    Cultural Norms In Mean Girls

    The introduction of the Mean Girls/Plastics (Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and Karen Smith) shows how physical attractiveness and money are the two most valuable traits that a high school student can have, and how possession of those traits means power for the individual. Gretchen comes from a rich family, Karen is considered to be beautiful, and Regina has both of these characteristics, making her the so-called ‘Queen Bee’. Her powerful role in the social structure of North Shore High School is shown not-so-subtly by depicting a crowd of admirers actually…

    Rhetorical Analysis on High School

    The most disliked teenager that runs the halls is a popular blonde-.... She's tall and slender, with a waist as supple as a willow... slatternly tongue that devastates other kids with such insults.... She has two or three friends exactly like her, and together they dominate their realm. This is the typical popular girl as we in-vision partly because of the movies, but the movies must have gotten the foundation for such a character from a real life all American girl. And although not all stereotypes are true, this one seems to have quite a lot of truth to it. As he goes on into his theories he describes several “everyday American teenagers” from the bitchy popular girl to the gothic kids. But he ends up revealing this character in such a way as the,” male counterpart”. As in movies the typical football player is represented as muscular but dumb, with a face like a of a male model/ pretty boy and only two ways of speaking- in a conspiratorial whisper, to a friend; or in a drill sergeants sudden bellow. Not only does he get into the descriptions of the girls, but the typical jock. If one was too compare and contrast the people in their high school to the ones that Denby is speaking of, they will be able to pin point them perfectly. Denby uses many examples of stereotypes, but also presents ethos. He takes many movies and compares the characters from both views, so in a way he is…

    CAMS 1103 Lab 4

    This movie really depicts the cultural truth-value of gender roles in the current American society. John Tucker is the typical high school jock that is so handsome, athletic, and gets all the girls. All the girls nowadays have an image that every boy that they date should be like that. Also, it is quite a double standard because if a girl were to date 3 guys at the same time, she would be considered a “slut,” but if a guy wants to do that; his boys will say that he is a “stud.” The girls in this film are also depicted as the stereotypical girls who are either the cheerleader for the football or basketball team who get with all the guys, the smart girl who is a nerd, and the girl who is the class “slut” who hooks up with everyone.…

    Mean Girls Essay

    First of all, a similar representation of the group of ‘popular kids’ is evident in Mean Girls and Destroying Avalon. The popular kids are known to us as the ‘A group’ from the novel and as the ‘Plastics’ from the movie. To begin with, the people from the Plastics and the A group are represented in both texts as the cliché or stereotypical bunch of popular people. By saying this, it is being implied that they demonstrate the hackneyed qualities of people with popularity. Both groups are stereotypically shown as being judgemental, two – faced, superficial, mean and exclusive, just to name a few. For example, the people are shown as being two faced and an example of this in Mean Girls is when Regina is talking to Cady and comments on a girl’s skirt. She comments: “Oh my god, I love your skirt. Where did you get it?” However, after the girl leaves, she turns back to Cady and says: “That’s the ugliest f-ing…
