"The Secret War of Lisa Simpson" is the 25th episode of ''The Simpsons'' ==Plot== After a day of watching mind numbing videos in class, Lisa becomes increasingly concerned that her education is not advanced enough and confronts Principal Skinner about it; however, he is unable to do anything for her, stating that providing more challenging school activities would only frustrate the less intelligent students. Meanwhile, Bart's class visits the Springfield Police Department on a field trip, where Bart is left alone with several megaphones. After putting them all end-to-end to compound and increase their amplification, and then saying "Testing" into them, Bart inadvertently creates a massive sonic feedback loop, sending out a tremendous shock wave that shatters anything made out of glass in Springfield. In an effort to cure Bart of his juvenile-delinquent mindset, Chief Wiggum suggests sending Bart to Rommelwood, a military school, due to military school having dealt with his brother in the past. The entire Simpson family takes Bart to the school (initially fooling him into thinking they are going to Disneyland before he learns the truth on the journey), much to Seymor and Edna's delight, where Lisa sees that the students are being given challenging school work. Instead of going home, she decides to stay at the school with Bart; although Marge and the school's Commandant are both originally against the idea, they reluctantly agree to let her attend. Lisa is originally enthusiastic about her new environment, but gradually her presence stirs discontent among the other students, as she is the first female student and gets her own barracks to herself. Bart and Lisa are both subject to harsh hazing, but while Bart is eventually accepted by the other students, and thus distances himself from his sister, Lisa remains an outcast. Lisa grapples with her isolation and even considers calling Marge and asking to be brought home, but decides to stay and see it through. As the school year comes to a close, the Commandant reveals the final test for the students: a hand-over-hand crawl across a rope suspended 40 feet above a patch of thorn bushes, referred to as the "Eliminator". Lisa fears that she will not be able to complete the task, but Bart secretly helps her train for the challenge. The next day, all of the students cross the Eliminator, including Bart. Lisa is the last to go, and while she struggles and nearly falls at first, she manages to cross safely after being cheered on by Bart. As a result, the other students vow to make the rest of the semester a living hell for him, but this backfires when the students find out that the semester ends with graduation three hours later, so they leave him alone. As a result of her efforts, Lisa is awarded by the Commandant with a medal, "For Satisfactory Completion of the Second Grade." As a reward for completing military school, Homer tells Bart and Lisa this time "we thought we'd take you to Disneyland for real", but it turns out to be another trick, as they have actually been taken to the dentist, much to Homer and Marge's amusement and Bart and Lisa's indignation.〔〔.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Secret War of Lisa Simpson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
