Transformative Journey Is A Process That Helps A Person Change And Develop For Both Good And Bad
Transformative Journey is a process that helps a person to change and to develop for both good and bad. This is a change that is universal to the human experience. This is explored through the themes of acceptance and revenge in the film Mean Girls by Mark Waters (2004) and my related text, the film adaptation of the novel written by F.Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (2013) by Baz Luhrmann filmed in 2013. The movie adaptation of the book The Great Gatsby originally written by F .Scott Fitzgerald tells the story of Nick Carraway and his friendship to Jay Gatsby. The movie is set from a hospital were Nick is persuaded to write a therapeutic account of the past 7 years of his life.
Through these literary devices we can see that Acceptance can help a person develop and change positively or negatively. The theme of acceptance is present in both movies. As seen in the film Mean Girls, the scene labelled as, “Meeting the Plastics” shows the Plastics inviting Cady to sit with them during lunch. This is one of the first stages of acceptance. Regina expresses her joy for Cady by inviting her with “to sit with them (us) for the rest of the week”, she does this with the perception of happiness for Cady however there is an undertone of reluctance and she sees Cady as a threat. This is one of the last times we see Cady so innocent and naïve to the American Culture, before she transforms into a clone. They use a single camera shot in this scene. While Regina is taking to the Plastics, this shot is used between the Plastics, Cady and Janis, to show the anticipation of their decision. This first stage of acceptance shows Cady in her most innocent and thus begins her transformative journey.
Though the use of more literary devices we can see that Acceptance isn’t something easily gained and can change a person for better or for worse. Another example of the theme acceptance can be seen in my related text, The Great Gatsby. The scene labelled as “Gatsby Loses it”, shows us
