2. One key ethic of teen drama films is
to cover as much ground as possible
with it's characters. The genre tends
to feature characters of various
backgrounds & lifestyles - exploiting
them all for their stereotypes -often
almost literally throwing them
together in a small , confided space
waiting for the inevitable
catastrophe.

3. It would be almost breaching the
unwritten laws of teen dramas to be
able to pinpoint a particular social
group to which the product may
accurately represent . Similarly , it
would be difficult to pinpoint a
particular social group to which the
product could appeal .

4. One major benefit to having such a
wide array of characters lies in the
way that each character can epitomised
a different social sector.

5. Wolph’s ethics & fashion choices reflect on
that of the punk rock movement. Indeed in
the original script , Brooklyn asks “Why can’t you
just do the respectable clique Punk boy thing and go straight edge already?”.
The character therefore not only not only reflects the particular social group , but
also adds a sense of historic context to the product . This was also achieved with
John Bender in ‘The breakfast club’ .
Wolph

6. Brooklyn possesses feminist ethics ,also
reflected in ‘10 things I hate about you’
character , Katrina . This reflects
feminists and adds further social context .
Brooklyn

7. Eli’s eccentricism reflects on those who
aren’t afraid to think outside of the box .
Not only does this achieve the same effect
as ‘The perks of being a wallflower’s
Patrick but it also encourages others to see
this as a healthy way of thinking.

8. First impressions , it seems that Solis
represents School athletes and Luna shadows
the “nerds” . Delving further into this ,
audience should pick up on how the twins
mirror the common issue in the teenage –
those who are pressured by their parents .
Solis & Luna

9. Pixie represents the teenagers who thrive
off maintaining a seemingly solid social
stance . This is also reflected in
characters like Amanda Jones in ‘Some kind
of wonderful’ .
When Pixie finds her new friends , she
learns about the idea of quality over
quantity .
