They are, each and every one of them, heroes to me —as they are to up-and-coming line cooks, wannabe chefs, and culinary students everywhere. They’re clearly surprised to see each other here, to recognize their peers strung out along the limited number of barstools.

  • The Big Short Author: Michael Lewis Extract
    The Big Short Author: Michael Lewis Extract Prologue Poltergeist The willingness of a Wall Street investment bank to pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars to dispense investment advice to grown-ups remains a mystery to me to this day. I was twenty-four years old, with no experience of, or particular interest in, guessing which stocks and bonds would rise and which would fall. Wall Street's essential function was to allocate capital: to decide who should get it and who should not. Believe me when I tell you that I hadn't the first clue. I'd never taken an accounting course, never run a business, never even had savings of my own to manage. I'd stumbled into a job at Salomon Brothers in 1985, and stumbled out, richer, in 1988, and even though I wrote a book about the experience, the whole thing still strikes me as totally preposterous - which is one reason the money was so easy to walk away from. I figured the situation was unsustainable. Sooner rather than later, someone was going to identify me, along with a lot of people more or less like me, as a fraud. Sooner rather than later would come a Great Reckoning, when Wall Street would wake up and hundreds, if not thousands, of young people like me, who had no business making huge bets with other people's money or persuading other people to make those bets, would be expelled from finance. When I sat down to write my account of the experience - Liar's Poker, it was called - it was in the spirit of a young man who thought he was getting out while the getting was good.

  • Representations of Female Adolescence in the Teen Makeover Film
    Representations of Female Adolescence in the Teen Makeover Film By Kendra Marston A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in Fulfilment of the Requirements for a Degree of Master of Arts in Film Victoria University of Wellington 2010 Abstract This thesis proposes to analyse the representation of female adolescence in the contemporary teen makeover film. The study will situate this body of films within the context of the current postfeminist age, which I will argue has bred specific fears both of and for the female adolescent. This thesis will examine the construction of the initial wayward makeover protagonist, paying attention to why she needs to be trained in an idealised gender performance that has as its urgent goal the assurance of heteronormativity and ‘healthy’ sex role power relations. I will also analyse the representation of deviant adolescent female characters in terms of how their particular brand of postfeminist female masquerade masks a power and status-oriented agenda. The behaviour of these characters is shown to impact negatively on the peer group within the film, and is particularly dangerous as it threatens to negate the need for romance. 1 Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgements 3 Introduction 4 Chapter One 23 Chapter Two 62 Chapter Three 86 Chapter Four 112 Conclusion 132 Bibliography 143 Filmography 153 Television Sources 155 Internet Sources 157 2 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge my supervisor Sean Redmond for the time he put in to helping me with this thesis, as well as for the encouragement, support and advice offered. 3 Introduction My Moment of Awakening in the Makeover Moment While watching The Princess Diaries (Garry Marshall, 2001) for the purpose of this research, I became fascinated by the particular tone of its makeover scene.
