My name is Katerina Vgena and I am twenty years old. I have graduated from the third Mytilene's High School at 2010 and now I am studying at the faculty of English Studies in Athens. I speak English and French. I like reading novels with foreign city descriptions and walking in the city center observing its architecture, parks, monuments and the way that people's everyday life is affected by that urban environment. |

Ali: An Immigrant’s Monologue
The persona of this monologue is a homeless immigrant who lives in Athens.
His words dramatize the obstacles he has gone through during his adventurous
journey from his homeland to Greece. Despite the difficulties, the monologue
highlights his positive spirit and determination to come to terms with the cruel
and inhospitable city center in addition to staying alive. The monologue is read
by the Greek actor, Nikos Arvanitis. The voicing of the immigrant’s concerns in
Greek attempts to bridge the communication gap between local residents and
foreign newcomers.
