Peace
Now, God be thanked who has matched us with his hour,
And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping!
With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power,
To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping,
Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary;
Leave the sick hearts that honor could not move,
And half-men, and their dirty songs and dreary,
And all the little emptiness of love!
Oh! we, who have known shame, we have found release there,
Where there’s no ill, no grief, but sleep has mending,
Naught broken save this body, lost but breath;
Nothing to shake the laughing heart’s long peace there,
But only agony, and that has ending;
And the worst friend and enemy is but Death.

Meter, Pacing. Does it have a pattern of beats? does it speed up? does it slow down?

Diction how sophisticated? how diverse?

Thursday work
Hey gang,
Today you organise and start writing your two paragraphs about your chosen aspects of your chosen monologue.
Organise your work quietly and efficiently. Have both outlined and one finished by Monday please (yes it's homework if it's not completed).
Quick reminder:
Two examples of your chosen aspect for each paragraph.
ie: Paragraph 1 - two examples of the use of repetition in the USS Indianapolis monologue (bomb, eyes)
Paragraph 2 - two examples of tone in the USS Indianapolis monologue ("anyways, we delivered the bomb," "that's when I was most afraid")
