Comparison Of Thirteen Reasons Why And Girl, Interrupted

Identity; Romance; Segregation; Beauty; Friendship; Within the film industry’s classic interpretation of female adolescents, these elements of teen culture are typically represented. A film’s demonstration of themes such as relationship tensions or social status struggles are that which attracts the popular viewership of female adolescents, for they are personally dealing with similar experiences. Furthermore, in continually representing the aforementioned traditional elements of teen culture, the film industry seems to make it so films’ story-lines and characterizations adapt to and directly reflect the era in which the film is set. This adaptation is significantly demonstrated in the popular teen films The Breakfast Club (1985), Clueless (1995), and Mean Girls (2004) as they each clearly and diversely characterize young women based on the distinct time period and the cultural attitude towards teen girls of that time. The Breakfast Club (1985) details five high school students in Illinois, a nerd, a jock, a bad boy, a weirdo, and a

The book and the movie of the Outsiders are two very different stories. The book has so much more detail then the movie. The movie is not the most detailed but it does get its point across. There are may similarities and also many differences between the two the book is by far more interesting and more detailed then the movie. I enjoyed the book a lot and the movies a lot but the movie was missing a lot.

Once Clark gave a good advice “The person who completes suicide, dies once. Those left behind die a thousand deaths, trying to relive those terrible moments and understand … Why?” Although the person who commits suicide only dies once, but everyone will be affected by their deaths this means that the act of suicide can cause a ripple effect, dispersing pain and grief among the survivors. Every day, thousands of teens attempt suicide in the U.S. — the most extreme outcome for the millions of children in this country who struggle with mental health issues. In March 2017 Netflix released a show based on a novel by Jay Asher called ‘’Thirteen Reasons Why’ ’The 13-episode drama, co-produced by actress and pop star Selena Gomez, is based on Jay Asher’s young-adult bestseller about Hannah Baker, a high school student who kills herself and leaves behind audiotapes detailing the events that led to her death. In each tape, she essentially blames her death on the actions (or inaction) of a group of classmates and a faculty member.

First, I applaud the movie for daring to tell a story that nobody else presumed creating. Even in 2005, this was a pretty prohibited thing to discuss. To its credit, the movie follows the original story fairly close, but a details were left out that made all the difference.

The movie thirteen touched many important factors of adolescent’s development. Some of the ones I want to concentrate in this paper are: family system, developmental tasks, and peer pressure.

S.E Hinton’s, “The Outsiders” and Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s ,“Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” are two young adult novels with greatly different stories yet support the same ideology. Both works focus on the lives of two teenage boys, Ponyboy, of Hinton’s novel, and Aristotle, of Sáenz’s. The story of Ponyboy takes place in the year 1969, and focuses on a huge but short period of his life. It tells about his struggle as an orphan under the care of his two older brothers and deals with gang violence, socioeconomic status, and death. Whereas, the story of Aristotle takes place during the 1980’s and covers a long period of his life and involves his experiences with his relationship with his hands-on parents, his sexual orientation, and struggling with his awkward years. There are many conceptions of what is appropriate for young readers, but these two novels defend that young people should be informed. By examining “The Outsiders” and “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe”, this ideology of communicating mature topics to these readers is supported as the characters of both novels deal with the challenges of belonging, identity, and staying true to themselves, as well as reinforce the notion that adolescents can benefit from this knowledge.

Majority of movies don’t follow along with the books as an example my class read “The Outsiders” was written by S.E. Hinton and the director for the movie was Francis Ford Coppola. “The Outsiders” was about seven friends that were greasers, three whom were siblings, a greaser is a person who has long greasy hair, live on south side of town, and they ain't rich kids, but one night something happened that changed everything . We ended up seeing the movie but some of the scenes were nothing alike the book. I mean to be totally honest there wasn’t a lot of errors just missing some important parts I wouldn’t say they added some scenes to it. Naturally they were young men acting like greasers, but they really acted really well as a family, that is what I think made the movie like a true family bond. I think how they acted like very close and like caring, it was really good because in the book and the movie they were all very close and they acted like a real family. This writing is about what the differences are in the movie from the book and what important parts I thought they missed and didn't put in the movie what kind of

How could two juvenile delinquents who share many differences and similarities have such a solid friendship? In the novel The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton, Dallas Winston and Johnny cade are very different, but besides their differences they have a special bond. Although they have differences such as advice giving, and rule following, they also have similarities like comparable parents and their concern for each other.

