The well known phrases ¨grease is the word¨, and ¨what team? Wildcats¨ emerged decades apart, yet from almost the same movie. With a twenty eight year age gap between the movies Grease and High School Musical, there were bound to be some differences in the way the characters handled their problems.

Typical high school experiences are taken and magnified in this movie. The regular school dance was intensified and stakes grew due to the live broadcasting from “National Bandstand”. The exaggeration of a typically normal event allowed Grease to demonstrate what goes on in high schools on a more transparent and obvious level. In the same regards, the sleepover scene did the same thing. Taking a normal occasion and amplify it reveals the most basic experiences that a high school could potentially face.
