THE REBEL

Tessa Altman is a good example of the Rebel Stereotypes

Tessa Altman, is a teenaged girl who is moved by her father from New York city to to the suburbs so her dad George Altman can give Tessa, a better life after he finds a box of condoms in her drawer.

The Rebel stereotype is a person who challenges the environment they are moved into, and challenge the way of the people in in that life style community .

Tessa from Suburgatory is a perfect example of a rebel as she refuses to turn into one of the plastic make-up clade daughters of the simple minded naive suburban housewife’s.

The representation of Tessa is that she wears dark colour, and has her own style. Black biker boats and does not have her hair fashionably do or heaps of make-up.

The effect of a rebel stereotype in media representation, TV shows, like Tessa Altman will have a positive effect on teenage girls as it will teach them to be their self’s and not be like others around them, Tessa will show them that some rebellion can be good and can help you find yourself and be unique, which is what most teenage girls need.

This stereotype can give the media negative views on girls as it can show teenagers as clones or copy-cats of one another or it could say that teenage girls are out of control and want stop rebelling against their teachers and parents.

It could also encourage girls to be their selves and not act like everyone else.

I think Tessa is a realistic portrayal of the Rebel stereotype though there are also worse types of rebels (Jade West) Tessa dose no cross the line of right and wrong which is why she is a good and realistic stereotype of a Rebel.



A bad example of a Rebel West is Jade from Victorious.

The Rebel stereotype is a person who challenges the environment they are moved into, and challenge the way of the people in in that life style community.

Jade is the perfect example of a rebel from Victorious as will let people know if she does not like them and will hurt people to prove it. She likes to rebel against her school and friends and do the opposite of what is expected off her.

The representation of Jade is that she wears mostly black clothing with leather jackets and short skirts. She wears biker boats and knee length boats. With a lot of expensive jewellery.

The effect of a rebel stereotype in media representation, TV shows, like Jade will give a negative representation. Were Tessa knows the line of what is rebelling and what is just plain nasty Jade does not. She lets her temper o uncontrolled and when people try to rain her back she just hurts them physically. This is a negative representation as it could have some girls thinking it is ok to act rude and hurt others.

I think Tessa is a non-realistic portrayal of the Rebel stereotype as no one could be that mean and have the friends she dose. I think she is a negative portrayal of a Rebel.
