HW 57 - Initial Thoughts on Prom

Prom is seen as a significant social event that is a stepping stone for a high school student. From younger, youth have viewed prom through the imaginative eye. thinking of the typical Cinderella type story's that are presented to us in countless movies. Horse and carriage relating to the pricey limousine that many buy on such event. the casual attire that high schools make sure they look different and better than others. the pressure or want in having to have a memorable prom night is really just provoked. what happens before the prom like awkward photos, mother crying as she sees her seed grown up she says. Than theirs prom where people make entrances, slow dance, drink punch and wait for something spectacular to happen.

Prom is coming close and i see the pressure people have to want to be prepared and "great" for the event. an event which last only a night, where teenagers kids feel their leash come off from their parents and everything before them. personally Ive always had solid communication with my mother when it comes to being with friends or having a social life. because i proved to her that im able to be independent with all that i do and knows im with the same friends since 6th grade. prom night will be the same. even though the typical prom festivities and attributes are present for my prom day, something i dont quite mind, its really just having a good time with good friends.   thinking that the night will be like one in the movies is uneccessary because that is rare.

Than again, we all want things to happen to us as they do in fair tales. Especially as Americans glamor and riches are something we want in life. Rather than just success, many just want riches. Prom is a day where your able to flaunt your parents riches and present yourself in a matter like they do in rap videos( like andy stated). i agree with the statement because you dont see any individuals who are rich significantly successful(hard working) flaunting everything they have because that would be considered stubborn and unnecessary.  but for rap artists its what there order to do. But prom day is a night where your able to flaunt your success, finishing high school on a high note and moving on to college.

Questions

Is it really a pivotal moment?
How has prom become a typical cinderalla story rather than just a regular celebration?
whats a school staff's responsibilities or plans for the event?
how was or is your prom going to be different?
