She's the man directed by Andy Fickman set at Illyria college in 2006 exhibits young Viola Hastings facing many difficult challenges to reach her goal of becoming a great soccer player. She's the man has made it quite evident as to why stereotyping is not always accurate is by making Duke a very sensitive person when people expect men to be tough, callous people, another way this movie showed stereotyping is inaccurate is by not only showing that girls like sport but by showing girls can be as good as at sport. The last way she's the man has showed stereotyping is inaccurate is by making the protagonist, viola a very un-lady-like person even though people believe every girl should behave like a debutant.

To demonstrate, as she understood that she is only talented, she turned to her subliminal alternative plan and married the wealthy Laurie. Nevertheless, she sat her relationship with art as patroness while devoting her own art to the service of the family. According to Holly Blackford (2011), Amy’s journey abroad eliminated Amy’s artistic demon that possessed her for a long time and was depriving her from being a little woman. Furthermore, she also argues that Amy’s voyage has smoothened her nature and made her more agreeable and this is particularly evident in her remark that “Whenever I see girls struggling along, as we used to do, I want to put out my hand and help them”(Alcott, 2008). Indeed, by contrasting Amy’s earlier selfishness with her selflessness at the end of the novel, it is obvious that this journey was instrumental in Amy’s conversion into a little woman. Nonetheless, it has also indulged and emphasized her conventionality as evident in her attack on Laurie in Lazy Laurence. However, in spite of the different goals and outcomes, it is possible to see a kind of parallel between Amy’s and Jim’s Journey

Why can Stereotyping cause divisions in friend groups? As long as you can probably remember you have always made judgments about people, even if you didn't realize that you did it. In the Outsiders by S.E Hinton,the greasers face stereotype because,the town had labeled the poor side unfit for greatness or just trouble and the socs the best and the heros of the town. The socs are the rich kids and have all the money where as the greasers are the poor kids who are just trouble. Most of the greasers are only from bad families and don't have much say where they live but the socs had just stereotyped them all to be troublemakers.

Can I be a girl without wearing the stereotypical girly clothes? Hailee Steinfeld’s song “Most Girls” talks about the two types of girls that exist. The first one is the “girly girl” that wear cute items: skirts,dresses, heels, tight clothing, and piercings on the body. She is very pretty since she wears make-up, while the second on is a tomboy that dresses casual clothes, doesn’t care what they wear, and is most likely bisexual or lesbian. She defines these types by their wardrobe, actions, and how they want to succeed in life through their own unique way. Society tells them that is how a girl should portray herself. No matter how you act or dress, at the end of the day you are a girl and no one can tell you otherwise. The artist is a female and her style can be girly and tomboyish because that’s who she is. When I first heard this song I felt like I was finally understood that I am a girl without those stereotypes.This song helped me realize I should be comfortable with myself and knowing not all girls, like myself, feel that they have to live up to the stereotypical expectation of being a “girly girl” and shouldn’t define by any stereotypes, free to live by her own expectation, not society.

Everyday, someone or a group of people is stereotyped because of their differences, appearance, personality, salary, and much more. The theme of stereotyping is shown unceasingly throughout the book, the Outsiders, by describing the Greasers’ and Socs’ different appearances and reputations. By depicting this topic, the message “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is represented and learned. This is an important lesson in life because it lets people know that we are all equals in life problems, like the Outsiders. So, stereotypes are used continuously throughout the Outsiders to describe certain life lessons like, “Don't judge a book by its cover” and in this case stereotypes.

Jane Elliot really put the manner in which social construction is formed in a simple yet understandable way, by creating such a hierarchy based on eye color the experiment was simple enough for children yet had so much of an impact that adults could take it seriously as well. All of the subjects got to take into consideration and use critical thinking to realize just how absurd judging someone for their skin color really was. Elliot would constantly point out the simple mistakes one eye color group would make, reinforcing that one eye color group was superior to the other. Thus creating a sort of ethnocentric classroom, such as “Oh Jimmies dad kicked him! Guess what eye color he had? Brown! A blue eyed father would never do that!” the children

The likely reference that Ms. Hinton intended is the fact that Greasers are social outcasts, usually ending up being rejected by society. Greasers receive blame for most problems, as a result, the people of a higher class are constantly attacking them. Some Greasers, such as Dally, fit the stereotypes that others have for them, but others, such as Johnny and Ponyboy, are nothing like the social stereotypes, as they are quite are quite equanimous. Hinton alluded that Greasers are outsiders whilst trying to avoid stating it outright, as this provokes more thought or interest in the novel.

