Read this excerpt from a play. (The scene opens on a room full of people. There are photographs lining the table, and each one shows the same person at various stages of life. There are pictures of him as a young boy, other pictures of him on athletic teams, family pictures, and a graduation picture. That same young man stands in the middle of the room, shaking hands with an adult. He then turns to address the group.)

JESSE: (loudly) Thank you so much for coming. I am so glad you could all be here today. This is too much. (He looks around, indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake.)

GUEST: We wouldn’t miss it! We heard there would be cake. . . .

JESSE: There is! But first, I want to thank all of you for the support you’ve given me throughout school. You’ve helped me study, earn money, and stay out of trouble, and finish school. (He pauses, stepping in front of the table and looking at his parents.) I could never have done it without you.

it the climax in the poem

when alex falls for the charming new boy at school, cole -- a handsome, funny, sports star who adores her - she can't believe she's finally found her soul who truly loves and understands her.  

at first, alex is blissfully happy. sure, cole seems a little jealous of her relationship with her close friend zack, but what guy would want his girlfriend spending all her time with another boy? as the months pass, though, alex can no longer ignore cole's small put-downs, pinches, or increasingly violent threats.  

as alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself.

dioneo just might be like one of your friends. he is a good looking guy that can say whatever he want and get away with it. he's brings life because he can sing and play the lute. he is also dangerous because he can convince you to do anything for him because his wit is so sharp, you can not resist. dioneo is determined to take the next logical step and initiate a small campaign for freedom of speech. he does this by begging to be released from telling stories that conform to the daily theme. then, during his own time, he chooses a themes that are scandalous and he gets the response he expects.
