The square
90Sit with it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.
The Declaration, the enlistment, and the anger, all where you already were.
The glance
Industry is the thin one.
This phone
Set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
After the credits
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
The square is where a proclamation became an event. Orders, the Declaration, a muster, a straw man of a royal official or a loyal merchant, paraded and burned. A thirteen-year-old went because everyone went.
Hearing the Declaration in a yard is the high part. The effigy is the low part. Both are this score.

The eight
Industry
9/10
A crier, a drum, a proclamation. Real jobs, used as theater too.
Household
9/10
The family is in the crowd, not at home.
Piety
9/10
Sometimes a hymn. Often a shout.
Courage
9/10
You showed your face. Neutrality was harder in a square than in a kitchen.
Republic
9/10
The public act is the point: a reading, a liberty pole, a muster.
Temperance
9/10
An effigy is rage given a body. The crowd enjoys the burning.
Truth
9/10
The words read out are the real decree. The dummy is a feeling treated as a fact.
Stewardship
9/10
A boy learns what the town will do to a person it has decided on.
Live historicallyThe next time a crowd is enjoying someone's ruin, step out of it before you cheer.
