i am american by jennifer tibbets time: present setting: bare stage. at rise: max littlefoot stands center. behind him, three silhouettes stand reaching upward toward the sky. as max littlefoot begins his speech, silhouettes enact amerindian dance to offstage drumbeat max littlefoot: i am american. my ancestors have lived on this land since memory began. my tribal elders speak of a large turtle that rose out of the sea. this turtle island—earth—provides everything we need. my ancestors could read the earth. they saw a scuff in the dirt and would find deer to hunt. they smelled the thawing riverbanks and knew salmon were on their way upstream to spawn. they touched the rough bark of a pine and it would become a strong wigwam. which is the best description of the structure of this play? (1 point) descriptive soliloquies accompanied by illustrative movement heightened drama at an epic, tragic scale rapid farce with rhythmic action, entrances, and exits naturalistic dialogue between characters in a realistic setting

Explanation:

The play has Max Littlefoot delivering a monologue (soliloquy) about his heritage, and the silhouettes perform illustrative movement (Amerindian dance) to the drumbeat. The other options don't fit: the drama isn't epic/tragic, it's not a farce with rapid action, and the setting is a bare stage (not a realistic, naturalistic setting with typical dialogue - it's more of a soliloquy with movement). So the first option describes the structure best.

Answer:

A. descriptive soliloquies accompanied by illustrative movement
