Allen- A Surburbia full of "Hypebeast"

        The suburbia Edward lives in is full of people who can be considered as "Hype beast". A hype beast is a person who follows trends for the sole purpose of impressing others. They do this because they have no sense of self worth or identity.

         In modern life people do anything to feel safe and accepted. They fear the challenge of being an outcast. In this case the people of this broken suburbia want to feel involved and apart of society so they have to follow the unwritten rules, which are basically just doing as the majority does. This town is dirtier tan the eye can see. There is a nymphomaniac, an overweight nagging housewife, a religious freak and a group of unbusy gossips.

         Edward Scissorhands goes through the easy part of acceptance as he first arrives to the city he undergoes the easy version of acceptance because he is new and different from everyone else, everyone wants to know who the creepy looking guy is. However, after while he is rejected and must now go through the true steps of being accepted. Edward must now follow the unwritten rules and attempt to conform .

         After all of the nonsense Edward faced he is exiled. Edward is ok with this surprisingly, he no longer wishes to be apart of a society so identical. He realizes that he is better and things are easier if he just separates himself once again. Since Edward has been alone once before he does not take it too hard, he continues to make art. To sum it all up Edward was not accepted by the society of that suburbia because they did not understand what type of person he was.

  1. Great job at in describing the suburaban area and the multiple personalities it includes. I like the term you used to describe the people of the suburbs "hype beast", very compelling and grabs your attention. Good job overall at describing the key elements of the movie and characters.
