EDIT: hay, cocopops, learn to read please

oh yeah, right apologies, it was a "tl;dr" type of thing i did, should finish reading next time, okie pokie

Get something that tells you the uniform code of your school, and use that as an idea of conformity and be like I just insulted the school and it's ideals, screw your speech! It'll start conflict and irony and everything!

And have that "oh snap" looks about you while you give the speech but dont say it.

yes, yes... good work major you should totally consider that dude, especially the "oh snap" look.

The best text that you'll find is "The Dead Poets Society"

about a bunch of private school kids in an elite school stuck in the boundries of conformity. a new teacher from london comes and teaches them to seize the day

theres heaps of robert frost stuff too... robert frost was a poet...

"The Road not Taken"

http://www.davidpbrown.co.uk/poetry/robert-frost.html

no doubt you'll get top marks if you use this.

good luck

Dead poets society is an alright film. It does highlight confirmity...

 

[Jachie]

oh my gosh, I love Dead Poet's Society. Dr. Wilson! As a teenager! Will the madness never cease?

anyway I wanted to suggest "heathers" just cuz it's about teenage girls and like that's virtually synonymous with conformity but now that I actually think about it, that's not a good idea. but it IS a good movie, so watch it anyway.

Farenheit 451 - Ray bradbury

Yep that one. Tells us a society where reading books aren't allowed.

Yeah. By eliminating books, and hence knowledge, the action implicates that man will have no form of enlightenment and hence no power. (knowledge is power). The ACTUAL power resides with the Government who instigate rules on society, and due to their ignorance, are forced to conform. Conformity is so easily exemplified through the characters, and the techniques are easy to pick up on, so basically Farenheit 451 is a good choice. And also, it's a classic text Any help, pm me. God, I done this like four years ago.

 

[Jachie]

loolllers Mean Girls.

yeah 'heathers' wins over 'mean girls'


except I still adore both movies, so...

"if you have sex you will get sick and you will die"

"if you have sex you will get sick and you will die"

best movie quote

yeah except way to fuck up and misquote it.

"At your age you're gonna have a lot of urges. You're gonna wanna take off your clothes and touch each other. But if you do touch each other, you will get chlamydia. And die."

"Chlamydia - K-L-A..."

 

[genril]

fuck you.

 

[Jachie]

I'm sorry that you are so jealous of me.

But I can't help it if I'm popular.
