Download or read book Senior Anonymous written by Matthew Hallman and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Senior Anonymous is about the one year that Matt was a senior. It goes through the chronological series of adventures and misadventures that Matt and his friends managed to do for that year. It recalls so many of the classmates, teachers, coaches, and strangers who added to that year that is supposed to be such a vital springboard into life. The story leans heavily upon the drinking and smoking that became a partner in all the activity, whether it was school or after-school events. And clearly the events are intended, as they were then, to bring some laughter. There is an undertone, though, of the early days and signs of someone who is becoming an addict and alcoholic. There is an update summary of the lives and situations as they are today that sometimes reflects sarcasm, but a sense of happiness and spiritual contentedness as well.

She spends her days going through the motions, dreading the moment when her reality will vanish from existence. What’s worse, she’s in love with her boyfriend Jason. That doesn’t seem so bad, except he’s the wrong version of the boy she fell in love with. While he may look and act just like the Jason from the “True” timeline, something isn’t right. Then she comes home one day to discover she has a new foster sister. Herself. Going by Jess’s middle name and pretending to be her cousin, Marie has been kicked out of several foster homes in the “True” timeline. Who better to take care of her than her own parents from another timeline, right? Despite having been the exact same person at one point in their lives, Jess and Marie couldn’t be more different. After kicking Jess out of her own bedroom and hacking her Instagram account, it’s clear Marie isn’t going to make Jess’s life any easier. Jess tries to take comfort in the fact that so long as Marie is living in her timeline, she gets to continue living, which means she has things to look forward to. Like the Homecoming Dance! But when Jess’s friends notice their similarities, they suggest giving Marie a makeover and having them switch places at school for a day. What seems like a harmless prank ends up turning Jess’s world upside down. For Marie, that’s all just fun and games. The daughter of a corrupt time-cop has much more sinister plans.

Download or read book Virginity on Screen written by Caroline Madden and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-09-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginity--a major adolescent rite of passage--has been explored in the coming-of-age film genre for many decades. This book examines the evolution of teen movies over the past 40 years, posing crucial questions about how film shapes our cultural understanding of virginity. By surveying more than 30 mainstream and independent coming-of-age films from the 1980s to the present, it considers what types of first-time sexual experiences are represented on screen, how they are different for men and women, and whether they are subverting or reinforcing gender stereotypes. Drawing from notable teen movies such as Dirty Dancing (1987), American Pie (1999), Real Women Have Curves (2002), Lady Bird (2017), and Plan B (2021), the book identifies a progressive shift toward more sex-positive and feminist representations of first-time sexual experiences on screen. Each chapter studies how the political climate, sex education policies, and cultural norms specific to each era impact the film's release and its teenage audience.

And if that's not enough interracial drama for South Bay's mostly white, wealthy student body, Jayd and her bold, beautiful, black renaissance crew have more on the way. . .. Friends and teachers at South Bay High may be hating, but Jayd and Jeremy are falling in love, and if anyone has a problem with their happiness, especially an ex who's back in Jayd's life aiming to sweep her off her feet—well, that's no surprise. This is Drama High after all. And Jayd is no stranger to controversy—it's in her blood, and it seems it's in her girl Nellie's blood too. Homecoming is just around the corner, and South Bay High has never had a black princess, queen, or royalty of any kind for any event. But that's about to change. The Drama Club is sponsoring Nellie to run for the junior class, hoping to give the Cheerleaders and Athletes a run for their money. If Nellie wins, she'll make history. In fact, Nellie is so deep in the zone, Jayd's afraid she'll forget to watch her back because the students of South Bay are serious about their crowns. As Nellie's chances for victory heat up, so does the hostility from the smartass opposition. Nellie may be flying too high to notice, but Jayd can see the drama coming. And as usual, she's on it—with a little help from her magical Mama and her mystical ancestors, of course.
