Hi, I’m Phoebe Ryan and today I am going to be giving a talk that addresses the issues of misinterpreted youth within media and literature using the novel Jasper Jones as word If teenagers’ lives, including all major decisions and events, are constantly portrayed within the media, how can they be judged for the decisions they’re making? Teenagers can easily be influenced to make naive and impulsive decisions whilst under the impression that they are making the correct choices because of being constantly pressured by their peers and the surrounding stereotypes shown within the media. This is reflected in contemporary Australian society where the Australian youth are being represented as naive, impulsive and self-righteous by both literature

Kino and Juana’s relationship finally becomes equal after the difficulties they face ensuing the pearl.

Dave Barry identifies the stereotype between a man and woman in their household duties. Men don’t help out in the kitchen and even the simplest task is a struggle for them. When they try to help out in the kitchen, a small job, such as cutting a turnip, is complicated so they end up not being able to help. He mentions how on Thanksgiving, the woman is in the kitchen preparing the meal and she asks the men to watch the children for her. The men cannot even do this job because they are interested in watching the Detroit Lions. “…this voice from behind the kitchen steam would call, very patiently, ‘Gene, please watch the children.’” Barry shows that women are very patient and passive when men aren’t doing what they told them to do. They also

He managed to overcome several failures and challenges with his personal life to become one of the most prolific American pop/soft rock musicians of all time. Billy Joel started his musical career when he began to receive piano lessons at a fairly young age. Joel wasn’t too excited about learning piano originally, but he grew to appreciate his lessons. He originally did not consider a career in music, however that all changed when he saw The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show.

In the movie, Bender’s personality would be described by most as disrespectful, aggressive, and freeloading. Bender is treated badly at home. He is abused physically and verbally on the regular and he has no choice but to fend for himself. Everyone attributed Benders actions to his personal disposition but did not take into consideration his situation at home. John Bender in my opinion is the perfect example of an adolescent with a very aggressive attitude.

He refers to mostly sex, which is honestly what I should have expected. But even this being the content of his album, it still worked very nice, aside from a few lines that made me chuckle. "I just eat pussy other people eat food." That lyric had me laughing. Mac Miller isn't known for his wonderful singing, but the way he uses his voice in these songs just ends up working with the beats. He actually doesn't have that bad of a singing voice as I look back at some of the songs he did on previous albums ("Objects in the Mirror", "ROS", "Jump"). It seems that on every album he gets a little more personal, like on the first song "Congratulations," where he seems to be talking about his ex-girlfriend and how he went through the beginnings of trying to become a rapper. I tried to tweet at him to figure out what the first song was about, of course he didn't respond, was worth a shot

Billy Joel is one of the best selling solo artists of all time in the United States. Amongst his most popular songs are “Piano Man,” “We Didn’t Start the Fire” and “She’s Always a Woman,” all with good reason.

This verse compare his musical career to sex for the first time. A virgin will push to the limit to "pop her cherry" and get the physical pleasure that she so despartley wants, especially when a girl is losing her virginity, she tries to make it the best experience of her life because it will impact her for the rest of her life. He is also portraying how he is "virgin" to the kind of money a famous singer will make, so hopefully he can handle it. this is his only chance and he hopes that he will be on top and stay there.
