Twirler - Martin

This monologue establishes voice almost immediately. She jumps right into her story and starts from where her twirling all began. The voice speaking is excited and proud. She talks about how good she was at twirling and her accomplishments. It's a summary of her career. The writing contains lots of pauses created by the commas. This imitates someone speaking as they would have to pause to take breaths. The grammar is also not correct, also making the monologue more speech-like. The fast speed reminds me of an excited child telling a story. The inconsistencies also remind me of a child speaking. She mentions how her hand was crushed by a horse and took her away from her highest level of twirling making me wonder how great she really was. Either way, she has an absurd amount of confidence in her skill and I applaud her for that.
