Prologue to Romeo and Juliet

I read the prologue. It spoiled the ending, not that we all didn't know what was going to happen. It was hard reading, and I really don't know how I'm going to write on about it for a proper blog length.

So, to make this interesting, I finished a book last Tuesday called Don't Call Me Ishmael. It was hilarious - a bunch of ninth grade guys on a debate team, trying to win when they all have no clue what they're doing. It was a good book, though - Ishmael (main character) was narrating, frequently in second person, and he had amazing mishaps. Like the debate against Kelly Faulkner half way through the book. It was Ishmael's first time speaking, and he fainted. Not only did he faint, but this was after he mangled the topic sentence of his speech to say that the "private parts of public figures should be made public". Direct quote. Then he fainted, a decorated clothespin rolled out the hem of his pants (he had pulled them off the line), and he ended up trying to catch himself on the girl he was up against, but missed her shoulder. It's worth reading.

I hope everyone else's rewritten prologues are coming along well - I tried to get mine to rhyme, and ended up using a rhyming dictionary. Thanks to online rhyming dictionaries.
