The Other Side
Rey was never the shy type, I mean she was but never around the people she knew. She was different around the people she loved and the people she called her friends, not a different personality but she definitely kept some silly sexual jokes with her closest friend. One of them being Ben Solo, the boy whom she met when she was only 6 year’s old with one tooth missing. It was silly how they met, both of them fought over a car truck to realize it in fact didn’t belong to both of them, it belonged to the boy named Jake. Ever since, they all became friends. She never saw Ben differently, in fact she saw him as one of her pal’s that she could hang with or talk with about sports since none of her female friends would ever bring that subject up.

Sean Blanda’s, “The Other Side Is Not Dumb”, uses cultural examples concerning the younger American generation involving, the medias influence and peer pressure vs the actual facts and proof, involved while forming a personal opinion. The author emphasizes how the effects of pressure from our surroundings, such as: friends, media, and more, adjust our view of political and social subjects.

Although they both initially were upset at what the other did to them, they took ownership in the role they had played and eventually both individuals were able to win in the end. At that point, Ben didn’t care if he landed the big advertising deal. Andi didn’t care if she was able to be given the freedom to write about the things that mattered to her. This film wasn’t merely a comedy, it was a love story. It exemplifies the truth that love stories can derive from the most unlikely of circumstances.
...about himself, she says, “I’m sorry. I stopped thinking about you a long time ago. I can’t lie, Neely. You’re just not a factor anymore”(pg. 190). They were in a relationship when they were in high school, and for her to forget about him over fifteen years later is believable. This event is believable because it is possible for someone to forget a relationship that happened over fifteen years ago.
I feel like this is the moment she realized New York isn’t the place to live. “Everything that was said to me I seemed to have heard before, and I could no longer listen”. At this point, she is tired of the repetitiveness of city and can’t take it anymore.
