Page "Daria Morgendorffer" Paragraph 16

Anita Gates of The New York Times says " The Morgendorffers don't even seem to notice that Daria constantly gives them lip.

" In one scene, when Helen, her mother, says, " There's no course that can teach you to be a perfect mother ," Daria responds " That's obvious.

" Gates says that " nobody sends her to her room.

" Gates also said that Quinn Morgendorffer, Daria's sister, is " the greatest burden on the home front.

" Jane Lane, Daria's best friend, met her at a self-esteem class.

Gates adds that Jane " knows all of Daria's peculiarities and still loves her.

" Gates said that Daria's " silent intense crush " on Trent Lane is her " only discernible weakness " and that " the absolute proof that Jane is a good friend is that she knows how Daria feels about Trent and will never, ever tell.
