I'm an IB student and I have my IOP (individual oral presentation) for English Lit (HL). I really need help with writing a monologue for Jimmy's immediate reaction to Oryx's and Crake's death. I'm really confused. Don't know how to start n go on.

How long does the monologue have to be?
In your own words (ten or fewer), what was Jimmy's immediate reaction to their death?
It hs to be about 1500 words.. Have you read the book?

I hereby unsubscribe to this question. You don't want help; you want someone to write this for you.
Well.. honestly? I'm reading it NOW.. hvnt got there yet, the point is I'm really behind cz we've discussd it at class already..
Oh n NO, I don't want that... I want help, cz I'm out of time, I AM reading the book, just panicking cz I behind, and my IOP is in a week..
But Thnak You anyway.. When I finish if You can help, I'd really appreciate that.
I''ll just let you know when I'm done.. im on section 6
Well... I finished the book. Personally I think, though I'm not so sure.. it comes as a shockto jimmy, because the chapter ends on "Jimmy shot him." so its like a momentary edning.. I don't think he was mourning much about Crake though.. he was to some extent.. but there he's a bit angry at him.. but again.. im rily bad at this kind of stuf.. im rily not sure if the way I perceive the characters is right..
I suggest you now make an outline for your monologue. Once you have an outline, you can begin to flesh it out with details. You might want to keep in mind the parallels with the Creation story in the Bible. Also, Crake's real name is Glenn, after Glenn Gould, a famous pianist, and Crake has Asperger's syndrome, thus his being a brilliant geneticist/mad scientist. (Did you ever watch the TV sitcom, Big Bang Theory?)
Here's a summary of the book, chapter by chapter --
Casebook - Oryx and Crake
and a critique --

Oryx and Crake - Alien_wiki
Thnk You a lot, but does it mention in the book that Crake has that syndrom? And a question.. do you think Jimmy killed crake in shock n like got a shock after realising what he did? Or was he angry at crake n killed him understanding the situation as much as he could.. n didn't regret it at first..
No, the Asperger's is not mentioned in the book. Atwood does mention that Crake's real name is Glenn, and he was named after a famous pianist who has Asperger's -- as does Crake (i.e. the mad scientist stuff) -- a parallel.
Tell me -- why did Jimmy kill Crake?Quote:

Cz crake slit oryx's throat...
I'm guessing for Jimmy to shoot him.
Well.. I need to write approx. 1500 words of monologue and 1500 words of rationale for the monologue.. explaining the techniques.. why did I do what I did, why did the author present it in that way.. blah.blah.. but it has to be very concentrated and detailed
This is due on Monday?
Did you make an outline yet?
I'm not sure I understand the rationale part.