Nick is hopeful that a new future will provide with the dream life and relationships. By leaving his old life behind him it gives him the opportunity to become a bigger and smarter character. He is already educated, but now he will know more than the future characters that he meets. As Nick settles into his life he meets Gatsby who lures him into darker relationships such as Meyer Wolfshine and a romantic relationship with Jordan Baker: “Dishonesty in a women is a thing you never blame deeply, I was casually sorry, and then I forgot” (58). Nick starts the novel by stating that he is honest, “reserves judgement”, and is a reliable narrator as these relationships progress he loses his morals which leads Nick into consequences by trusting characters throughout the novel which in the future he loses. Nick follows Gatsby too closely and helps him out to an extent where his relationships also get hurt. Nick also places less emphasis on the values that he started with causing him to jump into situations which are not beneficial as he sees what those around him do to achieve the American Dream. As Nick loses hope in the goodness of humanity, he distances himself from all relationships in the future: “[it was the] foul dust [that] floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short winded elations of men” (2). In Nick’s flashback he forebodes his loss of hope and the

In my opinion, Nick Dunne is a shameless idiot. By chapter 19, the readers are notified about his mistress, Andie Hardy; A young, beautiful woman. I do agree, in the backstory Andie did do a few mistakes, as she did try to seduce and flirt with him. Nick blocked her out at first, but slowly unveiled himself and began using her as a rebound when Amy, his wife; does not give him what he has lust for. Andie falls in love with Nick, and began to worry and miss him more after seeing the news of his missing wife. She comes all the way to Margo’s House, his sister, just to see if he is doing okay.

Throughout the film, another important part of its cinematography is the vibrant colors included in the shots. For numerous night scenes in the film, the shots feature flamboyant red, and fluorescence, which strengthen the dynamics that is going on between Travis and the scene. For example, in a scene that takes place outside a diner, where these cabbies usually hang out, Travis is talking to another experiences cabbie named Wizard about his frustration. The main light source of this particular scene is the red light from the neon signs outside the diner; it envelopes the two figures who are having a conversation about cabbie and life, and sets out an eccentric feeling to the dynamics between the characters. The neon signs and the traffic lights

Later in the book, Nick talks about his feelings and thoughts about Amy (Flynn 302-303). The public may view it as true even though there isn’t any actual evidence of Nick’s feelings about her (Flynn 302-303). These things aren’t easy to physically prove so the public would have to take Nicks word if they decide to believe him and see the situation from his viewpoint. In other words, he’s able to subjectively manipulate the situation to better his circumstances. The possible outcome of this information being reported isn’t necessarily destructive, even though it’s psychologically manipulating material. The presentation of this information would mainly have an effect as to how the public may perceive Nick.

Stereotypes are extremely prominent in modern cinema, the first example that springs to mind is that of the film "American Beauty", directed by Sam Mendes, in 1999. Here is a seriocomic look at suburban America, which utilizes various stereotypes in order to make a broader statement on the symptoms supposedly brought upon us by living boring suburban lives. While the stereotypes work to the filmmakers' advantage in the film's cutting comic stages, once the film devolves into melodrama, the stereotypes become much more apparent, changing the film from a scathing satire to a parable of sorts.

In Gone Girl, the battle for the control of marriage between Nick and Amy leads to the development of the story. From the first-person narrative of Nick, the movie begins by explaining the disappearance of Amy. With the evidence left in the house, including a pool of blood in the kitchen, Nick is slowly implicated in the illusory crime and regarded as the prime suspect. As the investigation carries on, Nick’s narration is shown as unreliable. He failed to disclose his affair with his student, which in fact is the motivation of Amy’s self-disappearing act. The unreliability of Nick’s narration guides the audience to retrace narration. Hence, the narrative point-of-view in the middle of the story shifts between Nick’s and Amy’s voice of the journal
