“Punk for a month” v/s Aladdin (draft)

Todays task is to connect a movie to the text we have being reading “Punk for a month”. This text talks about a girl called Julie that changes her appearance to be accepted by the “popular” social group of the school.

I thought about movies that had the same theme and I have finally chosen Aladdin, a Disney film from 1992. This movie is set in Agrabah, an Arabic city under the government of the Sultan. The city is shown as politically and economically stable and ruled by the Sultan, a wealthy person how has a daughter called Jazmin. The protagonist of the movie is a “street rat” called Aladdin how makes his day a day living by stealing but that in his heart is really a good person. One day the princes escapes (dressed as a normal person) from the palace of the sultan and meets Aladdin, how tries to impress her. Later the princess goes back to the palace leaving Aladdin. He later finds a magic lamp in dungeon that contains a genie, who reveals he will grant Aladdin three wishes. Aladdin tells the genie he wants to be a sultan so he can marry jasmine and is transformed to a sultan.

Both  stories have a similar plot where the protagonists change their appearance to be liked by a certain group. Aladdin, by using the powers of the genie changes its appearence to be liked by the princess and Julie from punk for a month changes the way she dresses and her hair.

Altho this two stories have different setting, bouth of them have a similar plot.
