High School is Hell

This article really gave me a better understanding for what the show was about. I remember watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer when it first came out, but to be honest I don’t really remember it at all. I haven’t watched the show recently, but now I am interested to watch it. I am excited to see how the writers incorporate both the supernatural and natural into a show that it seems is mostly just about high school life. I like how the article talked about the use of metaphors and how by making metaphors real, the writers hoped to accurately capture high school life. I also found it interesting that not only did the show include metaphors in each episode but also that there were also extended metaphors that spanned entire seasons. Also I like how the article discussed the use of irony in the story and the use of irony along side the metaphors makes for a show with many levels of depth that is entertaining and mentally stimulating. However, one of the things about the article that I did not like is that it contained some spoilers. If you have not watched the entire series up until the third season this article may spoil some of the episodes for you. The article contained many references to episodes in order to support what it was saying about metaphors and irony but the details contained in the references could serve to spoil episodes for those who had not already watched the episodes.
