THE KNOW-IT-ALL pt2
Hermione Granger is a teenage girl, training to be a witch at Hogwarts School in Engand.
She is the brightest girl of her age and is known as a Know-it-all, as she trys to show she is worthy of being a witch, as many are prejudice against muggel borns. We see her evolve over the years and become a girl next door while keeping her know-it-all characteristics.
Herminoe showed though the media of the Harry Ptter Films, that being smart is cool and that more girls around her age should focus on there studies, and strive to learn more, which comes in handy when she is in trouble .
This would have made a bigger ush in girls grades as they would try to bring up their grades in the hopes of being more like Hermione.
This can show that teengae girls are very susceptible to what is shown in the media as cool and the popular thing of that time and Hermione for many years Hermione was ans is cool and popular through her studies and adventours.
I think the stereotype of the Know-it-all is good as it incorages teenage girls to take more interest in school and to want to achive more actidemicly.
This is a realistic portrail as there is always a Know-it-all or try-hard in class that wil want to answer the questios and get them right, but this might be exagerated alittle by the fact that Hermione knows the answer to quite litraly everything.

Hi Mae. It may be worth putting your blog in word first to check the spelling etc. Do you have evidence that Hermione encouraged girls to improve their grades? Yes teenage girls are susceptible to what is shown in the media but do you have evidence that Hermione affected them? Is the stereotype of know-it-all always a good one in the media?
