KAREN SMITH
The stock character I have chosen is Karen Smith off of the movie Mean Girls. The audience assumes that she is a stereotypical "dumb blond". The audience assumes this because she has blonde hair and she has a dazed look across her face with wide eyes which shows that she's a bit slower than the rest of the characters when it comes to understanding fully right away. Also, the audience can tell by the clothes she wears that she is very centered on how she looks, which also falls into the "dumb blond" stereotype.
Further into the movie, the audience is shown and told that in reality, she basically does fall into the "dumb blond" stereotype. Karen Smith says things that show that she processes things much more slowly like when she says, "It's like I have ESPN or something." Which is her actually wanting to say ESP for extra special powers. Also, she falls into that stereotype because we get told she is very centered around looks when she introduces the "days of the week" and what to wear on those days such as "on wednesdays, we wear pink".

You did a great job with the information about Karen by having just important information to describe her stereotype and actions throughout the film. You had no unneeded information. It was simple and easy to understand her character even if you have not seen the film! GOOD JOB LYDIA!:D