The Outsiders book and movie are the same but also very different to. These are some of the similarities I saw in the movie and book. It generally goes across the same idea/lesson that we are all the same rich,poor, or average. And that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, like some greasers are mean but some are nice, and how some socs are mean and some are nice. Also in the movie and the book they also both explain how johnny’s home life was harsh and brutal were no one in the home cared or loved for him. Also that Pony,Darry, and Soda were living them three, because of their parents dying in a car crash suddenly. It also shows that the greaser are like family nothing can break them apart, and they trust each other with their lives and love and care for them more than some of their own parents care for them. It also talks about in the movie and book that Johnny killed Bob

One reason teens should read 13 reasons why is because it teaches people that words someone says can actually hurt people. Words truly do hurt, and at this moment Hannah Baker is standing in a store named Blue Spot. Hannah is about to experience that very situation of how words can hurt. While Hannah is standing at the cash register a guy walks in, Hannah doesn't like him because he has put her on the list of best butt in high school class. This guy walk around the store and then walks up behind Hannah and stood there waiting,

The novel, Girl, Interrupted is a memoir of author Susana Kaysen’s life and her journey through early adulthood as she suffered with Borderline Personality Disorder. The novel captures her time at McLean Hospital, a psychiatric hospital located in Belmont, Massachusetts. Kaysen divides the novel into separate anecdotes of events and fellow patients she encountered during the two years she was admitted at Mclean.

Restricted by the society of his time, Clay finds his freedom and outlet through his passion for writing and infinitely, through his love for Tracy Bacon. A miracle New York had spat out for Mr. Clay only to reprimand it’s miracle harshly and create a dim truth that would illuminate Sammy’s life for the rest of his remaining days. It is important to realize that New York, while piping hot and burning, is capable of producing gentle truths and reminding one of them with a needle-stacked and thorn lavished whip. New York, a city of love and degradation for Sammy, caused him to spiral upwards into social graces and inner acceptance and then tumble him back down into where he was first conceived, in the womb of his mother: regressing back to being infantile, unsure, and pervasively unsteady. Sammy’s logic, though skeptic and skewered from the abuse, allows him to see right through the false memoranda of New York and by effect, seep his soul into the heart of his beloved city and grasp it’s beating heart by the horns and make it utterly and completely,

The movie, Girl, Interrupted, displays Susanna Kaysen’s eighteen-month stay at a mental institute in the 1960s. This film was an adaptation of a book based on a true story of the main character and author Susanna Kaysen. Susanna was checked into Claymore, a psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts, after chasing a bottle of aspirin with a bottle of vodka. At first, Susanna denies this blatant attempt at suicide and constantly struggles with uncertainty of her thoughts and emotions. Although Girl, Interrupted exhibits several mental disorders one of the most prevalent disorder of this film is Susanna’s Borderline Personality Disorder. This film depicts majority of the signs and symptoms of a person with Borderline Personality. As stated in the textbook, “the lives of persons with borderline personality are marked by instability. Their relationships are unstable, their behavior is unstable, their emotions are unstable, and even their images of themselves are unstable” (Larsen and Buss 593). Susanna’s romantic relationships are extremely unstable and she frequently engages in casual sex. She jumps from one guy to another in a matter of few weeks. One scene that establishes this the most is when her boyfriend at the time comes to visit her at Claymore and expresses his true feelings for her and she instantly withdraws. He asked her to go to Canada with him and she turns him down immediately. She also kisses Lisa who she befriends at the mental institute, displaying a switch of

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee are extremely influential novels that can teach great lessons to teenagers and adults. One of The Outsider’s main themes is; everybody has different problems, but everybody is still the same. This theme is shown throughout the entire novel and explains it well. There are two different groups in the setting of The Outsiders, the socs and the greasers. The socs are the rich kids that drive nice cars and get into a lot of trouble without being punished by their parents, and the greasers are the less wealthy kids that fight with the socs and wear greased back hair and leather jackets. Both of these groups are completely different people, but they still live in the same city and see the same environment. As Ponyboy states “Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset” (Hinton).

The movie Avatar directed by James Cameron and district 9 directed by Neill Blomkamp were two films that were related to the same theme of human vs aliens and the portrait of the bad side of humanity. In addition to that the character depiction of the aliens and humans lead to a stronger message to the viewer to be sympathetic towards the alien race and makes the viewer think about the similar activities that are occurring in our world with other humans.
