In the article, it says on paragraph 8 sentence 1, “Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that popular kids get targeted.”. The

Kids’ meals are more traditional and well known than other meals. Let’s say that you’re going to a seafood restaurant for dinner with a group of friends. But you have one problem: you absolutely hate all things seafood, but you don’t want to be a party pooper. To solve this problem, you could order off the kids’ menu with sometime you know you will actually enjoy. Some people may believe that ordering off that menu may be embarrassing for some people, but Julia Bainbridge, an online author, says that “kids’ food is usually simply prepared and straight forward” (Paley).

The availability of fast food has become an easy access to the youth of America, due to an increase in fast food marketing and restaurants being built on nearly every street corner. In David Barboza’s article, If You Pitch It, They Will Eat, he explains that

Friendships is a poem by Erica Fryberg that can relate to almost anybody who has experienced real and fake friendships, as it is about the speaker’s perspective on friendships, and the difference between having real and fake friends, forced friendships and real friendships. Through a comparison of friendships and furniture, the poet uses a humorous tone to describe friendships, making the speaker relatable. I particularly enjoyed this, as on a personal level I was able to relate to this, as a student at a school where teachers attempted to force unnatural relationships multiple times. Overall, this poem was an engaging poem, which, through language and poetic devices, clearly described the difference between real and fake friendships.

Arnetta seems like the leader of the pack; however, she is the weakest because she has to be mean and call troop 909 names just to make herself feel better. For example on (page 281 paragraph 4)they referred to the troop 909 girls “wet chihuahuas.” She does it to make herself seem cooler but really that makes her look bad. On (page 283 paragraph 2) she states,”she’d heard one of the girls from troop 909 call Daphne a n-i-g-g-e-r.” When Arnetta tries to point out witch girl called Daphne a “n-i-g-g-e-r” cited on page 297 paragraphs 2 and 3) she pointed to a girl who could talk but never did, then she changed it to someone else(cited in page 297 paragraph 4) the girl steps forward to show her uniform and says,”See, I’m a Brownie.” the narrator

At a first you may think that Allie Vaughn had been bred for a future in the government (although you wouldn’t know if you looked at her on account of her startling pink hair), just ask her a few questions about herself and you would be hard pressed not to find the perfect mold of a future politician.

We ring in the start of a new year with parties and new hopes, but in January of 1929, Ella Thiesson and Stanley Ciezmierowski started the new year with the birth of their youngest son, William Henry Moroski on the 2nd in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

“Mean girls, jocks, band nerds, geeks, and freaks” are all terms used to stereotype and group teens in the 2004 movie hit, Mean Girls. This film created controversies in the content that it delivered. The credibility of adolescents is questioned greatly in this film. Mean Girls taught us that popularity isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, in fact, they taught us that it’s actually meaningless. Through extreme character development, this movie shows the viewer that at the end of the day, all of the teens are the same. They all struggle to fit in, and that’s really the moral of this hilarious, but raunchy story. Mean Girls captures the struggle that every teen seems to have at some point of where they belong and how they relate to everyone around them. The film takes those stereotypes and melds them into what all high schools should aspire to be: a community.

Do filmmakers depict teenage girls as the only bullies? A film, Mean Girls, is one of the many movies that have misconstrued teenage bullying. Mean Girls is about three white-upper class, popular girls that bully a lower class “nice” girl. Other films, such as A Cinderella Story, and Bring it On have added fuel to the fire. Filmmakers portray bullying by stereotyping, and giving a false representation of bullying.

In this article Wiedeman interviews and discuses the popular Instagram girl Lilli Hymowitz. Lilli is a 16 year old that has over 8,000 followers on the social media site Instagram (now closer to 22,000). She first became famous for being a young rich equestrian teenager that lives in New York and basically does whatever she wants. Hymowitz lives a very luxurious life filled with many houses and big parties, the kind of life all teenagers want, no curfew, no rules, and what seems to be an unlimited bank account. Wiedeman finds out that she is homeschooled for horse back riding but is yet the most popular girl in her old high school. This just shows that with technological advances and social media a new generation of “popular” has risen without

Clearly, middle school students are the article’s intended audience. Since, the article uses examples that a middle school student can relate to. For example, the article discusses about middle schoolers making rude comments and insensitive jokes always being part of the young adult world. In addition, through the unnecessary comments, such as “Ummmm… ew?”, the tone is impolite. Those who use social media such as Facebook feel a sense

The true genius of The Story of an African Farm is not in the unusual way it is constructed, although critic Patricia Murphy praises author Olive Schreiner's non-linear, feminine time in the novel and the ways cyclical time influences the story's development. Neither does the novel's true achievement lie in its artistic allegories, though Schreiner is commended for her mythological uses of South Africa's landscape (Marquard, 294), and for the meaningful "Hunter Tale" told by Waldo's stranger in the novel's center ("Politics of Power," 585). The most remarkable, complex aspect of the work has to be the way that it attempts to define gender norms for women, enlarging their potential role in society to equal the scope of a man's station. This facet of Schreiner's best-known book is the reason that she has become famous as, "a feminist who hated being a woman" (Showalter, 195), and the reason that African Farm has endured as an early feminist manifesto.
