Summary: Bernice Bobs Her Hair
Comment: I thought that the book, Bernice Bobs Her Hair was actually pretty good. The author did a good job of portraying society how it actually is now days. He showed that people try too hard to fit in and feel like they belong with others. They should not worry so much about being popular and feeling cool because that can often blow up in your face too. They may try too hard to fit in and end up with less friend than they had in the first place. The people who are in the "in" crowd in this movie are mean. They laugh at Bernice and they make her believe that she is starting to fit in. Then, once Bernice does one thing wrong, they all ditch her and say that she isn't cool and that she never was cool. Bernice was so naive and innocent in the whole thing until the end and that really surprises you. You don't expect that to come next. Marjorie seems kinda of witchy to Bernice just because she isn't cool and doesn't fit in with her and her friends. I think that the way the author wrote the story made it very real and I think that many people will be able to identify with the story. He did a great job of mixing comedy with some seriousness. If he had any more seriousness it could have become a little boring. The comedy was perfect. Some of the lines you had to really pay attention to but

Summary: The Bobbing
Comment: I thought that this book was pretty good. It was funny and taught a lesson. It really showed me how you should be yourself and not let anyone change you. I liked the irony in it and the surprise ending too. I kind of expected Bernice to end up bobbing her hair, but I really didn't think that she would have the guts to cut Marjorie's hair. In the beginning of the movie, Bernice was so shy, and just kind of kept to herself. I really thought that she changed throughout the book. She became more outgoing and kind of opened her eyes. she realized that the world isn't perfect and that there will be problems that you have to deal with. Her main problem was her mean cousin, and in a way, she did overcome it. She got revenge anyway. That's all that really matters. This book also did a good job at having the characters represt society at large. Marjorie represented the shallow and superficial people of the world, obviously, and Bernice represented the innocent and naive people. I think that what Bernice went through was kind of a good experience for her. It taught her many lessons in life that could only be taught through experience. She may have felt like an outcast, but everyone does at one point or another. At least she got something out of it. I think that these characters did a very good acting job. It really seemed like they were real. This was a good book, and I would recommend it to people. It has all the necessary characteristics of what a good book should have. Like humor, irony, and a learning experience.

Summary: Hair Today gone tomorrow
Comment: This wonderful story known as "Bernice Bobbs Her Hair", was an outstanding editon by S. Scott Fizgerald. This story told me alot about how you really can't trust someone who offers to change your social life and apperance. The caracterization used was good and the author made his points very clear as they came across very good. I am very good at picking those kind of things out but he made them very clear to me. I feel that Bernice took this act of kindness very well as she didn't take the public humiliation badly. She just took all of the attention from Marjorie and took it well. It was nice to see the spotlight switch from carachter to character once in a while. It goes to show who you can trust or not trust in life. This is a copy of our society today and it is actually happening.
