They're still doing book reports in sixth grade? For reals?
I had book reports assigned all the way up through 8th grade, although it was more of a reading journal-combined-with-presentation then.
I hate this assignment. I don't think it's fair that some people could pick a short story while others read a full novel.
Well, I assume the teacher doesn't expect anyone to do more than a short story unless they choose to, so it's fair enough. For that same 8th grade journal/book report thing, I picked "Rebecca" but I was done with it by the next day and we were supposed to keep the reading journal for a week. So I picked "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" to continue because it was the longest book the teacher had in her selection for us. Sure, I ended up reading about 6 times as much text as the other students, but it was my own choice.
She promptly finds a hanged Barbie in her locker. There's fake blood all over it. This creeps Liz out. Ridiculous!Whu? Stuff like that is only creepy because of what it usually

"I'm not going to say this is an inaccurate depiction of the Wakefield house, but why would the twins have read Dante's Inferno if they barely know who Edgar Allan Poe is?"
After I read this I started picturing Liz & Jess's heads in the place of Cain & Abel's in the 9th circle. The worst part of their punishment? Being detached from their perfect size 6 bodies!
I think I remember one of the guys (I think it may have been Steven, once the word got out to him) saying, "What's the difference between a girl and a pig? The pig can go to the bathroom by itself!"
