Obedience was used in order to provide an example of how girls should act towards their superiors, in particular, their parents. A tremendous focus is on Little Red Riding Hood’s appearance as the superlative ‘prettiest’ displays, this leads people to be ‘fond’ and to ‘dote’ upon her, increasing her vulnerability as ‘predators’ are drawn to her or as Perrault wanted to show, men. Also, the repetition of the attributive ‘little’ alongside the common noun ‘girl’ highlights Little Red Riding Hood’s defencelessness. However, naivety is her ultimate downfall leading her to a grisly end. Despite the warnings that she should go straight to her Grandmother’s, Little Red Riding Hood becomes distracted by feminine pursuits, portrayed through the compound sentence “…gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and gathering bouquets of little flowers.” This emphasises her age and vulnerability as she isn’t aware of her surroundings and the danger they can impose.
Right off the bat one can assume that a girl’s camp would be for anything but a physical training camp. Possibly the motive could be to mature rude and disrespectful youth or teach manners and etiquette. The story would probably have snobby and stuck-up girls as the main group of characters being sent by their parents to the camp for help. One would picture the girl’s counselors as being more caring and understanding, compared to the immature and careless counselors in the boy’s camp. For example when Goodenow fails his attempt to drown himself in the “tank” the artificial lake, the book mentions the counselors and spectators not caring at all and just poking fun.
Movie Bullets: Mean Girls Emotional Intelligence: The ability to understand and manage one’s own emotions and to be sensitive to others feelings. A good example of this is when Cady wins Spring Fling Queen and gives a speech to her class that her victory isn’t just about her, its about all the girls. They are all wonderful in their own way and therefore the victory belongs to everyone. As a symbolic gesture, she breaks her tiara and gives the pieces to her fellow classmates. She’s controlling her own happiness and is sensitive to the other girls.
Mean Girls is one of the most watched movies in today's society. It seems as though people of all gender, sex, age, race, ethnicity, class have seen this movie and can relate to some aspect of it. A brutal portrayal of high school cliques, Mean Girls depicts everyday high school struggles for students and teachers. The popular group of girls, referred to as the "Plastics", control every aspect of the school by using their good looks, money, popularity, and power. They are middle class white girls who, with the exception of Cady, receive all the materialistic items that are the most desirable because their parents can afford it.
Scout is shown as being a rude, quick-tempered, hot- headed little girl who sees nothing wrong with beating up anyone who angers her. This is most prominent when she decides to beat up Walter Cunningham after he accidentally gets her in trouble with the teacher on the first day of school. Scout says: “catching Walter Cunningham in the schoolyard gave me some pleasure, but when I was rubbing his nose in the dirt Jem came by and told me to stop. Walters’s fists were half cocked, as if expecting an onslaught from both of us. I stomped at him to chase him away, but Jem put out his hand and stopped me” (Lee 23).
The part that was cut out was one little black centaur a girl with barrettes in her hair. She was wiping the hooves of the other centaurs and brushing their hair while the little baby cupids, she had no mate she was just a little servant. (Cite here) We all know the story of Pocahontas; a lot of people only know the Disney version. The movie does have some truth to it but is definitely racist. John Smith a colonist coming to find the new world, a very stunning, kind young man.
The preppy cheerleader type, Hanna, was a brunette who has an obsession with shopping for high end goods. Mona, Hanna’s best friend, dies at the end of the fourth book, Unbelievable. On the other hand, the television series displays Emily as a girl with a darker skin tone, and looks as if she is a combination of Latino and Oriental ethnicity. She also wears more snug fitting clothing, thus, giving her a more feminine appearance. Portrayed as a brunette, Jason is almost as much a part of the television
When Seymour told Franny and Zooey to do it for the fat lady, they both pictured the most grotesque, disgustingly obese woman then could think of. This way, no matter what they were doing, if they could do it for someone that disgusting, they could for anyone. Seymour wanted both Franny and Zooey to always do their best, and he pushed his beliefs onto them so that they would do so. Inadvertently, Seymour somewhat ruined the Glass children. Franny flourished while she was young, so she always expected the best out of everything.
(This isn’t a text response essay, but think of him noticing the shape of the poisoned child’s skull; consider him pondering the ease with which the blacks found the food they needed yet still had time to play with their children. Think of your own prejudices and be honest about them. I’m not going to confess my own here, but I had to bite down on a racist reaction to a woman who won a lot of money on Deal or No Deal during the holidays. BTW, speaking of dumb, I’ve only watched it once in my life – my son had to explain how it worked – and I was recovering from flu.) Given who Thornhill was, and his lack of opportunity in England, he couldn’t return.
She longs to look like an innocent white girl, as this is the ideological view of perfection for many people during this time which can be backed up by the quote 'everybody's dream of what was right with the world'. This is because these white girls are able to escape the intolerance that Maya wishes to avoid. Angelou explains how once she tries on the dress that Momma has sewn, she is going to look like a 'movie star' and a 'sweet little white girl', however, when she puts it on, it is revealed to be a 'plain ugly cut-down from a white woman's once-was-purple throwaway'.
