Journalism 101/201 (Wednesday, April 12 - 5th period)

"Hello, boys and girls," Rita said. "Today, we look at structure. Please take a look at the paper, and read through the articles. There are a few instances of not only poor grammar, but bad journalistic structure. Given that we're on a word count when we write for a newspaper, we need to conserve space and say things with the utmost clarity and fewest words. So take a look at the paper. Is this accomplished?"

Quinn reads the paper. And is not impressed.

"Gee," she says, "can I have a whole section devoted to how the world revolves around me?"

She thinks about it. "No, really. Can I? It'd be much more interesting than trying to sound smart and deep or whatever."

"I don't know, but I can totally rant about it," says Quinn. "Okay, blah blah blah blah blah, yeah, it's really nice for the same person every week to vent their emo instead of seeing a shrink like everyone else, but it's only nice for that person! Let's just rename it "ME ME ME." Or maybe "Trying Way Too Freaking Hard." Can I cancel my subscription because oh my god, I'm so over all her issues."

Rita raised an eyebrow. "While your point is valid, definitely, maybe that's the...intended nature of the column."

"If I wanted to see someone whine that much about their own problems, I'd watch the Real World," says Quinn.

"It's a show, where a bunch of twenty-somethings all crash in one house and attention-whore at the camera because they're not the most important at every second of the day," she says. "I'm thinking about applying as soon as I'm old enough."

"I think the majority of the school population would fit in well there," Rita smirked.
