Found! One of my high school english essays.

I once wrote a paper for English class about my calculator. I don’t remember what the assignment was, but I always hated the tension between Math and English, and this was my 16 year old self’s way of fighting back. I found it on my hard drive and got a kick out of reading it.… Continue reading Found! One of my high school english essays.

Why I disagree with several of your points made about Glee, and my explanation: – The Cheerios don’t wear anything but their uniforms because it’s meant to be ridiculously stereotypical. Plus their Jane Lynch’s character is insane, so it would make sense for her to force her squad to do something like that. – Whether or not it’s funny is subjective. – So do pretty much all actors who play high school students. Sorry they can’t get actual high school students since labor laws prohibit them from working as much as they would need to on a show as demanding as this one. – They’re sitting on Santa’s lap to make sure that their friend continues to believe in Santa. You must have missed that detail when you were too busy expecting realism from a show that is anything but. – “being a Je w, I don’t normally give x-mas gifts” isn’t meant to be a funny line, it’s there because the writers are acknowledging the fact that Rachel is Jewish and they don’t want people to think they’ve forgotten that. – Once again, if you’d been paying attention you would have heard that the A/V club was responsible for rigging a fake snow machine for Rachel’s song, because she likes to go all out. – The crappy music video mode is so that we don’t have to watch a person standing there and lip synching for three minutes…it just serves as a visual distraction; a sort of representation of what that character is thinking about as he or she is singing. – The makeup is no heavier than any other TV show. The cast is just really, really pretty. :P – Of course love on the show it’s crazy. It’s HIGH SCHOOL. – It can be frivolous at times, yes, but at its heart it’s just a feelgood show that’s meant to be fun and have some nice messages (and make a crapton of money for FOX, but whatevs). Tell me I’m wrong if you want, but just know that it’ll make you look like a self-important bitch if you refuse to listen to another person’s opinions.

This person sincerely disagrees with me….and dislikes my general tone. My short answer is to relax a little - it’s just a taste dispute and doesn’t have to get nasty (see final paragraph). I am happy to listen to the arguments made, however, and appreciate disagreement with a very open mind. You haven’t convinced me… Continue reading Why I disagree with several of your points made about Glee, and my explanation: – The Cheerios don’t wear anything but their uniforms because it’s meant to be ridiculously stereotypical.
