Iago's Student Days

Interviewer= Lizzy

Subject= Iago

Me:

Did you find the class challenging?

Iago:

Though I feared not for life, the many fights

of in-class essays drained all my vigor.

If the pen is mightier than the sword

why must it cause such mental wrath?

The books would evade just the minds of fools,

but how I loathed the literary tools

And the discussions, even when quite small

I say to you: “It plucks out brains and all” (125)

Me:

What was your least favorite book?

Iago:

Incidents in the life of a slave girl.

The ruffian believed she had the need

To share her every thought and every deed

Her hallow complaints still ring in my ears

As does the fact that she hoped to bring tears

“Be judge yourself,

Whether I in any just term am affined

To love the moor.” (1.1.35-37)

Me:

What did you get on the AP Test?

Iago:

Five

Me:

What is your favorite memory of AP English 11?

Iago:

The quarterly test that we all must take

The battle that puts all our pride at stake

Of course I always come out on the top

Bubbles all bubbled in when she yells “stop!”

I must admit, a lot I tried to cheat

But Serensky would jump up on her feet

Though I tried many a plot, trick, and scheme

Could not beat this English teacher’s regime

Me:

Ah yes, what do you think of Ms. Serensky?

Iago:

Though Brilliant as a teacher for this course

For you I feel a small bit of remorse

Me:

Who me? Why?

Iago:

“Preferment goes by letter and affection” (1.1.33)

Do not think that she has been grading fair

If you misfortune the gift of her glare

Me:

What are you saying? I must get revenge!!!

Curse her!

there is a sound of hurried footsteps as the interviewer leaves

Iago:

“My med’cine works! Thus credulous fools are/ caught” (4.1.46)

a hallow laugh fills the recording, which stops promptly

NOTE: This is just for fun. I under no conditions believe that Ms. Serensky plays favorites nor do I endorse the things that Iago said about Harriet Jacobs
