Keystone XL Pipeline Monologue Project

Introduction:

This project is about creating a monologue on whether should the Keystone Pipeline should be built or should it not be built. We have to choose three characters or made up character that talks about the keystone pipeline. The keystone pipeline is a pipe that travel from Canada to Texas. We gather quotes from websites and videos to support our monologues. During class, we had a class discussion on what mades a monologue strong. 
For an example:
- Setting
- Object 
- Tone of voice
- Staying in character 
- ETC.
I did my monologues basic on three type of characters that are involve in this Keystone Pipeline. One of my character agree with the Keystone Pipeline. The other one disagree on the Keystone pipeline and the last one is deciding whether he should disagree or agree. When we finalize our project, we have to created a video for one of our monologue. From this project, I learn that this Keystone Pipeline should not be built because it is damaging thousands of people home. Also, it will increased health problems from breathing unhealthy air. Health problem can lead to budge. Budge can lead to thousands of people forming together to takes down the Keystone Pipeline. Another way of saying this is when they build the Keystone Pipeline, more people are going to try to take down the keystone pipeline and when they take it back down it's a waste of 7 billions dollars. 

(Holding a mic)

Obama!

If you can hear me.

I’m outside the white house.

Pointing.

Do you see me?

You hear this sound.

You can tell how much we want this pipeline destroy

It’s not just me

I pretty sure that no one want to breath this toxic air.

Unless,

You want to die.

Not trying to be mean

But.

We need oil.

We can’t away rely on Mexico.

In the last decade,

Their oil had fallen to 600 thousand barrel

Our pipeline is safe.

We will make sure that it is built correctly.

Okay?

So why don’t you just back up.

And let us build this pipeline.

It’s that simple.

It’s cheap.

And a reliable energy.

Duh!

Saying no to this brilliant idea.

Must mean you are stupid.

Did you see our record Bill Mckibben?.

It was stated that.

Transcanada claim that it’s building the safest pipeline ever

And plus.

Why are you so concern?

If there is a leak.

Our system will stop this immediately before it reach the water.

Or should I say.

Before a drop of oil met the water.

That’s why I said.
