Quote by John Green
High school is neither a democracy nor a dictatorship - nor, contrary to popular belief, an anarchic state. High school is a divine-right monarchy. And when the queen goes on vacation, things change.
Summary
This quote humorously describes high school as a divine-right monarchy. It suggests that high school is not a democracy where everyone has equal power, nor a dictatorship with one authoritative figure in control, or chaos-driven anarchy. Instead, it portrays high school as a hierarchical system, where the queen (perhaps referring to a prominent figure or leader), holds all the power and influence. When the queen is absent, it implies that the dynamics and behaviors within the school change as the power structure is disrupted and altered.
