Looking for Alibrandi is a novel that originally published by the author Melina Marchetta in 1992 with young adult and bildungsroman genre. It's a story of a girl who is in her final year at school, brought up with an Italian background. Suddenly discovering the truth of her life, the truth of her family's secrets upbringing, falling in love and having to deal with her mother and Nonna's daunting and her father who she never saw until now all coming over to her life is just unbelievable. Looking for Alibrandi highlights the cultural differences in Australia, especially with family life. Having a primary social group family, it affects strongly to our lives, although we never care about anything that relates to social groups. To have such an expanded family is a wonderful thing; however, Josie struggles to recognise herself as a part of her clan. I like the relationship between Christina and Josie; it's the true love between a mother and her daughter no matter what. It's really hard to see that Nonna can't get along with Josie and Josie can't get along with Nonna. Obviously, it's embarrassing and such a pain to live with. Can you even imagine after having a long day and not even fully entered the house but starting an argument standing right in front of the door for just a simple thing?. Like having a messy hair after coming home from school? Who would not have a messy hair after the day ends? Having to deal with all sorts of obliterations at this age is very common with…

Meryl Streep’s The Devil Wears Prada, is a very criticized film regarding feminism, fashion, and health. Which are the most important aspects in being editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine (as depicted by the film). The Devil Wears Prada painfully breaks down what it is like to be centerfold and thrusted into the middle of the high-fashion world (as a person with no idea about fashion). Many of these biases are articulated through the book the movie was based off, The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren…

As the movie showed, the chief editor of a high fashion magazine Miranda Priestly was a woman of high competence. Her magazine was regarded as a fashion guide and she was known as a fashion authority. However, many people have an ill feeling on her because her life was an opposite to her career. She divorced many times because no men could tolerate her power. At first I thought she was an emotionless working machine. However, the dragon lady showed her soft part at the end of the movie: Miranda…

Anne Hathaway’s character, Andy went to extreme lengths to be on the good side of famous fashion designer, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). When Andy began the job you could see she was genuinely excited for the challenge. She seemed like she had the needed characteristics (trainee readiness) to learn the working of her job. Her first days of training were intimidating to her. She was forced to learn on the fly and was to meet high demands within the tight schedule of Manhattan. A cognitive…
