I winced as I smelled the butter and cried Behold! bad and unwholesome Butter is served 'at unto as daily: we must have Asa, the Scribe, go unto our Ruler, and seek Redress. My fellow students jeer and yell in agreement therefore, Asa, the Scribe, went unto Belcher, the Ruler, and said, behold our Butter stinketh, and we cannot eat thereof; now give us we pray thee Butter that stinketh not. I could not hear belchers response but could see thy face of Asa I waited for belcher and thy other rulers to depart to clap my hands and cry. Next dawn I heard murmurs going around the campus that Edward the Chief Ruler and John and another Edward (not the chief) and Stephen and Belcher and Simeon and horsehead, and Andrew and Joseph had punished Asa making him confess and be placed below his fellows. So we the sons of harvard met and decided we would leave if we were served un-wholesome butter once more. So we did. When the great rulers finally figured out that we cannot be taken down with punishment they appeased us. now  It seems from this date on there will be peace on the grounds.

brief

"alexanders"  a play originally made to show and represent protests and rebellions in history and teach people more about the events in a strong emotional way using their similarities to hold it together

   the monologue is not currently in the script and i do not have a strong urge to put it in but if it were going to be put in a play i would have the students bring up something like "oh haha, this is funny the first recorded student protest against a school is about bad butter in harvard"  i do not think this would fit in the current play but if it were to be different it could be funny
