This movie: ''Ghost world'' was a very good and nice movie. It reminded you the years when you were on school and the casual and lazy behavior as a teenager who is ready to become adult. Rebecca wants to become independent. She wants to leave away from her parents just like the most teenagers. Also I found out many differences between America and Greece. In Greece , my country , teenagers aren't so eager to go work . The ideology that exists here is that children must study at university first and then they will work with ''dignity''. Also I saw that Enid's father was very tolerant and he gave her the chance to decide for her future instead of my country . Here, parents decide for their children future and they impose their decisions . If the children react to this properly studying then the situation will be OK but if they don't then they are pressured from their parents to find a work to live. I can say that in America there isn't the same misery which there is in Greece. The pattern that all children follow is work marry children work and death. And this is supposed to describe LIFE. Enid is a different character . She is unconventional , she doesn't want to follow the same path , she feels the injustice that there is in society . When she reacts to that she becomes a ''foreign'' person that needs to be excluded from society . She tries to find a purpose in her life , a person that might have the same interests with her and this person is Seymour . I can say that Enid is an arrogant person because at the same time not only can compromise with the society but she doesn't want to study at university to get a major role in her society trying ,with that way , encounter the way that things are. Enid once mentions that wants to kill her self and I believe that this confession marks her whole character. She is a frustrated person .her mother has died , her father wants to marry the hateful stepmother . She is confused , she doesn't know what she wants ( scholarship for art class) and I believe that typifies all the teenagers of her age that are at the same situation or a similar one. I believe that Enid has psychological problems because when you are thinking suicide , when you are talking to old men its not a normal behavior but a divergent one . On the last scene Enid left with the bus . Is this means that she wants to do a new beginning or she has bored her life next to her father and she cant deal with the ''bad'' and suspicious society ? This up to you.
