HW 33

I think that coolness is a distraction from the reality of life. I also think coolness is a myth. In high school at least. Think about it, all the rich and successful men and women of the world are "cool", but in high school, most of the "cool" kids are not rich, or successful. a lot of them actually are struggling with school, but isn't coolness about making everything look effortless? There are many contradictions in the world of cool. People state that coolness is about having money, but In almost all movies and books etc. where people there is a hero who's cool, the person is usually who you would not expect to be cool, because he/she is lower class, or different. We see that in school too. When we interviewed Chris about his clothing, he had on a 4000 dollar outfit, but he lived in the projects.
