Arts 'N Crass: Difference between revisions

Line 16:
That afternoon, while walking home, Jane comments to [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] that the message on the poster does not have to be positive and, after some insistence, is able to recruit Daria's help. At the pizza place later on, the two friends brainstorm ideas for the poster and, many pizzas later, Daria has an revelation based on how sick they feel.
 
A few days later, at arts class, DeFoe surveys her students posters: [[Upchuck]] has produced an elaborate painting portraying him with a nice a car and two female companions. [[Brittany Taylor|Brittany]] presents a simple poster advising against the use of drugs. As to Jane, she presents the painting of a beautiful young woman smiling at a mirror... and a small poem revealing the girl is anorexicbulimic. DeFoe is first uneasy about the poster but changes her mind and accepts it when Jane and Daria explain that its purpose is to show that the prettiness of the girl comes at a price.
 
The two girls, however, are called to the principal's office, where Angela Li and O'Neill state that the poem is too negative and unacceptable, and try to have it changed. Both girls refuse, stating that changing it would subvert the intended message. Faced with their stubbornness, Li negotiates a one-day wait for all to think and has O'Neill call the girl's parents: nobody answers from the Lane's; a stressed and busy [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] has the english teacher rush through an explanation; and [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake's]] eagerness to answer the phone (he thinks it could be a client) scares Mr. O'Neill off.
