December 15th was the last day of the Hamlet debates. This debate would decide wether gerturde had betrayed her late husbadn adn her son. As the three judges sat at the front of the class, anticipation was rising. Beside me sat Stephanie Willson, and Jaybe Bedell, ready to start the judging process we looked to our right seeing the affirmative side, Adam, Mat and Stuart, then to the left the negative side consisting of Tyler Kieth, Alex Van der Mout and John Khatib. the debate begins with the lightsabers in the middle incase a fight breaks out.
The negative side starts off gaining some points by a little bribery or cookies? It is a common fact that every judge has a sweet tooth! Both teams are well prepared and execute thier arguments and rebuttles mostely without conflict, with only 4 lightsaber battles, ending with the negative side winning the points every time. As the last sword fight came to a close wiht a crashing end breaking one of the collapsable swords, both teams had come verry close for all three judges. Jaybe and myself had teh negative team win by 2 or 3 points, while Stephanie has teh Affirmative win by only a few points aswell. havign a greater amount of points together for the negative team, they won the debate, convincing the judges that Gertude has not betrayed her son and previouse husband.
