3. THE STORYLINE

4. It

met
3

and
was
later
placed
in

was

as
the
girls
were
wearing
heavy
makeup
and
were
also
dressed
in
branded
ouits.

has
stereotyped
thinking
that
they
were
actually
spoiled
rich
kids
with
bad
aYtudes,
just
from
their
looks.
She
has
created
the
schema
to
fit
all
3
girls
into
the
same
category/
group
of
people.

6. During
the
group
discussion,
J e s s i e
s h o w e d
h e r
unpleasantness
to
be
with
them
in
the
same
group
as
she
had
a
stereotype
that
they
are
spoilt
rich
kids.
The
aYtude
of
Jessie
caused
that
the
girls
to
create
a
bad
first
impression
of
her.
They
started
to
talk
about
brand
stuffs
and
le`
Jessie
out
of
the
conversaaon.

7. Jessie
felt
herself
has
been
isolated
by
the
girls.

bangs
her
hand
on
the
table
and
storms
off.

With
the
occurrence
of
Jessie
talking
rudely,
the
3
girls
have
created
a
first
impression
of
Jessie
as
grumpy
and
impolite.
The
mental
image
of
Jessie
in
the
minds
of
the
3
girls
have
been
created.
Now
that
the
girls
have
that
first
impression,
they
have
spread
the
rumor
of
Jessie
calling
her
an
introvert.
Now,
Jessie’s
first
impression
to
everyone
is
the
same
as
the
3
girls.

9. Jessie
went
back
to
her
house
a`er
school.
Finding
what
lies
behind
close
doors,
there
stood
her
father,
holding
a
bodle
of
beer.
This
was
when
Jessie
realized
he
was
drunk.
Due
to
his
intoxicaaon,
he
grabbed
her.
Jessie
first
insanct

to
defend

drunken
father.
The
acaon
of
this
shows
that
‘CuYng
of
Reflecave
Failure’
happens
so
that
the
behavior
doesn't
effect
Jessie
as
well.

11. Jessie
sat
in
the
corner
in
the
storeroom.
(A
flashback
occurs.)
3
years
ago,
her
father
went
bankrupt
and
started
to
drink
excessive
amounts
of
beer
everyday.
Her
father
abused
her

ame
when

DEFINITION:
Maslow’s
Hierarchy
of
Needs

13. When
she
was
about
to
give
up,
she
found
an
old
newspaper
with
a
case.
It
described
a
girl
whom
her

passed
away
when
she
was
only
12
years
old.
She
was

own
biological
father.

was
in
the
orphanage
she
got

and
even
raped
by
one
of
the
workers
there.
Then
Jessie
decide
not
to
give
up
as
she
was
not
the
most
unfortunate
person
in
the
whole
world
and
to
decided

the
outcome
because
they
realize
that
the
situaDon
is
not

could
be.
Instead
of

herself,
Jessie
decides
to
look
on
the
bright
side,
and
tells
herself
that
things
could
have
been
worse.
Downwards
counterfactual

her
life

a
person
of
a
worse
scenario.
Therefore,
she
moavates
herself
to
see
things
in
a
posiave
manner.
