Chloe never cared about school. All she really cared about was being popular, including making other people feel bad, so she can feel better about herself. Macie wore everything that Chloe hated. Macie was the girl who wore glasses, socks and sandals, collared T-Shirts, and khaki pants all the time. Chloe never wore anything else except for heels, dresses, and jewelry. They were both brunette, blue eyes, both sixteen years old, and their faces looked exactly alike because they were identical twins. Also, Chloe’s favorite hobby was going the mall, but she always got stopped by cameras trying to get a picture of her to put her on their magazine, since she was a famous actress who did comedies. The mall was also Macie’s favorite place, since there were not very many people there, so it was a quiet place for her to study and read.

Through the ups and downs of classic high school tropes (driving, boys, etc), Cher learns how to see past material objects and open her heart to love. Alive Leppert (2014) states, “Marking a shift away from the mainstreaming of [80s] grunge fashion and music, Clueless’s engagement with teen magazines and teen fashion paved the way for the ascendancy of a late-1990s teen culture marked by the "happy," "whatever" attitude that begat a return to preppy, ultra-girly fashion and squeaky clean pop stars, all despite Cher's (Alicia Silverstone) own eventual revelation that she, herself, is clueless.” (p. 132)…

The text allows for this to happen both through what Sheppard articulates and with the addition of free indirect discourse (free indirect discourse refers to a transition from background information in a story into the thoughts of a character). Sheppard…
