  • Self Identity In Mean Girls

    901 Words  | 2 Pages

    The adolescence is proposing questions of self-identity and trying to understand more of self during these years. Mean Girls emphasizes these self-identifications by capturing different cliques and group of people that the high schoolers associate and label themselves as. For instance in the film, Cady is being accepted by Janis and Damian, but they want Cady to engage in a risky behavior by associating herself as “The Plastics.” This plan started out with the intention of trying to find out more high school secrets and to humiliate “The Plastics,” but Cady turned more like them as she received more acceptance by them. Mean Girls demonstrates not only the sense of self emerging during the adolescent age, but the struggles of all it takes to find a sense of self-identity. Cady eventually put her relationship with Janis and Damian, parents, and acquaintances of school on the line by trying to maintain her “Plastic”

  • Movie Review: Jawbreaker And Mean Girl, Heathers

    1834 Words  | 4 Pages

    A movie about a girl in a clique that has to deal with teen suicide with a rebel teen heartthrob. To being our comparison of bad characters versus good girls gone bad; we have a girl named Veronica. Veronica is a teen that is sick of her popular friends. She is superior throughout the movie, because she isn’t compensating for anything nor does she feel inferior; but you can tell she is losing herself completely because of a hot bad boy. There are times where the main Heather is trying to control her; but she fights back and even when she falls to pressure she still tries to distance herself from them. This is what makes her--her own person. She is disgusted by people trying to gain something from the “suicides” at school and she’s disgusted with the other Heather when she notice her wearing main Heather’s bow. Those are great examples of her not trying to gain something for her own benefit. While she is a teen who is superior, her life style isn’t just social interest. The reason why I would say she is social interest because at the beginning we see that she is trying to talk to more people beyond her clique or social order. She also cares about others feelings and doesn’t see the “dorks” as just dorks. For an example, when Heather D tells Veronica that an unpopular girl tried to kill herself, “so she can copy the cool kids”; in shock and anger Veronica slaps Heather D. Another reason why Heather

    The movie that I chose to do my analysis on, is Mean Girls because it is my all-time favorite movie. I watched it a million times, it never gets old and plus I know every single line in the movie. The main character Cady, played by Lindsay Lohan, exhibits how to go from being a nerd, popular, hated and rehabilitated all in one school year. It’s hilarious movie about high school but, it also covers many interpersonal concepts that we learned in class like: verbal communication, conflict and relationship dynamics. Before I provide my analysis, I’ll present my brief summary on the movie Mean Girls.
