THROUGH JESSIE’S EYES

THE STORYLINE

It   was   Jessie’s   first   day   at   a  new  place,  a  new  beginning,  Taylor’s   University.   Many  have   told   Jessie   about   the  spoiled   rich   kids   with   bad  aYtudes   that   Taylor’s   had.  Regardless,   she  went   for  her  first   lecture   with   an   open  mind,  where  she  met  3  other  girls   and  was   later   placed   in  the   same   group   with   them.  She   was   uncomfortable   as  the  girls  were  wearing  heavy  makeup   and   were   also  dressed  in  branded  ou\its.  

CONCEPT 1: STEREOTYPING

DEFINITION:    A  stereotype  assumes  that  all  members  of  a  group  share  some  common  features.  

Before  geYng  know  the  3  girls,   Jessie  has  stereotyped   thinking   that   they  were  actually   spoiled   rich   kids   with   bad   aYtudes,   just   from   their   looks.   She   has  created  the  schema  to  fit  all  3  girls  into  the  same  category/  group  of  people.    

During   the   group   discussion,  J e s s i e   s h o w e d   h e r  unpleasantness  to  be  with  them  in  the  same  group  as  she  had  a  stereotype   that   they   are   spoilt  rich   kids.   The   aYtude   of   Jessie  caused  that  the  girls  to  create  a  bad  first  impression  of  her.  They  started   to   talk   about   brand  stuffs   and   le`   Jessie   out   of   the  conversaaon.    

Jessie   felt   herself   has   been  isolated   by   the   girls.   She   bangs  her   hand   on   the   table   and  storms   off.   On   the   next   day   of  schoo l ,   wh i le   Jess ie   was  entering   the   classroom   she  heard   her   classmates   gossiping  about  her.              

CONCEPT 2: FIRST IMPRESSION

DEFINITION:    A  first  impression  is  the  event  when  one  person  first  encounters  another  person  and  forms  a  mental  image  of  that  person.    

With   the   occurrence   of   Jessie   talking   rudely,   the   3   girls   have   created   a   first  impression  of  Jessie  as  grumpy  and  impolite.  The  mental   image  of  Jessie   in  the  minds   of   the   3   girls   have   been   created.   Now   that   the   girls   have   that   first  impression,  they  have  spread  the  rumor  of   Jessie  calling  her  an   introvert.  Now,  Jessie’s  first  impression  to  everyone  is  the  same  as  the  3  girls.            

Jessie   went   back   to   her   house   a`er  school.   Finding   what   lies   behind  close   doors,   there   stood   her   father,  holding   a   bodle   of   beer.   This   was  when   Jessie   realized   he   was   drunk.  Due   to   his   intoxicaaon,   he   grabbed  her.  Jessie  first  insanct  was  to  defend  herself   by   throwing   her   dad’s   hands  away.  Jessie  went  running  and  crying  into  the  storeroom.        

CONCEPT 3: CORFing

DEFINITION:  Distancing  ourselves  from  others  who  have  failed  or  behaved  badly.    

Jessie  had  run  away,  to  keep  away  from  the  badly  behaved,  drunken  father.  The  acaon   of   this   shows   that   ‘CuYng   of   Reflecave   Failure’   happens   so   that   the  behavior  doesn't  effect  Jessie  as  well.      

Jessie   sat   in   the   corner   in   the  storeroom.   (A   flashback   occurs.)   3  years   ago,   her   father   went   bankrupt  and  started  to  drink  excessive  amounts  of   beer   everyday.   Her   father   abused  her  every  ame  when  he  was  drunk.  She  shivered   with   fear,   as   she   had   lack   of  safety  and  security.      

CONCEPT 4: HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

DEFINITION:  Maslow’s  Hierarchy  of  Needs  is  a  descripDon  of  the  needs  that  mo7vate  human  behavior.    

Jessie’s   Hierarchy   of   Needs   such   as   physiological  needs   have   been   fulfilled.   However,   next   of   the  hierarchy   would   be   safety   and   security   needs  which   are   not   fulfilled.   Resulang   in   the   others   to  not  be  fulfilled  as  well.  

When   she   was   about   to   give   up,  she  found  an  old  newspaper  with  a  case.   It  described  a  girl  whom  her  mother   passed   away   when   she  was   only   12   years   old.   She   was  sent   to   an   orphanage  by   her   own  biological   father.  While  she  was   in  the  orphanage  she  got  bullied  and  even  raped  by  one  of   the  workers  there.   Then   Jessie   decide   not   to  give   up   as   she   was   not   the   most  unfortunate   person   in   the   whole  world   and   to   decided   to   stay  strong  in  facing  the  reality.    

CONCEPT 5: DOWNWARDS COUNTERFACTUAL THINKING DEFINITION:  Downward  counterfactual  thinking  concentrate  on  how  the  situa7on  could  have  been  worse.  In  this  scenario,  a  person  can  make  themselves  feel  be:er  about  the  outcome  because  they  realize  that  the  situaDon  is  not  the  worst  it  could  be.    

Instead   of   pitying   herself,   Jessie   decides   to   look   on   the   bright   side,   and   tells  herself   that   things   could  have  been  worse.  Downwards   counterfactual   thinking  makes   Jessie   feel   grateful   about  her   life  by   comparing  herself   to  a  person  of   a  worse   scenario.   Therefore,   she   moavates   herself   to   see   things   in   a   posiave  manner.
