Meanwhile, Tina must do a report on The Call Of The Wild but is struggling to get through the book. Linda admits she never did her assigned readings in school, instead using “pizzazz” to impress her teachers. Linda dresses Tina up like a dog, ties a wheelbarrow to her back in lieu of a sled, and choreographs an elaborate musical number that Tina can neither sing nor remember. When Tina does the presentation, she tears off her dog outfit and wheelbarrow in a fit of frustration. The teacher and class are both impressed, believing she embodied the “savage” themes of the book with her performance.
