90210

“9021NO” In the 2008-2013 TV series 90210, character Erin Silver struggled with bipolar disorder.

When not on her medication, Silver struggles with maintaining her relationships and making logical choices. In most cases, these two struggles go hand in hand, where her making poor decisions leads her to temporarily ruining her friendships with other characters.

Among these were Friday Night Lights, running from 2006-2011, almost identical to Gossip Girl’s runtime; 90210, airing from 2008-2013, again very similar run-time; and The OC with the different run-time of 2003-2007, but the target audience was and still is very similar. To begin, most of these shows implemented one or multiple factors from Gossip Girl. I address the runtime for context, though it is not different now currently accessing the show on Netflix, because all of these compared shows…

I found a job, an apartment and a car the same day I arrived. The car being a light blue Toyota Tercel that I couldn’t drive because I didn’t know how to drive a stick, the waitressing job was at the Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills where I had to sell a BIC writing pen to the hiring manager to get the job. I guess I did well because I got the job. Lastly, I moved my suitcase and cat into a studio apartment on South Hamilton Drive in Beverly Hills, CA, 90210. That zip code was significant as…

The girls in Fiji had been raised…

never really impacted my life also. The presidents I remember growing up were Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George Bush Senior, and George Bush Jr. I remember Bill Clinton of not being a good role model and always lying on TV. When I was younger I sort of feared crime because of things that had to happen to me such as getting my car broke into, and my purse was stolen also. I always remembered watching the Green Bay Packers with my family from a little baby even up till now. Some Music groups I…

portray the image of females having to be “slim”. Examples of these women are Cheryl Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Rushanara Ali who have become successful due to their own handwork and merit and not due to their size. Also women who are a plus size are now seen as healthy and beautiful, like Oprah thus promote physical health and can impact female in a positive way as they are not always subjected to images of stick thin women.

such as diet pills, shakes and many more. Another thing people run to so they can lose weight is plastic surgery.

When buying the “Southwest Patty Melt” we think of Kate Upton. Due to the excess of objectification, men tend to think they can achieve both the ideal woman.
