    The narrator is still seen as an outsider in their new community where they have not lived long. Although a shopkeeper mistook their name, calling them by the wrong name of Jason/Mary, the narrator finds it nice to be acknowledged. The narrator has a tough life, made harder by caring for their younger sister who sees them as a parent figure due to the absence of their real father/mother. However, the narrator remains hopeful that in time they will feel like they belong and exist within their new community.

    Monologue 6

    I haven’t lived here for very long. People still call me the “new one”. The “stranger” or
    “vreemdeling”. I still don’t really belong, but Uncle Harry from the shop across the road did call me
    Jason(/Mary) the other day.

    My name isn’t Jason (/Mary), it’s John (/Melissa). But still it was nice. I greeted back. He waved…
    now he thinks that’s my name.

    Anyway.

    Nobody really knows my life, how tough it is out here. I have a younger sister. She calls me Dad
    (/Mom) sometimes. Probably because her real daddy (/mommy) isn’t worth that title.

    But it’s fine. It’s all good. Because at the end of this tunnel, there’s a light. A glimmer of something
    new and exciting. And even if I should never reach it, or reach it only in my dreams. The hope is still
    there…

    And soon I won’t be “vreemdeling” anymore… I’ll belong… I’ll exist.

    Even if it is with a name like Jason (/Mary).
