HW 27 -Informal Research

I spoke to a friend of mine, and i asked her only a few simple questions pertaining the word "cool". Some easy ones were What do you think is cool? What is your definition of it? and Do you think you are cool? Like others, if asked are they cool, she tried answered in the most humbling answer. She didn't think she was cool, she thought she was just average and no one special only that she is very like able to people and fits in, but wouldn't call it "cool". She believed that others would find her to be cool because of the way she was and her personality, even though she was just being herself always, whether it be polite calm or annoyed. My opinion of her answer though... because i know her and we've often spoken about ourselves, i am aware of her social-life within school, and her social-life outside of it, such as where she lives (Glendale, Queens). She loves her school, Talent Unlimited, a school for those who choose to pursue acting, singing, dancing etc. So odds are applicants in that school are kids of similar goals and needs who will have less differences than anything else between them. And in Glendale, "Gaydale" is what she'll refer to it as, is a place she terribly hates to live in. Supposedly she has only one friend out there, or maybe that is because she only tolerates one teen in that area instead of giving any others a chance. To explain her situation as easy as possible, she is cool in her High School but not so cool in her neighborhood.
