Review
Is This An Overview?
Boys caught up in the novelty of the
Wild West. Interest that overrides the
lessons they are meant to receive.
Interest that gets them to skip school to play as if they are in the
Wild West. While playing, the boys have
an encounter, with a person who gives them a monologue. A monologue that changes what they
think. A monologue that begins a change
in how the boys interact, and their futures.
What was the monologue about?
