QuotePost Options Post by Mercedes Vargas on about an hour ago
The scene opens and we view the pavement before the camera pans up to view Mercedes Vargas, who is actually standing outside of her apartment on this rather cold day in Queens, New York. Bundled up in winter clothing, the Argentine Assassin proudly sports the Queen of AESOP World Championship over her shoulder. From her reaction, she is in a rather good mood following the events of the last Battlegrounds show in Cleveland, Ohio. Mercedes opens her mouth, but can't quite find the words to say here. She closes it quickly for a second and starts to rubs her gloved hands together. She gives a small smile and lowers her eyes, breaking contact with the camera and perhaps needing that second or two to gather her thoughts. After a moment or two, she raises her head again and raises her index finger as a cue to begin, but nothing comes out. A chuckle this time and a hair toss seems to shake her out of this hibernation. She vows silently that she was ready.

Mercedes: Ooooooh, looks like Mercedes is in trouble now! This is the part where I get sent to the principal's office, right? No, wait, we're past that. This is the part where I'm going to be punished, right? Well, okay. I see how this is going to be.

She tosses her hair back a second time.

Mercedes: After what I did to Honey Rydell, it would be a divine miracle if she even makes it to her home country this next show for the Lights of Aurora tournament. Heather Burnside, I'm sure, is probably loving this as she probably has an easy win in her match against her. I don't know, maybe I went a (holds up a "this close" gesture with her index and thumb) little too far in the main event steel cage with Honey there, and for that ...

... middle of paper ...

... mocks Gwen's voice) "broken down has-been." Well, (looks down slightly and smiles before looking back up again), you might be a little bit younger and think that you're faster and clever then I give you credit for, but I might be a little bit older than you and your sister, but I'm definitely (tapping at her temple with an index finger) smarter and wiser, honey. Just remember that when you are staring up at the arena lights to this "has been".

Mercedes stands to her feet as she rakes a hand through her hair. She turns and picks up her title, and places it over her shoulder before looking at the camera.

Mercedes: So, uh, I guess that's it then. Gwen, Charlotte, I'll see you girls this Friday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. And Vickie? I'll be seeing you as well. Good luck.

The scene fades as Mercedes walks off and we fade to black.

    A feminist lens analyzes how the female characters and their experiences are presented and explained in comparison to male characters (Lincoln School Providence).

  • The Double Play Monologue

    343 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the poem “The Double Play”, the author uses metaphors, words, and phrases to suggest turning a double play in baseball is like a dance. Some words throughout the poem could be used to connect the idea of a double play being like dancing. One word that could suggest this is, the word used “poised”, “Its flight to the running poised second baseman” (12). Poised in this sense could mean that the player knows what he is doing and has mastered the double play, while a dancer can be poised meaning light and graceful. Another word in this poem that relate to a double play and dancing is the term “pirouettes”, “Pirouettes / leaping, above the slide, to throw” (13-14). The player is described to be doing a pirouette in the double play while in the

  • Women in Sport: “Sacrificing the womanly attributes we admire”

    1337 Words  | 3 Pages

    Do I sacrifice my ‘womanly attributes’ by making the choice to ski down a mountain with a 3000+ vertical drop, while traveling at 50-60 mph? Does my choice to do squats and engage in strength training, or my desire to do 300 sit-ups each night in order to achieve a six-pack, make me less of a woman? Is it odd that I do not enjoy displaying polite, ladylike behavior during every second of my existence? I do not think so. Society today would not exactly agree either, yet society today is far different from the early 1920’s. Today, the desirable female body image is not necessarily a thin, dainty woman. At some point in history, though, something went terribly wrong. Women were conditioned to drink tea and mingle socially over snacks while knitting. The progression for women in sports has been slow, and women still have a long way to go in order to achieve the towering status of men’s sport. Although times have changed since the 1920’s, women continue to struggle with issues of the past—the notion of “mannishness” and the characteristics that compose the ideal female athlete.

  • The Feminist Play Lysistrata

    1886 Words  | 4 Pages

    Feminism is defined as the advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of social, political, and economic equality to men. Feminism plays a major role in hundreds of cultures, as it raises attention to civil liberties of women across the globe. Feminists generally seek to bring about change by fighting for what they believe in, and are often considered to have personal strength and integrity (Feminism). The feminism theory applies within Greek culture. This portrayed through the feminist play Antigone and the non-feminist play Lysistrata. In the Classical Greece era, feminism was a laughing stock to the male audience, and even male playwrights. However, we can find evidence otherwise in today’s studies. First let’s dive into Lysistrata. Lysistrata

    As I sit here with my eyes closed, I imagine a tropical breeze. The warm wet air slides over my face. The humidity seems almost heavy enough to crush me. As I take a deep breath, the realization that this is no tropical air comes crashing in. Instead of the refreshing scent of the ocean, or tropical plants, the taste of salt from sweat and a smell of the human body fill my lungs. The daydream is over. A shrill whistle sounds and the voice of coach Chuck booms through out the room, breaking the peace that was comforting the pain in my shoulder and bringing me back to reality. I was not on some humid island paradise, but rather in the explosive atmosphere of the Hotchkiss High School wrestling room.

  • Dramatic Monologue

    1554 Words  | 4 Pages

    When discussing the poetic form of dramatic monologue it is rare that it is not associated with and its usage attributed to the poet Robert Browning. Robert Browning has been considered the master of the dramatic monologue. Although some critics are skeptical of his invention of the form, for dramatic monologue is evidenced in poetry preceding Browning, it is believed that his extensive and varied use of the dramatic monologue has significantly contributed to the form and has had an enormous impact on modern poetry. "The dramatic monologues of Robert Browning represent the most significant use of the form in postromantic poetry" (Preminger and Brogan 799). The dramatic monologue as we understand it today "is a lyric poem in which the speaker addresses a silent listener, revealing himself in the context of a dramatic situation" (Murfin 97). "The character is speaking to an identifiable but silent listener at a dramatic moment in the speaker's life. The circumstances surrounding the conversation, one side which we "hear" as the dramatic monologue, are made by clear implication, and an insight into the character of the speaker may result" (Holman and Harmon 152).
