Mindy And Lenore Script

The two admire her beauty as she combs her hair and reads a book, before retreating to the front yard. Scott, fed up with being ugly, tells the narrator “they need to talk about this” - they need to figure out a way to be attractive. I feel like many people can relate to how Scott and the narrator feel, not just myself. No matter how attractive you are, you’ll always have something about yourself you despise. Something that you think is just plain ugly.

Just by getting a glimpse of her appearance, Tally becomes upset at it, and is quick to do whatever she can to get rid of it. She acts as if she does not care about Shay’s feelings; all that is important is her being pretty. This proves how serious and strong minded Tally is about becoming a ‘Pretty’; nothing matters except being pretty. Taunted by the ‘Specials’ by her appearance, contributes to Tally’s determination of being a pretty; if she is not pretty, then she will be teased. Therefore, Tally is determined to be a pretty; her hatred of her appearance and constant reminder by society causes her to do whatever it takes to be

The first scene we did was on the introduction of David, the protagonist and his interaction with Sophie, who was a deviation with six toes. Throughout this scene, it mainly consists of David playing with Sophie and enjoying their time together as companions while it is only at the end where it was about the exposure of Sophie’s foot. By doing so, we portray that Sophie acted exactly like how you would expect a normal human girl and how David thought so too. The incident of Sophie’s foot being exposed yet David did not find anything strange about it at first and treated her like a normal human allowed the audience to empathise with Sophie as it is also clear to the audience that Sophie was very human and there should be nothing wrong with her. After we have given the audience a portrayal of a normal human being who seems to have a minor biological flaw, we turned the thought that she should be treated the same way as a normal human being on its head by having the scene of the Preacher say “and each foot five toes,” and “It is a blasphemy against the true Image of God, and hateful in the sight of God.”

“Without appearing to, Mrs. Turpin always noticed peoples feet. The well-dressed lady had on red and grey suede shoes to match her dress. Mrs. Turpin had on her good black-patent leather pumps. The ugly girl had on Girl Scout shoes and heavy socks. The old woman had on tennis shoes and white-trashy mother had on what appeared to be bedroom slippers, black straw with gold braid threaded through them exactly what you would have expected her to have on.” (O’Connor

“They're your people, right?” he asks, putting his cigarette out on the bottom of his boot.

“I AM THE GREAT RASTALIN REMUS!” He shouts as a puff of multicolored smoke surrounds him.

I smoke all the time. Osgood: I don’t

"It’s not good that I smoked. It wasn’t good for me so I stopped it. But what you must understand is that for you, all of you, it’s much, much worse to smoke than it ever was for me. You’ve been told about it.

Sammie is working as a cashier at a food store, when he notices three girls enter wearing only bathing suits. He observes them from head to toe, and in doing so loses his concentration. His mind takes off with curious thoughts of all three and it becomes evident he is attracted to one of them. As a typical teen male would do, he thinks of the middle aged woman that caught his error, as a witch and the patrons as sheep and the female mind activity as nothing more than a bee buzzing in a jar.

Her enthusiasm lasted till lunchtime, fading only when no one came forward to talk to her, to tell her how beautiful she looked that day, to apologize, perhaps, for the late-night phone call. She is so desperate to know who it was. For her this is one in a billion of amazing things that happen to her. Today would be no different at all, she realized. It was just as if nothing had ever happened. What if it never happens again? Thinking to herself she thought that maybe she was sick and this was all just a dream. No one could ever like someone like her, I mean she wasn’t the prettiest and she didn’t have the “perfect

From a young age, Mrs. Breedlove has struggled to feel beautiful. From a nail through her foot to the judgment she received when she moved north, she has always been put down for who she is. As a young child she impaled her foot with a nail and it “left her with a crooked, archless foot that flopped when she walked” (Morrison 110). The first thing that began the curse of Mrs. Breedlove not being beautiful (besides her skin color), was as a child and got a nail right through her foot. The lack of medical knowledge and care left her with a limp that she was going to have for the rest of her life. From this one injury, she blames the rest of her misfortune in life off of it. She thinks her family does not like her because of it, and blames her foot for her

“Lori and Pauline are excused from vacuuming on account of their backs… Helen has a bum foot, which Ted, in explaining her absence one day, blames on the cheap, ill-fitting shoes that, he implies, she perversely chooses to wear”(89).

In the beginning, Connie’s character is one of innocence, self-absorption, and shallowness. Oates describes Connie as a fifteen-year-old girl who has “a quick, nervous giggling habit of craning her neck to glance into mirrors and check other people’s faces to make sure her own was all right” (Oates 157). In this description, Connie’s dynamic character acts shallow and is self-absorbed. She places her values on her physical appearance and in her friends’ acceptance. Connie “knew she was pretty and that was everything” to her (158). Connie bases her self -worth on her looks and in the values of her friends’ perception of her.

Alessia Cara is trying to communicate with readers a common conflict that young girls often experience. Many girls feel the pressure to fit society’s standards of beauty, often going to extreme measures. The poem continues with, “She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits/ She craves attention,
