Kat is a very strong, independant and opinionated person who never lets her opinions go to waste, whether they are aimed at her teachers or her fellow peers. She is against dating and often "sneers at the idiocy of teenage social life". She is cynical about many things, and does not believe that she needs to be like most teenagers that she is surrounded by. She says, “You forget I don’t care what other people think”, which directly shows us that she doesn't care for others opinions on her. She strongly dislikes her sister’s eagerness to fit in at school and tells Bianca, “You don’t always have to be what other people want you to be”, which shows us that she thinks Bianca should be herself and not follow in the path that her fellow school mates take.
In this article we are presented with two images, one depicts a young Balinese girl dressed up in all traditional styles of dress performing the local folklore dance as per tradition. While the other picture is of the US pageant start Eden Wood dressed up in a swimsuit with full hair and make up. Harmer presents her contention well; she explains that people shouldn’t be getting all up in arms about child beauty pageants because in reality everyone exploits their children at one time or another in their own way. Her contention is also introduced in the title of the article with the words “SO WHAT!” which sends the message that people really shouldn’t care as much as they are now. In Harmers opening sentence she makes reference to a personal experience that she had while she was holidaying at a hotel in Bali, she says she watched young Balinese girls with their “torsos wrapped in golden fabric, hair elaborately styled, nails painted, eyes fully made up and lips stained ruby red” while they performed alongside their big sisters and mothers, dancing with sheer talent.

All the while, the headmistress Miss Mackay tries to break them up and compile information gleaned from them into sufficient cause to sack Brodie. Miss Mackay has more than once suggested to Miss Brodie that she should seek employment at a 'progressive' school. At this point Mr Lloyd asks Rose and the other girls to pose for him as portrait subjects. Each face he paints ultimately resembles Miss Brodie, as her girls report to her in detail, and she thrills at the telling. One day when Sandy is visiting Mr Lloyd, he kisses
Of course Barbie has had many good role model jobs such as a teacher or a vet, but what was her first job? A super skinny teenage fashion model, and no matter what the job, she’s kept that look that makes most every girl jealous. There are more pressures on girls then ever before about the proper way to look and act and dress. And they feel the need to fit in and that the only way that they can fit in is by looking acting and dressing that certain way. Of course, Barbie is always there to start these trends.
Beauty pageant participant, Kelsey Killeen said, “When I started going into pageants, it gave me so much self-confidence.” Pageant moms believe pageants are a good way to teach their daughters skills needed in life. Eight main skills mothers thought or hoped their children would learn from pageants were acquiring confidence, learning to be comfortable onstage and around strangers, gaining poise, determining the best way to present oneself, realizing the need for practice, learning good sportsmanship, becoming more outgoing and learning to listen (“Child Beauty”). Some parents have even said that they have placed their children in pageants because of a birth defect their child had (“Child Beauty”). These parents wanted to support the fact that their children are normal and beautiful no matter if they have birth defects (“Child Beauty”). In numerous pageants it is required that the contestant raise money for a local
Luckily, two social outcasts, Janice and Damien, showed her around and warned her of all the other social cliques in the school. It is not long until the most popular girl group in the school, the “Plastics”, noticed Cady and invited her to join their group. Turning to her new friends Janice and Damien, Cady is convinced to pretend to be the Plastics’ friend in a plan to overthrow the leader of the group, Regina, and take away the group’s power over the school. Gaining instant popularity, Cady soon found herself sucked into the mean girl lifestyle and wanting to sabotage Regina for her own personal gain. It was not until Cady has
Explain. Toya is not checking her perceptions with others. It is hindering because the supervisor sees that she is being careless with her work. Since Toya does not make sure that the things she is doing are working, it shows that she does not care about her progress at work.

The vocal opinions of the child shocked the headmistress which engages the audience to the edge of the seat. The viewer can assume that after Miss Minchin punishes Sara with all the chores, the child had nothing to loss. This led to Sara convey her beliefs to the headmistress by stating “Every girl is a princess. Didn’t your father ever tell you that? Didn’t he?” (ALP) is a film that truly absorbs the audience with the authentic characters and scenery that tells a story of its own.
What you are trying to avoid won't disappear until you face it I think this quote is true, because it always happens; when we have a problem or situation including problems in school, with teachers, classmates or maybe with friends or in our house or family, sometimes we prefer to avoid it, thinking it will solve by itself and we continuously think about the problem and how to solve it, and we get nervous about it, but we don’t do anything to solve it, just avoid it and avoid it, which makes it worst. When we finally decide to affront it, because we have no way out or we just get enough of this problem or situation and it turns great or at least not as bad as we though we see how easy it was to solve it, and that it would be a hundred times better to do that at the beginning instead of avoiding it. One day I had a situation that goes perfectly with this phrase. About 3 years ago I borrow mi friend’s headphones because I didn’t have any and she wasn’t using them at that time. But like 2 weeks later I was near a pool and the headphones fell into the pool, I took them out of the water quickly and try them to see if they still work but obviously they didn’t.
