Throughout this novel, we see Bridget Jones having a breakdown as she writes her way through her struggles. In the novel, the quote "her nerves are shot to ribbons" is used to describe Bridget. This is a perfect quote to overlook the whole book honestly, because the meaning behind it is that she is either disappointed or depressed. In most of her situations she never knows what to do. Her mom also explains that she cannot stand her own problems and tries to solve them through others. This metaphor is a huge part of this book because it is clear that Bridget has many issues she needs to work out.

“Girl” is a short story in which the author, Jamaica Kincaid, unofficially presents the stereotypes of girls in the mid 1900s.

John Hughes's The Breakfast Club is one of film history’s most iconic and renowned movies and is a cornerstone of 1980’s pop-culture. The Breakfast Club showcases five unique high school students who all unfortunately find themselves imprisoned in an all-day Saturday detention. The students go as following: Claire (a pretty girl), Brian (the nerd), John (the bad boy), Andrew (an athlete), and Allison (the strange, goth girl). These students come from very different backgrounds and social settings which proves to spark many conflicts between them as well as with their supervisor Mr. Vernon. But through this conflict they find similarities between themselves, and after spending nine hours locked up together, they find resolution within themselves and with their new friends. Psychology can explain why this happened as well as what caused other events to occur. This paper will examine four different psychological phenomena: stereotypes, conformity/normative social influence, ingroup versus outgroup/superordinate goals, and the various causes of attraction.

It was a warm sunny day in April and I was getting ready to go out, however I remembered that I previously turned the tv off I saw the weather report. It claimed that it was going to rain at 3:00 pm so I brought a raincoat. When my family and I left at 2:00 pm it started to drizzle and when we were 10 minutes from where we were supposed to be it started to rain heavily and there was much more traffic. We were 20 minutes late and we had to run into the restaurant because the rain got even worse but I was the only person who had a raincoat on. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray bradbury the theme is that knowledge can prepare us for the future, just like in the story. In Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag, who didn't know his job as a fireman was dishonorable until Clarisse McClellan his new neighbor was talking about it which makes him curious, but nonetheless he brought it up to one of his coworkers Captain Beatty, she absolutely utterly disagreed with what he had to contribute. As a result, Montag started collecting books from where he put out fires because he was curious and started to tell his wife about it as well because he wanted to know more about his job and how it doesn’t benefit the people that he helps. Captain Beatty found out about what he was doing and got enraged, so she wanted to burn his house down and get him arrested. He then killed Beatty and ran to his friend Faber for help about what Guy Montag had just finished.

Everybody cares for something in their life. Whether it be their family, pets, or friends, it is sometimes hard to show all your love to everybody at the same time. However, what if one of these loved ones is fake? In Fahrenheit 451, Mildred Montag is torn apart between trying to love Montag and trying to love her superficial TV family. She tries to care for both things, but this eventually breaks her and she betrays Montag for her TV family. In the novel, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Mildred’s split personality illustrates the idea that when society believes that something is right or wrong, people tend to conform to societal pressures because it is easier to do, it makes people think they are happier, and because society has made being an outcast something to fear.

To conclude, Jake “presents yet another side of Brett, the vulnerable woman capable of dependence and contrition, having risen from the simple fulfillment of sensual desire, needing support from Jake” (Nagel 99).
