Publisher's Synopsis
In this second monologue on the same topic, the actual words spoken by David are identical, and yet the 'message' is strikingly different. What is your take on David's position on his appointment this time through? What non-verbals can you cite to back up you claim? It is not immediately apparent that the text is the same here, as the meaning conveyed is drastically different. Phrases that previously carried heavily negative connotations are now expressions of exuberant gratitude for a development for which he has apparently been waiting a long time. Notice how this excerpt both feels much shorter and also times-out shorter, despite the same number of words spoken.
