Clueless: A Short Story

“How has Amy Heckerling used film techniques to portray the transformation of ‘Cher’ in her film, ‘Clueless’?”

Going to college to receive a higher education could be one of the biggest obstacles of your life. If it is not the biggest obstacle than it’s certainly the most important. Frank Bruni’s opening question is more appealing to the transition from HighSchool to College. In HighSchool we were all taught to think a certain way when completing any task that dealt with learning. We were taught to remember and understand any work that was taught to students. Even when teachers gave test, they were only testing your ability to remember the material given. High school teachers’ number one objective was for students to remember what is said to pass the exam. However, in college these thinking skills are not acceptable. So approaching Frank Bruni’s opening question “‘What’s the most transformative educational experience you’ve had?’” I had to approach this question with higher thinking or else it would be a High School placement essay. I responded by of course using a little remembering and understanding because I have to understand the words in the question and remember the meaning of them. However, I mostly used theoretical ideas, some logic, understood the value of the question, and finally I combined all of my approaches to see how it would positively increase my diversity in college knowledge.

The following day we packed our things and prepared to move, the tension in the house could be

“You read the same books over and over. Sometimes they were good books, but sometimes they weren’t,” my mother tells me later. It’s not like her to make such unequivocal value judgments. I was reading some dreck. Now we both agree I was figuring out their mechanisms. Like a science-minded kid dissecting a clock, but with fewer cogs and springs left on the floor, waiting to embed themselves in an unsuspecting foot. “Still,” she says, shaking her head, “a novelization of Clueless?” I’ve told her and told her: Cher Negotiates New York was a novelized sequel.

There was a split in the path. The sky was dark. I was sweating in my Indiana Jones costume. I could barely notice my family and friends next to me. The moon off to the side was are only light. My mother pointed and said

On a damp and slightly foggy evening on the coast of South Hampton, midsouth in England, a man the name of Andrew Jackson Walks onto the port of where a major role in his life is about to be fulfilled. Andrew had always seen things in his dreams but this was surreal to him. He had previously bought a ticket onto a so-called “unsinkable ship” and he was eager to see why his dream had lead him here. His dreams were always quite colorful and imaginative, but they always seemed so farfetched yet surreal. A place that he could almost imagine he was standing in the very place he was now, yet this time it only seemed like a dream, it’s a dream he has had for a long time. Going out to sea, eating divine food prepared by talented chefs, and maybe meeting a new friend or two. He thought of all this just standing there, at this marvelous

Once upon a time in a place similar (100% might be the same world that we live in), lived one man and this man is known as Blank. This is not gonna be like the other origin stories, this one is gonna be so random that you would think that this make no sense. Soon you will realize everything in the story has another meaning so let's get right into the story.

Clueness was just a little boy, or a little hippo to be exact. He has grown up in Detroit, Michigan his whole 4 years of life. When growing up he noticed that the other kids had big animals that would look after them called, parents. He has never had parents, that he could remember, he has always had to take care of himself in a little cave in the woods. Clueness started to think " why don't I have parents, and if I do where are mine." As he was thing about his parents, he swiftly drifted away into his sleep.

The events which have unravelled before my very eyes have truly made me aware of the detestable and ignominious nature of the people which, at one point, I had some respect for. Now, not even kernel of reverence is left within me. The affairs which were so horrific in nature have left but an inch of hope in the future of us as human beings. The way that these so called ‘popular’ kids acted towards a peer left me in awe of how truly spiteful and poignant someone can act when threatened. So as I sit here, typing away at my worn laptop keys, I struggle to think of anything to say in the defence of these horrifyingly short-tempered, short fused year 7’s, humanity seems to disappear in a flash of spiteful light: Simply disgusting.

Unlike other supernatural beings demons didn’t really have a leader so demon luke walked around Earth in his human form. Normally he would kill humans as then the rest of the years that the humans were supposed to live were given to him and this way he got live for centuries.

What the hell was Miles doing. He was grasping the mother of his child as hard as he could. Easing up Miles noticed just how hard he had been holding her. There was a mark where his hand used to be it was definitely going to bruise.

Something about the way she was so confident. Not afraid to fall. Not afraid to crash. Things the younger me wasn’t able to relate to. She skated by with her violet colored helmet flashing in the corner of my eye. I jumped up, surprised by the sudden movement so close to me. Coming to a stop, she paused to relax her tense body and took a moment to catch her breath. Walking up to her, I introduced myself, eager to seem cool in front of a kid my age who was interesting. Her enthusiasm about meeting me encouraged me to try to befriend her. Attempting to contain her excitement, Jenna introduced me to her parents, immediately taking off outdoors.

Forgotten. Colt is ten years old, sitting on a bench outside Casey’s General Store by himself. He was in the bathroom when his parents left. Colt was feeling sour, because it was the third time this month his parents forgot him. He would use a phone to call them but he doesn’t have one. Then a guy walked up to him and asked, “Do you need a ride Colt?”

Other people can change the choises in our life. Friends and families and maybe some famous can chang the
