Emily White “High School’s Secret Life”

The theme of identity is clearly seen in Emily White 's Secret Life of High School article. In her article, White decided to express his identity in the form of social interaction. When I first read White's name, it was not well-known, I do not know her career. When I finished the abstract of her biography it represents a past appearance on her social journal and her career as a freelance writer. Through this information, I can understand the contents of the paper. Her argument is that high school consists of tribes. In this article, White decided to complete her research on Youth tribes "wandering in the morning ... wandering while observing this special high school tribe" (15). After observing the atmosphere of the school cafeteria, she concluded that high school is a "testing ground" for social exchanges (15). Throughout the article, White depicts a specific tone. As she tells the facts she saw, speak as if she says that her tone is very simple and high school children can not prove to be wrong. She suddenly did it when she said what she saw. She talked as if the teenager were a different kind of civilization in a certain area and refused to communicate with each other. The fact that she calls it a tribe allows us to see them through a very different way of thinking. I agree with the view of White's high school. A person who decides to contact himself indicates a part of the person. Their interaction with the tribe, and how they are dressed, will let others see that group as a type. These are important characteristics that make up the person's identity.

High school may be a very interesting time for many teenagers. This is a very interesting time, it is a very difficult time. Emily White's 'secret life in high school' counts the daily social interactions of many struggling teenagers in the outskirts of Seattle. Most of this article is used to explain the social situation of Capellia. Emily explains the cafeteria as a social "testing place" for students (page 15). White's view of observing and explaining these daily exchanges is that high schools may find it difficult to test their identity. For students, depending on the time of lunch break you are in, the appearance of friends you think may be destroyed soon. Emily said the cafeteria as "the zero point of school", the environment is "opportunity game" (16th page)). The description of the life of these students sounds very difficult, but accurate for many dangerous high school students. In these tribes, the identity of everyone is highly questionable.

Emily White's "Secret Life in High School" evaluates the student group of Calhoun High School in Seattle, Washington based on the behavior during another lunch break. White mentioned in the biography at the beginning of several journal articles that wrote through his career, such as the magazines "Spin Magazine", "Country Voice", "Los Angeles Weekly" (White 15), but I I have never heard of it. Do not think that when evaluating adolescence, she can be regarded as a reliable source of information. White provided several advantages when linking the hybrid of students at the restaurant to the social conventions of primitive tribes, but the assumption she did should not be based on student lunch break eccentric completely I think. Even after graduating from high school, I still remember the fresh stories I experienced in the cafeteria. And it can be said that some of her generalization is reality. But such a small example does not work for everyone.
