New game time... Come up with school reports for literary characters. 'Nuff said.

Ozzymandias - "I look on his work, and despair"

Phileas Fogg - "Will go far, if he finally learns to complete his work on time"

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Dr Watson - "This boy hasn't a clue."

Sherlock Holmes - "Disappointing in comparison to brother, Mycroft. Observant, but easily bored: suggest violin lessons."

Richard III; We look for an improvement in Richard this term. He has been discontented all winter.

Billy Bunter; Still no signs of improvement. Has been in Lower Remove for 94 years now.

Zaphod Beeblebrox; Discipline - poor. Persists in talking to himself in class.

The Invisible Man; we hope to see more of him this year.

Long John Silver; John is very lazy. If we wants to pass his CE, he'd better hop to it. Keeps cribbing off other boys. He cannot keep using his friends as a crutch. Seems to have a chip on his shoulder.

Cassandra; Keeps handing in work before it has been set. Claims this is not cheating, but we don't believe her.

Odysseus; Keeps getting lost on way home from school.

Avon; There is such a thing as too much dark sarcasm in the classroom.

Jane Eyre - Too imaginitive, must settle down. Might make good wife for missionary.

Elizabeth Bennet - Rather proud. Inclined to take sides

Lydia Bennet - Lively girl, very popular. Shows an interest in the Army.

With regards to Lydia: She let her project on 'Army Officers' get rather on top of her, and I was concerned that she spent too much time discussing the privates below the officers concerned for a young lady. I'm not sure I will ever be able to think of the phrase 'officer's mess' in quite the same way again.

Others:

Oedipus - I'm concerned that Oedipus has got some kind of complex.

Hamlet - Spends too much time in art lessons choosing which pencil to use.

Godot: Poor attendance.

Quasimodo: Seems rather enthusiastic for the bell at the end of the day, and always seems to have the hump.

Love the Godot one :)

Don Quixote - Very imaginitive boy. Keen to tackle project on windmills.

Sancho Panza - Easily led but loyal. Good at animal husbandry and domestic science.

Robin Hood - Persistantly refuses to obey authorities. He and his gang are in danger of being excluded, if they do not pull up their hose.

Rodion Raskolnikov: Very intelligent, but extremely self-obsessed. Takes a very long time to be affected in any way by punishment.

Rincewind: This boy will go far and fast, but he really needs to learn how to spell.

The Librarian: A great reader, but needs to stop aping the older boys. If he does not develop more ambition he will eventually find himself working for peanuts.

Esmeralda Weatherwax: Errrrr... no problems. None whatsoever. Of any sort. At all. Um... would you please ask your daughter to stop looking at me like that?
