Scene 1
My grandmother was preparing food, we were having empanadas tonight. Empanadas are basically pillows of fried dough stuffed with meat, they are usually associated with Spanish culture. I don't remember which culture because my grandfather from Cuba is familiar with them and my grandmother, who is half Puerto Rican Half-Dominican is also familiar with them. We were going to have just a normal dinner, until a few unexpected guests showed up. We heard an unexpected knock at the door. When my grandmother finally opened it, there was a Steward in old fashion clothing. “May I present her majesty Queen Elizabeth” He announced. Behind him was a pale woman, with tall red hair, dressed in clothing that was probably from the 1600’s, …show more content…
I demonstrated how to wrap the napkin around the empanadas, and explained that if the grease fell out of the empanadas that it would land on the napkin rather than your hands. Our three guests tried the meal at last, their reception was mixed. Both Washington and Jefferson seem to enjoy the empanadas, however Queen Elizabeth seem to be impartial to the meal. The conversation took an unusual turn, when the founding fathers and the queen began talking about colonization. Queen Elizabeth started talking about how she was sending a group of settlers to Roanoke, apparently she still thought Sir Walter Raleigh was alive and heading to the exposition. Before we could tell her that this already happened, and it did not end well might I add, the Founding Fathers spoke up for us. They started talking about how England had 13 colonies, and said 13 colonies were trying to break away from England, apparently they thought they were still fighting the revolution. Before there could be a giant argument, I finally spoke up. Explain to them that the Revolution was over in that America had one, but eventually England and America had settled their differences and we're now allies. The Founding Father seemed quite pleased with this, While Elizabeth was just silent. After dinner they all thank us for the meal, and walked out our front door, never to be seen
