Title/Episode	1. Clueless 2. Wild Child

Characters	1. Clueless : Cher Horowitz, Josh, Tai, Dionne Davenport 2. Wild Child : Poppy Moore, Freddie Kingsley, Mrs. Kingsley, Harriet Bentley
Main point of the story	1. Clueless Cher, a high school student in Beverly Hills, must survive the ups and downs of adolescent life. Her external demeanor at first seems superficial, but rather it hides her wit, charm, and intelligence which help her to deal with relationships, friends, family, school, and the all-important teenage social life.   2. Wild Child Since Malibu brat Poppy Moore’s mom passed away, she has pushed her rich, usually absent dad Gerry shamelessly. When his patience wears out, she’s shipped off to her mother’s former English boarding school for girls, Abbey Mount. On her first day she makes enemies of most dorm mates, especially dominant lacrosse school captain Harriet, and the school’s principal Mrs. Kingsley. Unwilling to accept the strict regime, she decides to misbehave and take the blame for everyone until she’s dismissed. The school’s only appealing feature for her is Kingsley’s dashing son Freddie. When the dream prince transfers his favor from ambitious, uptight Harriet to unruly Poppy, that changes everything.
New vocabularies found	Adolescent, demeanor, regime.
Comment	1. The story is really interesting,  I also like it where Cher then finds her true self and also transforms into a better person. This story also tells about friendship, love, also personal growth, which is really good for me.   2. A story that is so enjoyable and also carries good messages. I like the plot where Poppy, who was initially naughty, then transforms into a good girl after she manages to blend in and also find herself with her new friends.

 

5. If you can exist on the story, in what scene do you want to appear? And what will the story be?

Answer :

1. Clueless

I wanna be in the scene where Cher wanted to help Miss Geist with the Donation for The Pismo Beach Disaster. Because it will be fun to me to participate with them, and I also want to be one of Cher’s friends. And the story not really changed.

2. Wild Child

I want to exist in the scene where Poppy and her friends are going to shopping to find a costume for the party, or in the scene that they’re playing lacrosse, I would like to play together with them. Maybe the ending will be different, because I can’t play lacrosse at all, and the team will be lose because of me.

She enrols at his new school Illyria (Cornwall’s soccer rival) so she can try out for their soccer team. With the help of her friends, Viola dons a boys wig, sticks on some sideburns, takes a crash course in how to walk, talk and act like a man, and passes herself off as her brother.   Viola/Sebastian’s life at her/his new school becomes complicated when she falls for her new roommate, Duke Orsino (Channing Tatum).

New vocabularies found	Dashing
Comment	1. The story is really unique, it’s also entertaining but has a deep meaning. This story tells us the importance of understanding each other, and the importance about friendship and family.   2. The story is also really good, additionally, the film also emphasizes the importance of communication and understanding, as Ariel learns the consequences of making hasty decisions without considering their impact on herself and those she cares about.

 

5. If you can exist on the story, in what scene do you want to appear? And what will the story be?

Answer :

1. Freaky Friday

I want to exist as Anna’s band mates, and I want to appear in the scene where Anna is on the show with her band, even though it was not Anna but her mother Tess. The story might be changed, because when Anna’s behaviour is different, I will force Anna to tell what is going on, and maybe help her with the problem. Then, Anna and her mother can swap their bodies sooner.

2. The Little Mermaid

I want to exist as Ariel’s mermaid friend, so maybe I can help her with her problems, or I can give her some advice so there will not be a problem with her father King Triton. The story wil change because Ariel and King Triton may be understanding each other.
