F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Bernice Bobs Her Hair"

In class a few days a go, we watched a short film called "Bernice Bobs Her Hair." The idea for this film was taken from F.Scott Fitzgerald's story. "Bernice" is a film that shows an out-of-place adolescent staying with her much more socially gifted cousin. Her cousin teachers her how to be liked and accepted by people of their own age, and ends up creating a monster. This was a very enjoyable film that showed the worries of teenagers in that timeperiod and the struggles they go through to try and be accepted. I enjoyed this movie, because although the movie was very old, the issues that teens in that age faced are very similar to what teens face today.

  1. When you say that she created a monster, you need to be specific about what you see. Not everyone believes that Bernice is a monster. I need for you to advance an argument in these posts. Be specific about what you think you see and why.
