House 8-1 Hall Of Fame: Emma Watson

When you sit down to write an I Believe Essay, the first questions you have to ask yourself is, “What do I believe in?” It’s one of the hardest questions to answer. I for instance believe in patience, the power of seeing the big picture, and people’s power to help you become a better person. After you have figured out what you believe in, you then have to pick one of these beliefs to write about. My problem is that I couldn’t write about just one of these things. I wanted to write about all of them. I then realized what all of these beliefs have in common, a single person. I met a truly amazing person about two months ago. She’s taught me so much about life and myself. Once I saw that it became clear that the only thing I could ever truly write my essay on was her. Therefore I believe in the amazing girl who is Hannah Bourque.

Upon a comparative study of the texts Emma and Clueless, we can see that the quality of relationships in society bears strong similarities, despite their different contexts. Emma is set in 16th century England, where the rigid social structure dominated social interaction. This is contrasted to Clueless, which is set in 1990’s Beverly Hills where popularity was integral to determining a relationship. Being integral to modern society, relationships were used as medium to secure wealth and to find purpose in one’s life, in different contexts. Additionally, the restrictive nature of relationships has changed over the course of time despite still existing in a different sense. The strict class based society of the Regency Era limited relationships in Emma while social groups at school dictated the dynamics of relationships in Clueless. However, the popularity of marriages has decreased, with many teens opting to settle with dating before any further commitment. By discussing the different purposes and changes in relationships over the two texts we can develop clear ideas about the quality of relationships in society.

Clueless is about a popular 16 year old named Cher Horowitz. Cher is a rich, popular beverly hills student. Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's social list. Cher and her best friend Dionne Davenport, two of the most popular sophomores in school, play matchmakers for two teachers. Encouraged by her success, she decides to give klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than Cher is, Cher realizes that her ex-stepbrother, Josh, was right about how misguided she was and falls for him. Amy Heckerling apted the film of off a book named Emma by Jane Austen. The film was produced on July 19, 1995 and grossed $56 million in the United States. I chose this film because it is a very funny movie that shows the inside of the life of a popular rich teen in beverly hills. Clueless shows the world inside of a popular high school girl. Cher and Dionne both have a love of fashion and beauty but also have different interests. These characters may seem very shallow but actually have a much deeper way of thinking. Clueless is certainly a celebration of unapologetic femininity.

Eighth grade is when I discovered Ellen Hopkins’ books, I started reading her novel “Flirtin’ with the monster”, which is the whole reason why she wrote the “Crank” trilogy. Finding out about Ellen Hopkins’ books has really inspired me to write to a greater extent. My freshman year my grandmother passed away and to help me deal with my depression I wrote a story. Ellen Hopkins quoted, “I didn’t start it looking for publication, let alone expecting the book to become the phenom it has”. This was found on her website; EllenHopkins.com; this website is used to find all of her books, also a question and answer section for her fans to ask questions about her books and about how she and her family is doing. There are also other tabs on her website

From “The Jazz Singer”, released in 1927, to “The Social Network, released in 2010, Hollywood loves to keep up it’s themes of whitewashing! For anyone who doesn 't know, whitewashing occurs when a character should be one race, but is portrayed by another. Throughout film and television there are numerous examples of this being portrayed. However, not many people understand why whitewashing is bad or even notice that it 's happening. Whitewashing takes opportunities away from people of color, alters people 's perception of history, and ultimately promotes racism.

Over the year or so that I have been interviewing actors, I have discovered so many remarkably gifted and exceptionally grounded young people in the industry. Chatting with them and featuring them on my site is always something special, and Lizzie White is no exception. While I am new to her talent, she and I recently discussed how she got started in her acting career, what her current and notable works are, and even how she manages her free time and outside interests.

It is unusual for me to watch a biopic movie due to my misconception of its unattractive features such as boring, monotonous, predictable. However, it seems that everything has changed dramatically since I watched "Miss Potter" - a movie based on true story of a well-known English children's book author- Beatrix Potter.

True Blood is a television series from HBO following the life of Sookie Stackhouse, a young woman with mind reading ablilities, as she lives her life the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana and tries to survive in a world where vampires exist. I will focus more on the first season of Sookie’s character development as the series spans over the course of seven seasons. Through the majority of the series, Sookie is faced with many difficult decisions revolving around her family, friends, and the certain townsfolk and creatures who may rely on her “skill” for help. Sookie starts off in the series a young waitress just making ends meet as well as try to maintain a social life among her peers, that is, until she met a man by the name of Bill Compton.

Feminism is often seen as a negative word towards women, but it actually represents the gender inequality for both men and women.

Before Watson was a UN Women’s Ambassador, she was known as a strong activist for women’s rights.

Emma Watson, best known as a leading actress in the Harry Potter series, gave a speech titled “Gender equality is your issue too” during a HeForShe campaign at the United Nations headquarters in New York City during on September 20, 2014, in attempt to raise awareness about gender inequality.
