devout Republican. If that was the point of the show, he would have voted for Bush in that one episode. No, Hank is a good man who just has a hard time adjusting.

Hank stands by his family, his friends, and his family values, and this is why he is a good character. He has a hard time understanding his son, like a lot of parents, but ultimately loves him and accepts him for what he is.

When you really get down to it, Hank is so much more than your average sitcom father. Unlike the bumbling Homer, he is a very real man who many people can relate to THEIR fathers. he is the next progression in mature cartoons and sitcoms, a complex character, not a 1 dimensional caricature.

In short, he is the Average Joe the typical person represents, and that's a good thing.

Did you come up with this?
