Becoming Ms.Marvel
A press conference is being held in honor of Ms.Marvel’s recent achievement, rescuing the mayor of Jersey City from a flaming building.Then, one interviewer asks Kama- I mean Ms.Marvel a interesting question. How did you become the person you are today?
Kamala Khan- Wow! Thats actually a great question. Well, to begin answering this question I just want to say that I had a rough start. You all are probably thinking “how could she have a rough start? She’s a super hero. She has powers.”I gotta tell ya, it wasn’t easy peasy lemon squeezy like most of you think being a super hero is. These powers were just given to me as if I was the chosen one; the chosen one to make things right again. And I was in a stage in my life where I was still figuring out who I am and who Im becoming. Yes , by the looks of it I am a Pakistani girl and I’m young too. When I first gained my powers, I was having some difficulties controlling them. For example, I would try to embiggen myself, but instead I would turn small. Or even when I wasn’t trying to do a super power, my body and apperance would tweak out of control. Do any of you know why it was so hard to control my powers in the beginning? NO YOU DON’T AND YOU KNOW WHY YOU DON’T KNOW? BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW ME AND GUESS WHAT? At that time I didn’t know myself either. When I started gaining control over my powers, it wasn’t because of practice or a super hero mentor. My dad and the Quran are the main reasons I was brought to my senses. My father told me that my real name means perfection and that I don’t have to be anyone but myself. and everytime I thought of my father’s words, I stopped overthinking and had confidence and I would be able to complete my missions or rescues. THIS IS WHAT HELPED ME CONTROL MY POWERS. I would turn small by accident because thats how I was feeling…. small. Remembering quotes that my dad would say when he saw carnage on tv such as, “Whoever kills one person, its as if he has killed mankind…. And whoever saves one person, its as if they saved MANKIND.” This made me feel better and made me want to help and save people. I would like to thank all of you for honoring me but really you all should be honoring yourselves for always being yourself. Don’t ever think that you have to impersonate someone else or another lifestyle to impress anyone. BEING YOURSELF IMPRESSES EVERYONE THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY EVERYONE.
Ms.Marvel! Ms.Marvel!
I will not be taking no further questions.
- How do you feel about this monologue?
- Should I add or get rid of some details?
- does my monologue fully correspond with the comic and Kampala’s character? if not tell me what needs to get fixed.
- is there any writing decisions I could’ve made? for example pauses, punctuation, or add movement as if you can visualize it.
1) I like your whole concept the idea of an press conference is really interesting and different I like how you really expressed how Kamala was feeling throughout the questions
2) You should maybe add one of the scenes from the comic that connects to one of her answers to the question
3) I think it does correspond with the monologue, we can sense her really expressing her emotions about what happened to her when she got the powers.
4) Just add a scene where the audience can picture what happened and can even add on how they will or would’ve felt.
