American Teen Brainstorm

I am interested in writing my paper about the social construction of high school and how accurately American Teen depicted the real high school experience. I like the four characters that were picked for the film. It is typical to how most people veiw high school. However, I do think that this film was significantly different from day-to-day high school through my perspective. Warsaw is very close to my home town so I would have expected to find more connections with this film. That is what I am interested in analyzing and discussing.

Although that I do not believe that it was the same as myactual high school experience, I do believe that there is the same underlying message. At the end of the day, our last year in high school really changes our lives. We can all decide what to do and who to be. Its a fresh start and the begining of the rest of our lives. I would like to incorporate this key message into my paper as well.

Thesis: Although I believe that the four roles, jock, princess, rebel, and nerd, are classic sterotypes in which everyone can connect with on some level, I believe that the high school experience, as portrayed in American Teen, is innaccurate in today’s society expect for the main message of starting the rest of your life.

To Whom It May Concern,

Upon arriving back to my apartment after three weeks of vacation, I was appalled to find that the parking lot was still covered with layers of snow and ice. As a tenant, I am obligated to tell you when I leave for periods of time and when I plan to return. Because you had this information, I was even more disappointed with the lack of maintenance done. Not only was it annoying and frustrating, but it was also very dangerous. We were all moving in large bags of clothing and other personal items and sliding all around. I even had a roommate that fell, pulled a muscle, and spilled her clothing in the dirty ice. I realize that it was probably a break for you as well, but I feel we pay a good about and it should have been done. In the future, I would appreciate if it was a service you did in a timelier frame. Thank you very much for your time.
