For this assignment, I would like you to utilize the information that you have researched, and create your very own sonnet. I recommend that you use the prologue form Romeo and Juliet, which is also a sonnet, and write a parody of it. Try to write about something that interests you. For instance:
Two highschools, both alike in student pride, In Massapequa (where we lay our scene), From ancient grudge matches, both teams have tried, To beat the other, on the field of green....
If you are having difficulty staying within the syllabic guidelines, (ten syllables per line) you may use one more or one less. If you need help with rhymes, click on the Romeo & Juliet image. This will direct you to poetry.com, and you can get help at this site. When you are ready to take a look at the prologue, simply click on the image to the immediate right. Remember...be creative, be patient, and most importantly...have fun!
