The play is a collection of characters who deliver monologues throughout the course of the show. The purpose of the show is to show how different events in history reflect the present day. These monologues represent powerful events in human history. 

My monologue is about a survivor of the battle of the Alamo. I show how an experience like that changes your perspective of the world. It also shows that when living in hard circumstances, you adapt and find a different way to feel like you are at home.

 I'm John. I survived the siege on the Alamo, in 1836. I'm a Texan, born and bred. When you have a childhood like mine, you learn to love your country. Because that's all you have. I was born at the US-Mexico border, at the turn of the century. My mother died a few months after I was born. Cholera got to her before my father could. Him? He died of hanging when I was 14. I don’t feel too bad, seeing as he was a bad father and an even worse thief. Anyways, when I was 14, I went and started to work on a ranch. Bought me a cabin, got a horse, and some decent food by 23. Then it started. In 1824, Texas was combined with Coahuila, and we formed a province. Some of us Texans were not too thrilled about that, and by 1834 we were getting excited. The USA had just offered to buy texas, and we saw a new future for ourselves. The truth got out. The offer was declined, by the president. Suddenly, President Santa Anna tried to take our home and our freedom. We fought back. I decided to join up with Mr. William Travis, and we marched on the alamo. We thought it would be an easy takeover, and it was. Then, Santa Anna decided to send 4000 soldiers against our 200. They conducted a siege, and only a few dozen survived, including me. We just had to run for our lives and hope we didn’t get spotted. Now, today, 7 years after the siege, I remain alone, telling my story to any who will listen.
