To finish up my thoughts about Avalon High I am going to go on a small rant and thought I would make yet another post that shares my feelings on how bad this story was, which I'm sure will all will probably do. I think what bothered me the most about Elle's character was the stereotypes she depicted in the story. The fact that people who have tattoos and piercings make them a drug addict just bogglers my mind. There are so many people in this world today, mainly our age, that have tattoos and piercing and have never touched drugs in their lifetimes. Yes there are some people who do drugs and they have tattoos and piercings, but that does not mean it is everyone doing that. I also have a problem that stories and movies are always trying to capture the attention of all the helpless romantics out there. I am a hopeless romantic myself, but I know that what's depicted in movies and books WILL NEVER HAPPEN in real life. Of course we all know that Will and Elle end up together.
We probably could of guessed that from the beginning of the story, but the fact that Marco tried to mess so many things up between Will and Elle and they still end up together is just not realistic because now a days people get involved in relationships and it screws everything up between those two people. I Just felt like both of these issues in the story were not realistic to life as we know it.
END RANT !!
I don't know about that last part. If every couple broke up because of another person getting involved, there would hardly be any couples at all. Strong couples move on, and I think that was part of Cabot's intentions to show this. I see Marco as a foil of Will. In seeing how bad he is, we appreciate how great Will is.
ReplyDeleteI think it is media's vision to display tattoos and piercings as badass type of people that obviously do that stuff (wrong). Yet, it has been embedded in our heads to feel that drugs and body art go hand in hand.
