2. How dows your media product represent particular social groups?


Sarah is similar to Bex from Waterloo Road. Bex is controlled by her boyfriend and has no control over her life or decisions. Like Sarah she cannot turn to anyone due to fear of her boyfriend finding out. However, Sarah is a dancer which helps her to escape from the chaos of what is happening around her, Bex has no escape. Both of the girls dress similar in ways as they both cover as much of their body as possible with clothing, however we only ever see Bex in her school uniform, whereas we often see Sarah in her dance clothes. Both girls are blond and look frail and vulnerable, they also live in fear of men. Bex was a great influence for Sarah's character, however we have changed elements of Bex's character so as to give Sarah an individual persona.
