Hegemony: The idea that people with higher social class, power, and prestige play a greater role in influencing social trends. In this case Mandy feels the need of having better clothes in order to fit in with the popular kids.
Near the ending of that trailer it says she becomes the girl she was always meant to be. Now in life do you really believe in fate or destiny or do you think people become the person they want to be by the choices they make?
Were clothes the only thing, or does the guy have anything to do with it? Is she automatically no longer a clutz, or does that stay the same. So, if she's rich and can buy the clothes she's in, what if she's poor?
I think this is a prime example a "popular, rich" girl being the hegemony and the underdog rising up. It seems that she does so by conforming though... is this a good or a bad thing? Shouldn't the boy like her for who she is? It seems that it made the hegemony had to fight dirty to keep her popular place within the school. When Ashley (the main character) starts to wear nice clothes and finds the perfect dress, she starts to become cool so is that saying its okay for popular people to bully and belittle the underdogs if it means them changing to the mold of everyone else?!
