My "Daria" review

Last week I took an English test and one of the essays I had to do was a review of a fav. tv show, movie or book. I chose to write a review of Daria. This is what I put down, as best as I could remember.

(NOTE: I know, I know, there is a lot more to the show than this but I had to follow certain directions on writing a review and I had to be brief.)

**     "Daria" is an animated TV series about high school student Daria
Morgendorffer, her life at home and at school.
     Daria is a smart, sarcastic, yet unpopular, teenager who offers witty and
wry comments wherever she sees fit. Her best friend is Jane Lane, an artist who
shares Daria's opinions on the world around them. Daria's arch-nemisis is her
cute and popular younger sister, Quinn. Other characters on the show include
Daria and Quinn's parents, Helen and Jake, their school mates and their
teachers.
     This is one of my favorite TV shows because it is a smart and witty
program. Daria is honest and says what is on her mind. I can identify with her
and I think others who watch the show will too. **

Reply however you like to this. I let you guys know what kind of grade I got on it.

Like I said, I had to follow specific directions for this part. The other essays were 1 1/2 - 2 pages long, for me anyway.

It's the worst thing I've ever read from a top set pupil! Do it again!! It's appalling, I can't even give it a grade!" as usual.

Sometimes it pays to take a chance and just be yourself in these things. Certainly that's the only time I got an "A" in a creative writing assignment, you just have to let rip and hope they don't call the men in white coats out for you when they read it.

Oh, bloody hell, we have to do Shakespeare, we're going to do McBeth I think.

Alli

Was Yorick the ghost or was that something else entirely. I remember someone picking up a skull and saying "Alas poor Yorick -- I knew him, Horatio."

MacBeth is the one with the compulsive hand cleaning isn't it. Lady MacBeth goads her husband into assassinating his way to kingship, and then she finds imaginary bloodstains on her hands and can't get rid of them, uttering the immortal line "Out, damned spot!" as she scrubs away at her hands. It all starts with the three old witches on the heath stirring a cauldron and foretelling to MacBeth that he will be the king.

Kurosawa did a great remake of it as a Japanese epic, I forget which one it was, possibly Ran (or was that the King Lear remake? I don't know King Lear.)

One of the plays has a walking forest too, but again I only remember it from the Kurosawa version though. Come to think of it, wasn't Apocalypse Now a remake of a Kurosawa film? It was based on some Japanese epic that got re-located to Vietnam, hence the bizarre and unlikely storyline.

That was hamlet...He returns home, fully recovered, after spending some time "going mad" in England then err starts fiddling with dead people I think Yorick *was* the court jester err before he got burried. I`m not sure if i remember "who" the ghost was, but i have this impression that he was related in some way to one of the main characters.

Shez wrote:

"Well, Hamlet has a skull in it." -- Mack, to Kevin, Boy Genius.

Ran was the Lear Remake. Lear-- foolish old king, 3 daughters. 2 mean ones, 1 nice one. The nice one gets screwed over by foolish King Lear. Lear goes blind and dies. A really cheerful play. Worst line-- "Out, vile jelly!" as someone gouges out Lear's eyes. I forget who-- it's been a looong time since I read King Lear.

Apocalypse Now was based on "Heart of Darkness" by Conrad, I believe... the documentary about the making of the movie was called "Hearts of Darkness" -- it was a very difficult movie to make, since when Dennis Hopper wasn't freaking out, Marlon Brando was expanding to Jovian proportions, or it wouldn't stop raining, or.... you get the idea.

Hey, Heart of Darkness was the book Daria was reading at the end of the episode where they visit that school (Gifted?). What fun books she likes. Mind you in my experience girls of that age spend most of their time reading horror novels anyhow so I guess she's not that unusual.

Shez wrote in article ...

Yorick was the old jester -- "I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of most infinite jest; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times. Where be your jibes now, your gambols, your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?" (Or something like that; I'm going completely from memory. But now you know where Mr. David Foster Wallace got his title from.)

That's right. If you haven't already, read Pratchett's "Wyrd Sisters," which is a very funny satire of Macbeth and theatre/Shakespeare in general.

Ran is the Macbeth remake; Throne of Blood is the King Lear one. Both are really good movies.

"Is this a dagger I see before me?" "No, my lord, it's my hankerchief. You can tell, you see, it doesn't have as many sharp edges."

"s107 Children and Young Persons Act 1933 'Child' - Under the age of 14 years 'Young Person' - Attained the age of 14 years but under 18"

Of course you can now do things you couldn't (legally) before:

"Under 15 years: Not admitted to a knacker's yard. Under 16 years: Alien need not register. Liqueur chocolates must not be sold to. Fireworks may not be supplied to. Marriage of person under 16 is void. May not drive any motor vehicle. Education compulsory if 5 years or over. "

Why should you have to wait to be 19 to smoke? It's stupid. Actually, I think the laws saying you can't drink until you're whatever age are really stupid. It just means that there's a whole lot of kids who think drinking's really cool and all, just because it's illegal for them, it's so stupid.

It isn't like that in places where you can drink at any age, noone's afraid to admit that they don't like alcohol, for example, a girl I know who's French will quite happily admit that she doesn't drink because she doesn't like it. I wouldn't say that myself, obviously, because I *do* like it, but not because I think getting drunk is really cool or something.

Don't worry, it's irrelevant. I'm well past that age and I'm nowhere near being past childhood. Childish behavior isn't a sign of childhood, it's a sign of being alive. The very definition of "old" is when you start telling other people to, "Act your age." When you start thinking that way you'll know--it's nearly time to lie down and die--you're old. In the meantime, enjoy your childishness, for a lifetime. Just keep it on a short enough leash that you'll be fit to live in civilized society.
