10 Things I Hate About You

To start, the film seems like your basic run-on-the mill coming of age tale with a group of teenagers growing up to desire more after they graduate high school. However, there are various more themes discreetly displayed throughout the runtime of the film. For example, one central sociological overtone of this film is Marxism. With this overtone, it becomes possible to view this light-hearted and comedic movie in a

A quote that most describes Patrick is “After a while, his eyes lost the glazey numb look from the wine or the coffee or the fact that he had stayed up the night before. Then, he started crying. Then, he started talking about Brad."(Chbosky, May 11,1992). Patrick is a person who expresses his feeling by crying after something big and then wants to move on from it. Patrick made a big deal about this because he had been with Brad for a long time and then for Brad to ignore him made him angry and for Patrick the only way to express that is in the form of tears. Patrick had been going though a lot at this time so he used charlie to help him get through this so he was not

It can be offending to some people and I personally do not agree with everything in this movie. For example the thought that popular girls are all mean and only care about themselves. That could offend some girls. Another stereotype was that smart people are uncool and nerds. It was seen as bad to hangout with the nerds and it would damage your social profile.

Petruchio may have been mean to her in order to tame her but by the end; he shows how he truly loves her. “Come, my sweet Kate/Better once than never, for never too late” (Shakespeare Vi 149-150). Kat’s sonnet about her feelings towards Patrick show that she has accepted that she can be in love. This is her version of being “tamed” because she can rely on someone other than herself. Patrick uses the money he made dating her to buy her a guitar and beg for her forgiveness. He has fallen for her though that was no his original intention. “I thought you could use it. You know, when you start your band. Besides, I had some extra cash, you know. Some asshole paid me to take out a really great girl but I screwed up. I fell for her” (10 Things I Hate About You). Besides the story, the filmmakers have used several exact lines from the play in the movie. Cameron echoes Lucentio’s line, “I burn, I pine, I perish”(Shakespeare Ii 155) when he sees Bianca for the first time. Kat, like Kate, tells her sister “You don't always have to be who they want you to be” (10 Things I Hate About You). The filmmakers kept Shakespeare’s story of love and deceit intact in the modernization.

The interesting, classic old fashion American film directed by John Hughes and also written by Ned Tanen called the Breakfast Club is a well known movie realised on the 2nd of May 1985. The movie is about 5 kids called Brian, Andrew, Claire, Allison and John who are stuck in detention with the nasty, mean and evil vice principal for different reasons. Together they get to know each other having lots of fights with each other at first but then in the end, everyone knows each other so well that they are all best of friends. It is one of the best movies in which uses lots off different variety of scenes and acting of particular personalities to be able to stereotypes of the six characters. One stereotype in particular is shown a lot across the

The Breakfast Club is a classic 1980’s film depicting the various lives of a group of extremely diverse high school students; each dealing with and trying to overcome their own obstacles and challenges. Despite the initial conflict between the characters due to them all coming from different backgrounds and social cliques, they soon learn that they are not all so different from one another and are each struggling with similar problems within themselves and their personal lives. They eventually learn to accept the differences between each other and realize the falseness of some of their internalized values and stereotypes that they hold against others and themselves. The Breakfast club perfectly exhibits how stereotypes effect our lives, illustrates

Colón Semenza, he reminds filmmakers that they must find the sexual and risque elements in the texts and exploit them. Much of the success of Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You can be credited to the themes of teenage experimentation with drugs and sex. In an poll on Forever Young Adult, the films Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You tied for first place as thousands of teenagers voted for the best teen film of all time. The sub-categories which represented the most important themes in both movies included, but were not limited to, which movie had a better high school caste system, a better party, and a better looking teen heartthrob to play the love interest. This poll, made by teens for teens, proves that in a piece of classical literature can only be adapted into one of the most successful teen films of all time if the filmmakers find suggestive and exciting themes in the text and bring them to life on

However, during this time, Patrick is relatively quiet and does not react with any emotion, in which he seems to be passive. The author leaves the reader with an eerie idea as Patrick goes to retrieve another

Another example of Gender Politics, similarly seen during the teen drama film ’10 Things I Hate About You’ uses the relationship between a Father and his

The main issue that the movie raises is the idea that being subjected to peer pressure and malicious parenting

Was America founded as a Christian nation? This is a controversial topic for all Americans. There are a lot of sayings and supports for both sides of understanding. However, as for myself, I do not believe the United States has a Christian foundation. The reasons why I am not on the side of support are the words of former Presidents and Founding Fathers, requirements in US policies, and deductive reasoning from the past.

One behavior that I would like to improve for myself is increasing my daily physical activity level. I chose to utilize the Revised Health Promotion Model (HPM) to address this behavior. Upon reviewing the various models and theories in chapter three of the textbook, the revised Health Promotion model stood out to me and I felt many aspects of the model are perfect to address the behavior I selected to change. The three main components of the model focus on the individual characteristics and experiences, behavior-specific cognition and affect, and the behavioral outcome (Pender et al., 2011). All of these components are essential when planning and intervening to change a behavior. The text states “Research indicates that often the best predictor of behavior is the frequency of the same or similar behavior in the past. Prior behavior is posed to have both direct and indirect

The modern appropriation, Ten Things I Hate About You, goes along the same story line however it is quite evident that the different context has a significant impact upon the content.

The movie 10 Things I Hate About You is comparable to the book The Taming of the Shrew. William Shakespeare wrote The Taming of the Shrew with the focus of marriage in the 1500s. 10 Things I Hate About You is a romantic comedy that was made in the 1900s. In The Taming of the Shrew and 10 Things I Hate About You, Petruchio and Patrick are similar because they are manipulative and indifferent to other’s opinions of themselves; however, Patrick is more compassionate.

The current state of the world as we know it is truly in a state of disarray, and is progressively getting worse with each and every passing day. Immorality has become the “front runner” (as it pertains to the pernicious things that are permeating throughout the world) for the tenacious decline that has taken this world by storm. One might easily say that, “This has been the case for ions of years” and it might very well be the case. Nevertheless, not since biblical times (speculative speaking) has there been such an outright, disrespectful, arrogant, and “out in the open” type of way that the world seems to be sinfully living. It almost appears that Situation Ethics has become the new “mandate”, and the Bible is now being viewed as “archaic”, or not applicable to anyone today! Therefore, since this is the case in our society than who’s influence is it going to take to help turn this world around? Undoubtedly, it’s going to have to be the Church.
