For some strange reason, Iago, Algernon, and Junior are all watching me take my AP Lit test...like some weird hallucination or terrifying fever dream. I will spend more time listening to these nightmarish phantoms than prewriting and Ms. Serensky will throughly scowl as she reviews my work...especially when she realizes I wrote my essay on the differences between Waiting for Godot, The Sound and the Fury, and Exit the King...in Latin...for my poetry analysis.
Junior: "I'd like one of those for myself" (Currie, 186)
Algernon: "I'm sorry for that, for your sake"(Wilde, 1)
Iago:"Is't possible, my lord?"(Shakespeare, 3.3.355)
Junior: "I don't know what I was expecting, but this was not it"(Currie, 160)
Iago:"This is the fruits of whoring"(Shakespeare, 5.1.116)
Algernon: "I call that business"(Wilde, 3)
Junior:"Listen, some has happened to me, here"(Currie, 122)
Iago:"Come, stand not amazed with it"(Shakespeare, 4.3.239)
Algernon:"Produce your explanation, and pray make it improbable"(Wilde, 5)
Junior:"I knew it would be bad. but I did not know it would be this bad." (Currie, 170)
Algernon:"The truth is rarely pure and never simple"(Wilde, 6)
Iago: "Nay, this was but his dream." (Shakespeare, 3.3.424)
Junior: "Even I'm entitled to get excited"(Currie, 195)
Algernon:"Nobody ever does"(Wilde, 19)
Iago:"I...take my leave" (Shakespeare, 3.3.256)
And so they all left, leaving me to wonder why I was daydreaming about literary characters instead of trying to pave the way for my college...Eh, back to Latin.
