Society to Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink

Author's Note: this is my Text Analysis project. I decided to make it about Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink and Society Today.

In the book Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink, there's four characters that really stand out to me.  Libby, Ashling, Cameron, and Garret. What who you do if you had two guys fighting over your love? This is what Libby has to go through. Cameron and Garret both like Libby, and Libby doesn't know what to do. On the other hand,  Ashling is just a bully throughout the whole thing, but you always wonder why do the bullies, bully?

Bully. There's always that stereotype of the bully, the one who makes fun of people and also the one that nobody else likes. Ashling is the bully in this case. Sadly, when Libby first got to that historical day-to-day living museum, Ashling was the first to pounce. She didn't give anyone else a chance to judge, because Ashling always had to come first. The bad thing is, that Libby and Ashling were roommates.

One of the other stereotypes in this book is the new girl. In this case, her name is Libby. She's that new girl that everyone makes fun of. The one who doesn't really have any friends because, nobody wants to take a chance to ruin their reputation for some girl that just came. But just like every other new kid, she just wants to fit in. As in every story, this character progressively grows and becomes more important to the people around them. How does Libby grow?  Well she simply finds her way. She becomes friends with more people, and takes more chances.

Then there's always the stereotype of that super amazing guy that gets along with just about everyone. The one that every girl dreams of, and who can typically get any girl he wants.  Otherwise known as the popular guy. Cameron, is that guy. When Cameron first saw Libby, he fell for her. He absolutely wanted her. And she wanted him, well, all until one night.  The night of the Showdown. Cameron took Libby, but then ended up ditching her for his friend's. Just like every other girl, she got upset and didn't really want to talk to him. While Cameron loving her, he did everything in his power to try and redeem himself for ditching her that night. He would send her flowers, and say really cute Shakespeare lines to her. It all was working until she started to like someone else.

Garret. He is the typical nerdy guy who plays video games all the time. But he also has a twist to him, not really one that you would expect. He's kind of a bully, but really only to the girls he likes. So when he first met Libby in person, he was rude to her. He tried to make it seem like he had no feelings for her, and that he didn't need her in his life. But that's only what he showed, not how he actually felt. As the book progressed, he started to warm up towards her. Giving her signs that he really did have strong feelings. On the night of the Showdown, when Cameron left Libby, Garret and her 'accidently' ran into each other. Now the thing is, Libby wasn't used to this side of Garret, but she really liked it. He was there to listen, and he was there to try to give her advice on what she should do. Meanwhile, Libby started to like Garret back, and I guess you could say that it was a fairytale ending.  For everyone besides Cameron.

Poor Cameron was left alone. Heart broken. Nothing really to look up to for the day.  But he got through it right? Yes, he did. He found a way to live without Libby. Sounds kind of like Twilight to me. Jake was left alone, but he also ended up finding someone else. Does Cameron find another love? I guess you'll have to read it to find out! 

The reason that those four specific characters stood out to me was because they remind me of the stereotypes that are always used in movies, books, and life itself.
