Jasmines Lecture

NO WALLFLOWERS
NO INTROVERTS
NO ‘NICE GUYS’

It’s easy in this course to relate it to what you watched on TV.

I’ve been watching a new Netflix series “Orange is the New Black”.
Basically a show that follows the lives of women in prison. There is no room for wallflowers, introverts or nice guys.
Despite never being in a prison myself the show delivers what one would imagine. The women are not pretty and their are definitely no ‘nice guys’. Each character
Piper, the protagonist is a white, upper-class woman, with a soap business that gets caught up in drugs and lands herself in prison.
In the lecture I thought, ‘surely a show could have a wallflower in it. That could make for interesting TV.”
Piper is advised to stay towards the edges.

However that is what makes this show interesting. The times when Piper the quiet, blonde female bursts. When the nice lady becomes angry, when the introvert becomes and extrovert, when she although often unintentionally draws full attention to herself.
That makes it a great story.
