Fun game to play amongst your friends...


THE ALLIGATOR RIVER STORY
 Instructions: Please read the following story. After reading the story, rank the five characters in the story beginning with the one you consider as most offensive, and ending with the one you consider as least objectionable. Also, briefly note your reasons as to why you ranked them in that order.

There lived a woman named Abigail who was in love with a man named Gregory. Gregory lived on the shore of a river. Abigail lived on the opposite shore of the same river. The river that separated the two lovers was teeming with dangerous alligators. Abigail wanted to cross the river to be with Gregory. Unfortunately, the bridge had been washed out by a heavy flood the previous week. So she went to ask Sinbad, a riverboat captain, to take her across. He said he would be glad to if she would consent to go to bed with him prior to the voyage. She promptly refused and went to a friend named Ivan to explain her plight. Ivan did not want to get involved at all in the situation. Abigail felt her only alternative was to accept Sinbad’s terms. Sinbad fulfilled his promise to Abigail and delivered her into the arms of Gregory.

When Abigail told Gregory about her amorous escapade in order to cross the river, Gregory cast her aside with disdain. Heartsick and rejected, Abigail turned to Slug with her tale of woe. Slug, feeling compassion for Abigail, sought out Gregory and beat him brutally. Abigail was overjoyed at the sight of Gregory getting his due. As the sun set on the horizon, people heard Abigail laughing at Gregory. 


How do you rank them and why?

Abigail is most offensive and despicable because if she loved Gregory, should would not have agreed to have him beaten in the end and laughed about it. Also, she should have had patience to find another way to see Gregory.

If anything, Sinbad should have got a beating for his blackmail. He's the second most offensive character.

Slug is the third most offensive in that he got involved in a situation he had nothing to do with and then beat someone brutally.

Gregory is fourth on the list because he so easily cast her aside, but at the same time understandable.

Ivan is last on the list because the least is known about him. He may not have wanted to get involved because he may know that Abigail is a shit disturber!

This was a fun blog to analyze. Now, what was up with this little assignment for your readers?!
