Rant or Rave (Rant)

W H Y  G A B R I E L L A  M O N T E Z  I S  A  R U D E,   I R R E V A L E N T  P O T A T O   

Hello, I’m Kathy, I think Sharpay was framed. If you are a diehard High School Musical fan (HSM for short), you should know the first few things Sharpay says when you meet her in the movie. She states that she’s been seventeen school productions. You may think that’s a lot, right? Exactly. In the first movie, she is a junior in high school. This concludes that she is around sixteen to seventeen years old. Since she  probably wasn’t doing plays when she was a newborn, this information illustrates that she’s done one to two plays a year starting since kindergarten. For someone who hasn’t quit yet, this means she loves the stage and it is obviously a passion of hers.  

Step in her shoes, she’s been preparing for a huge role in her school winter play. If you note closely, you’ll know that no other person auditioned for her part. However, she spent weeks coming up with her own number and choreography for her audition. If no one auditioned for the part except for her, this should mean she automatically gets the part. However, she wanted to show that she really cared about this and was putting in her own effort. Alright, so back into her point of view, you’ve been working hard and all of a sudden this new girl pops in. She’s super friendly with your crush? Of course you’re upset, you’re preparing for a play. You don’t have time for this! What is she doing now? She’s suddenly deciding to sign up for the play. Someone with no passion, dedication, or experience suddenly tries to sign up and take your role. With your crush. Who wouldn’t be annoyed? Your dreams at the stake!  Whatever, you’ve got to just perform as best as you can. You’ve creating your own soundtrack to best fit your style, and make sure you and your brother know all the steps. You perform and Ms. Darbus is thrilled. She is your drama teacher and an idol who’ve you worked with for what seems like forever. 

Gabriella Montez and long time crush, Troy Bolton don’t even perform. They lack the drive and motivation to even get on the stage. You take a deep breath of relief and are glad that your hard work paid off. Or… did it?  After you’ve left, the both of them decide at the last minute to intrude and perform their own rendition of your own song. No choreography and planning. Your own amazing Ms. Darbus gives them the roles. Everything is crashing, your dreams, and all of your hard work. You’ve lost everything. Your passion. Your dreams. Your crush. Not only that but neither of them are a hundred percent down to perform. At the last minute they both decide not to do the play.  

Wouldn’t you be a tad annoyed? I could go on about how in the second movie, Gabriella becomes jealous and whiny. Gabriella gets mad and leaves Troy for talking to Sharpay and for putting a scholarship before her. This concludes my essay on why Gabriella is a rude, and a stuck up potato. Thank you for reading. If you’re watching a HSM movie pay close attention to Gabriella and maybe your views will change.
