Bernice was so quiet before and become so socialize, but I think Bernice just pretend it. One cannot fully changes his or her personality or the way to act. The guy just see the girl's out-appearance to hang out with. Maybe Bernice will change to the real Bernice after she goes back to her hometown.

Bernice bobs her hair
Bernice bobs her hair!!!Today, we just watch this movie and the story was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.At first i thought it's just Bernice chopped her hair off, and that is it. But it means more because of the society in that time. Bernice changes a lot from the first scene we saw. She turns into a society-girl from a quiet, conservative girl because of her cousin, Marjorie. She begins to teach her how to hang out with boys. One day, she decides to bob her hair( I think she's just joking). Marjorie becomes jealous because Bernice captures all the guy's heart from her. She tell Bernice to bob her hair and let everyone watch it. Before she bobs her hair, the guys are so intense about it, but after that, they just walk away and show not interest to her. Marjorie's plan succeed, but Bernice takes the revenge and cut her hair in the midnight and leave happily. I wonder what Bernice's mother will react when she see her daughter bobs her hair.

I wonder about the idea that Bernice has not changed. I believe that she has changed more than we might expect. She gained confidence in her abilities because of the things that Marjorie has made her do. It bothers me that Bernice cuts her cousin's hair off. I think that such an action is mean and not justified because her cousin has actually helped her, but the help does not include allowing her to take the boy that she is interested in. Competition between the two seems healthy, and it is Bernice who has allowed the hair bobbing to go on; she could have stopped it at any point. It is certainly an interesting story. Your ideas about Bernice are as valid as the ones that I have described here; please do not think that I am saying that your ideas are wrong. I am simply arguing another point. This is a good post -- thoughtful and well presented. You still struggle with language a bit, but your have gotten your point across clearly.
