Stereotypes In The Movie Clueless

She points out that girls emphasis a lot on their body image and they tend to drop out of sports because they think their body appearances look funny doing certain sports. “The Woman’s Sport Foundation found that 6 girls drop out of sports for every 1 boy by the end of high school and a recent Girl Scout study fund 23 percent of girls between the ages 11 and 17 do not play sport because they do not think their bodies look good doing so (Hans pg. 511). Hanes is also able to create pathos by relating to other mothers and giving a glimpse of the unhealthy side of the media and how it effects their

During the time of the Great Depression people did not know about mental disabilities and that is why Lennie was not treated fairly. Lennie got into a lot of trouble at work, which caused for him and George to find different jobs all the time. An example of when Lennie and George had to leave a job because of Lennie’s actions was when they were in Weed and Lennie touched the girl’s dress and would not let go. The only reason why Lennie did that was because he saw something he liked and he did not want to let go and he became scared when she started to scream. People during this time period were unaware of mental disabilities which made it hard for them to get jobs.

His voice concerning the sexual relationships men had resorted to, is heard through the actions of specific characters. The failure of males to show emotional connections to the women they interact with, and the violence brought about by sleeping around, show how promiscuity was demeaning to women in the period of new female independence. Bernard Marx was a member of the Alpha community that never quite fit in. Since he followed different ideals than everyone else, Huxley used him to show the concern towards the rapidly changing way of life. Bernard often chooses to listen on the sidelines, rather than partake in the conversation as higher class men speak poorly of women.

He makes the readers beliefs of gender roles clearer by basically saying men attended with honor and respect but the women only went to be nosey. This ultimately characterize women as having less decency. During the life of Emily's Father, he doesn't allow her to date. Emily father thinks their family is

Ostrovsky admits in her article that most women are “terrified at the thought of having a daughter”. That proves that the pressure of gender roles still affect the thoughts of people today. Women’s attitudes always change when they chose to hear the sex of the child as supported by these

She makes it well known her father is rich, similar to Emma, whose father is also rich. In addition, Cher does lost her mother and does not have any memories and in chapter one of Emma, the narrator explains how Emma was too young to remember her mother’s existence. Another example of similarity is when Cher (Alicia Silverstone) tries to play matchmaker and sets up her debate teacher (Mr. Hall) and history teacher (Miss. Geist). Comparatively, Emma pairs her

For instance, many of the characters’ problems in the novel revolve around marriage, which is very important topic to the people who lived during the Regency Period. Unlike the aristocrats, marriage is not really racking the mind of a typical high school student in the twentieth century, but who dates who is— especially in terms of social position. Like Mr. Elton, Elton would never date a girl like Tai because she does not come from a wealthy background, and thus, is not on his level. Also, as Emma vows to preserve her independence by staying single, Cher declares to maintain her independence by staying a virgin. People who watch this movie now, especially teenagers, can find these dilemmas more relatable than reading about teenagers who struggle to find an idyllic

This proved when the narrator’s mother always tried to get the narrator to do work that appropriate for a lady instead of outside work, however it was not something that she enjoyed. The narrator also was not considered of real helper to her father because she was a female. This proved when her father introduced the narrator as ‘his new hired hand’ to a salesman, he replied, “I thought it was only a girl” (line 76, paragraph 10).This shows how the society view girl as ‘just a girl’ at that time and it means that their roles are not really significant in the society. As being said by Alexander Pope (1688-1744), “Most women have no character at all.” (Bressler, C.E., 2011). Next, from the statement “wait till Laird gets a little bigger, then you’ll have a real help” (line 94, paragraph 12), it shows that, even though the narrator had done more work than her younger brother, she was still under appreciated and her helps seem unimportant for her father.

Collins are villains because of their unjust arrogance. An example of Mayella being villainous is when she finds herself kissing Tom Robinson. She knew that she was white and he was black, and he was considered below her. Yet he was a married man and true to his wife. Further, the jurors didn’t need to pay attention to the facts of the case due to their overpowering self respect.

A girl can be seen as beautiful and attractive, but continued to be shunned - all because they don’t wear the latest trends in fashion (but what if they like wearing solid colors or nerdy shirts from Walmart?). They may have a great personality that would attract many suitors in the nineteenth century, but if it is not up to the status of some people, they’re deemed unworthy. It is honestly one of the saddest things I have witnessed and experienced. Through The Body Project, Brumberg explains how American girls have shifted from judging a girl through her personality and internal character to judging through her appearance. But as we become more comfortable with our bodies, American girls are going through yet another shift: we are judging girls based on not just their appearance, but also through their material possessions.
