Line 11:
* '''Double Subverted''': Polly's cheery facade may have cracked, but her optimism is sincerely felt - everyone has their off days.
* '''Parodied''': Polly skips, smiling, through a [[Crapsack World]], [[Disney Creatures of the Farce|singing duets with turkey vultures]] and blowing kisses to [[Disaster Scavengers]].
* '''Zig Zagged''': The work veers all over the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]], while Polly's characterisation switches from [[Princess Classic]] to Stepford Smiler [[Depending Onon the Writer]].
* '''Averted''': Polly's fairly realistic in her worldview.
* '''Deconstructed''': Polly's sunny outlook doesn't stop the world trying its best to [[Break the Cutie]]. It's revealed to be a struggle for her to constantly pretend to be in a good mood, putting her under even more stress than simply riding out the storm would have done.
