Write an intro to the 30th member of the Canterbury Tales crew. Your character can be yourself, or any other person of interest (such as Beowulf, Abraham Lincoln, Sherlock Holmes, Justin Bieber, or Bruce Wayne). This is due Friday, September 12th.
Requirements:
- It must introduce the character
- The character must be introduced as a title (Think of it like a group they belong to: dork, politician, detective, superhero, prince, diva), and you must comment on either their profession or status in society.
- Must describe the person with some accuracy while also commenting on his or her character (Use satire or humor- that’s what Chaucer did)
- Must be 14 lines long
- Music be written with heroic couplets
For example:
There
was a Dork emerging from the crowd,
He
spoke nonsense with pride, and quite loud.
Awkwardly
tall, with horrendous dance moves-
Even
his parents greatly disapproved.
He
wore a Batman shirt with a striped tie,
With
such a style, students wished him to die.
He
spoke of hashtags and the Walking Dead,
Boring
us to tears, “Please shut up” I pled.
He
showed us his treasure: a PowerPoint,
As he
presented, our eyes went disjoint.
Talking
of his website all day and night,
“We
don’t care”, we screamed, “Don’t put up a fight!”
I
glanced at him, sighed, and felt my fury,
This
would be a long walk to Canterbury.
