Planning an essay

How does contemporary representation compare to different time periods?


brainstorming...



  • stereotyping young people as rebellious and try to go against what higher authority think is right. 
  • At that point in their lives they are trying to find out who they are as individuals and they don't like it when people tell them who to be or how to behave? < genetics
  • Representation from an older time period (St. Trinians) less aggressive to elder people that are trying to help them but will break rules to people who are clearly in the wrong e.g. the arabs. when compared to a more contemporary example (my summer of love) the girls smash the window of their fathers car and someone whom hasn't done anything wrong.
  • St. Trinians the elder teens wear more seductive clothing which contrasts with their childish, rebellious behavior. Same as in my summer of love, the girl wears a small red dress which connotes passion and romance, this also contrasts with their childish behavior when smashing the window.
  • An Education - The perfume bottle has a big significance to the scene because it sparks the argument. The tennis ball kind of editing with the shot-reverse-shot when arguing shows the teenage girls rebellion and confidence to stand up to someone with such higher authority than herself (teacher).
  • The cigarettes in Summer are quite iconic
