Love & Romance, Hollywood Style [Period 4, Class 13]

Drake was dressed in leather for this class again, but happily -- or maybe sadly in Emmett's case -- it wasn't the tight leather pants, it was a black leather jacket. He also had his hair slicked back with enough grease to potentially be declared a hazard to nature if he went to the beach to go swimming.

"Many of you are probably familiar with meta for the movie Grease," Drake said. "But if not, the story goes like this: in the '50s, leather-wearing greaser boy meets prim and proper nice girl, boy spends summer romancing girl, but when it's time to go back to school, boy fears he won't be considered cool for having a non-slutty girlfriend. Boy tries to be more straight-laced and fails miserably, so girl decides perming her hair, smoking, and dressing in leather will get her the boy. And indeed it does.

"A lot of people love this movie, but what's the message here? That you have to change for love? How do you feel about that? On the one hand, if love inspires you to be a better person, good for you. But on the other, what about being true to yourself? Would you completely change who you are to win the love of someone? Why or why not?"
