The movie Little Miss Sunshine offers a satirical approach in defining success. Success is defined by having one winner and achieving progress through hard work. Richard, Olive's father, defines success as having only one clear winner by stating that there are only “two kinds of people in this world, winners and losers.” Richard, being a motivational speaker on success should know what it takes to become a successful individual; however, he does not exhibit the qualities that he preaches. In the beginning of the movie, he preaches a nine-step “Refuse to Lose” program that states there are only winners and losers in the world, but everyone can become a winner with the help of the program. It is ironic Richard is preaching how to become a winner and succeed in life, because he is bankrupt and struggling to find success in selling his book.

Society’s Unrealistic Expectations of Physical Beauty Betsy Gwinnett Ogeechee Technical College The poem Barbie doll by Marge Piercy is about what women think they should do to fit into the American society’s view of how one should look. In this poem it tells of how the girl was “healthy, tested intelligent, possessed strong arms and back, abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity.” She had no issues with how she was born and was a perfectly healthy girl. She would have continued to be mentally healthy if not corrupted by the societal views of what beauty is. The American society has been telling young woman for years what they should wear and how they should look. The problem is this standard is so unreal and changes from day to day that how can any woman truly be this so called perfect woman?

The movie goes on following Holly and Paul as they develop a close relationship. But what I most love about the movie is Holly’s unconventional and naïve ways, she has a sense of class and wit in how she goes about life. I first watched this movie when I was 8 years old and have loved it ever since, the movie’s unconventional and somewhat awkward moments make it the most memorable and make it completely stand out from the typical romantic movies today. Despite ending in a somewhat predictable outcome of Holly and Paul falling in love, the journey they take in order to profess their love for each other is the most exciting, due to Holly’s unpredictable ways. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is currently an awarded classic in American pop culture and I believe it will continue to impact its viewers in the
