transformation Clueless (1995) is derived from Jane Austen’s classic novel Emma (1816) with both texts comparable as they use satire to address similar values. The shift in context enables the texts to reinforce the values of Regency England or 1990s Beverly Hills. Heckerling subverts and appropriates the original text to a cinematic context‚ through this she can comment on American society thus invoking new meaning to the ideas in Emma. Both composers approach the place of the social hierarchy‚ placing

Patriotism isn’t something you know it is something you have to feel. Patriotism is the love of one’s country and the willingness to defend it. Patriotism does not mean a lot to me at the point of my life. The way our government is treating immigrants is rude and irresponsible.

“Man loves liberty‚ even if he does not know that he loves it…” José Martí’s word have never rang more true. There never been a more liberty-loving generation than my own‚ and never one that was so far from understanding how to achieve it. I am regularly encountered by those who are genuinely believers of expanded personal freedoms‚ yet tout a system that not only temporarily represses personal freedoms‚ but if allowed to act in the long run‚ fully extinguishes them. Many times‚ for the sake of civility

Jane Austen’s Emma is brilliantly constructed of a series of character’s misunderstandings and complex subtexts that weave together to tell many stories at once. Each character’s knowledge and ignorance in various situations offers insight into their personalities and affects the way they interact with other characters‚ often resulting in comedic exchanges. One of the best examples of this amusing writing style of Austen’s is Mr. Elton’s proposal to Emma Woodhouse. The proposal scene is the
