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

  When Mimi, a student, is complaining about the stale juice and watered down bread in the harvard dining halls the monologue is written from the point if view of a student in the protests but not the leader. the monologue tells the story of the first recorded student lead protest and the first of many in harvard. The great butter rebellion is a rebellion about the moldy butter in the harvard dinning halls, the students were agitated because harvard previously made a rule that the students all had to eat together. when the school did not change the quality of the butter after being asked nicely the students decided to protest by going to restaurants outside of school and disrespecting the teachers in the dining hall this lead to people being expelled but eventually the students got the good butter that they asked for.


Nov. 19 1776I 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.
