in a certain fashion, and seem to resent it. In her opinion, Katie
sees the young women as being focused on their appearance. "But Juli goes
deeper than appearances", she says. This sets Juli apart from the popular
girls, whom Katie describes as conforming to a "dangerous" type of femininity-- of being for someone else's gaze.
Questions
