analyzing mean girls, and things we carry
In the paper "The Things We Carry" by Danielle Williams, I thought it was very well organized. All of the ideas from paragraph to paragraph seemed to kind of transition nicely. It left me with a clear understanding of the series of events that happened while she was in this english class, and the outcome that she got out of it. I did, however, feel that it was really boring. I felt like she talked about the same instance (the effect of her mother's conversation with Ms. Thomas) for like at least two pages. I could understand if this event was hugely significant, but it wasn't. I never fond oukt what was said in that conversation and how it directly impacted Danielle's success in the class. It just an awkward way to show the event that made her start doi8ng well in the class.
In the paper, "Mean Girls: A Real Case Study", I thought it was so cute! It wasnt an extremely well writen paper, but the content of it was so entertaining. I could so see something like that happen at my high school. People dont understand how cruel teenager girls can be. The only thing that I can say I wish I found out more about, would be the series of events that happened after she found it was her "friends" that T.P.ed her house. I mean she spent two paragraphs wrapping up the story. She said that she made new friends, but she never fully trusted them. I would have liked to have seen her actually get over the occurance and meet new people and interact with them with no limitations. It seemed to me that she didn't develop as a person, because she had not yet gotten over and forgotten about what happened to her.
