Good Girl Gone Bad

Crystal the stop sign hand, she ordered Haley to spill the beans… right now. Deb said she could see the need to fess up on her face, and she did, all of it. She’d been lying to us about the makeup, jewelry and random stuff, saying they were gifts or good buys purchased with saved babysitting money. We believed because we wanted it to be true.

Since there were many different ethnicities and cultures in this movie, the lessons were also learned differently. The teachers became the students and the students became the teachers. When living in a neighborhood with neighbors of different cultures and ethnicities, trying to communicate could be very difficult, so everyone have…

Ghandi once said, “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.” No matter where we are in the world or how much good we are surrounded with, there will always be someone or something evil lurking within. We start to distinguish between good and bad at an early age, mostly how we get this information is by watching t.v shows where there's a superhero and a villain.

evil detail of his snake like existence. She was disgusted with his slightest inhalation and sluggish movements. Then her friend, the one whom had her heart broken numerous times by this naive and demonic boy, invited him to come home with the two girls.

death, Tituba!” (Miller 40). This shows how Parris wants Tituba to be accused, so Abigail and Betty won’t be accused, and so Parris won’t look bad because Abigail and Betty are part of his family. Secondly, in the middle of the play, Parris decides to embrace the power that the trials have given to him.

shows how white people have special privileges in everyday life. On page 7 of the play, Johnny says, “I was on my corner. It’s not my usual corner. A couple of punks took it over a while ago. They don’t let me sit there anymore. They have really bad attitudes” (Taylor 7). This quote shows how white people rudely drive Johnny away from the corner and no one stands out to defend for her. It reveals that in the Canadian society, the whites have more…

his parents don't care, which makes him jealous of what Pony has and how much Darry cares about him. This shows in Dally's attitude at the drive in when he starts being rude towards the girls who are innocently sitting there watching the movie. I think he is so used to getting everything he wants including the girls Cherry's refusal comes as a surprise to him. He thinks he can do whatever he wants and get what he wants.
