Analysis of 'The Vice Principal' Short Story

One possible theme could be authority. The vice principal holds a position of authority and the story might explore how he or she wields it, or the challenges of being in a position of power.

Sure. Once, our vice principal tried to do a skateboarding demonstration during a physical education class. He boasted about his skills but as soon as he stepped on the skateboard, he lost his balance and tumbled right into a pile of sports equipment. Everyone was in stitches, but he took it in good humor and laughed along with us.

Chen Lingjun was the wife of Vice Principal Ye Long. She was in her thirties this year, but she looked like she was only in her twenties. Chen Lingjun used to be a solo artist in the art gallery and was now a music editor at the television station. She was beautiful and elegant. Chen Lingjun and Ye Long were a happy family. They supported and understood each other.

A vice principal at a friend's school once got locked in the supply closet by accident. He was yelling for help and when someone finally opened the door, he came out with a broom in his hand like he was ready to fight an army. Everyone had a good laugh about it.

There was this time when the vice principal decided to join the school's talent show. He thought he could sing like Elvis. He put on a really flamboyant costume and started singing. His voice was not that great but his enthusiasm made it so funny. The whole school was laughing and cheering him on. He ended up winning the 'Most Entertaining Act' award.

The vice principals often had a military - influenced approach. So when dealing with army brats, their strict military - style reactions in a school setting were out of place and thus funny. For example, when an army brat showed up late for school like he was on a military drill delay, the vice principal's attempt to 'court - martial' him in a school - appropriate way, like giving him detention but with military commands, was hilarious.

It could be about a principal solving a mystery at the school. Maybe there's a theft and the principal uses their wits to figure out who did it.

Well, it could be that they are overly strict and don't listen to students' concerns. Maybe they are unfair when giving punishments or show no kindness or understanding.

Well, once there was an army brat who was constantly getting into little 'uniform' mix - ups. The vice principal, a former military man himself, tried to discipline him in a very military - style way. He made the kid do push - ups for wearing his school uniform like an army uniform. But the kid ended up doing them so fast and with such enthusiasm that the vice principal couldn't help but laugh.

The funniest thing was when our vice principal participated in a talent show. He thought he could sing really well. But when he started singing, his voice cracked multiple times. It was like a cat screeching. The whole auditorium was filled with laughter, but he kept on singing until the end. After that, he became a bit of a legend in the school for his 'unique' singing ability.
