Which Disney Villain Are You? | |
You are part Jafar. "How many times do I have to kill you boy?" You just want to be big and powerful... Is that so much to ask? I mean, you deserve it. | |
You are part Lady Tremaine. You're the evil stepmother little girls have nightmares about. Hooray for you, who helped kids learn to love their birth parents and do everything possible to avoid stepparents. Next time, though, be careful not to get in between a girl and her dreams. | |

this was a while ago...
A
- Available: Almost never. And if I am, you have to call and hope I’m in a good mood.
- Age: Sixteen Going On Seventeen. Music number please! My time’s running out!
- Annoyance: I know I am, and that it doesn’t change no matter what I do. So I milk it.
- Allergic: No don’t think so. Picky though.
- Animal: A team of huskies, a handbag-size dog, a rabbit, or a black cat.
- Actor: Working towards it. Though I feel it slipping away. It’s not a good feeling.
B
- Beer: Being a minor and coming from a bloodline cursed to weakness in this area, I must decline.
- Birthday: Shikamaru’s birthday.
- Best friends: Naomi, the Insane Brigade. Any objections?
- Body Part on opposite sex: Facial features in general. And probably the pallor of their skin as well.
- Best feeling in the world: Ah, there are many. Musicals make a large part of it.
- Blind or Deaf: Neither, thank you. How would I enjoy my beloved musicals and anime otherwise?
- Best weather: Thunderstorm. It gives rise to great drama, and great warmth in numbers.
- Been in Love: Without me, his world will go on turning. The world is full of happiness that I have never known.
- Been bitched out?: Most probably at least once in my life. And I most probably have suffered some form of trauma from it, but it’s not important anymore.
- Been on stage?: I’m addicted to it. But until I can prove I deserve it, I won’t take it by force.

- Believe in life on other planets: Probably. Leia Organa, I will meet you someday.
- Believe in miracles: Yes. The number of times they happen for me can be counted with my fingers. The number of times things have gone miraculously wrong, however…

Media&Comm
Faith, you have really put a lot of thought and consideration into this response, and explored some imaginative possibilities evoked by the words in the poem. I am very impressed by the quality of your reasoning and argument, and feel some of your interpretations are quite sophisticated. You really put this poem under the microscope and explored its secrets - or at least, made some original suggestions about possible meanings. This is far from a surface analysis, which puts it into a higher-quality standard response category.
My only concern - or recommendation for improvement - is that some more formal structuring which reflected the exam question would have connected your essay more clearly with the assessment criteria. Yes, formulaic structuring can make an essay dull, but in an exam, or any other formal assessment, a structure which addresses the question - that is, mentioning ideas, emotions & techniques in a more direct way - often improves the communication, and ensures you answer the question asked.
I think you DID do those things, but not in as formal or direct a way as you might have.
4.75/5

ELDDS CRASH
- Since Twilight is obviously a very screwed representation of vampires (they're VAMPIRES, Stephenie, not superheroes), and there seem to be many Twihards in Cedar (and everywhere else), vampires are liable to be very screwed over without Mr Sng's preventive measure.
- My "very gothic and vampirish" narrative will never be bested by another work in the future, and the 26/30 mark I got is hence the final word in dark fiction of the sort in his class.
- I'd hate to imagine legit vampire fic written at the secondary school level, actually. I have no idea how people would actually carry it off. Especially after the epic train-wreck that Twilight is.
- Woah, this rule was created because of me. This is the second time, I think, that Mr Sng's created a rule because of me. Maybe one day I'll go back to Cedar, borrow someone's student handbook, and see the rules clearly stating that socks can only be three fingers' width in length above the ankle. Because of me.
