Punk for a month

After reading the text we had to answer some questions:

1. Is Julie fair to her old friends in the change she makes? How might she have handled the change differently so as not to alienate her friends?
I think she takes a personal decision that doesn't really affect her friends, so she didn't have to ask for permission. Actually, her friends are the ones who don't accept her and alienate her.
Although, Julie should have tried to convince her friends about accepting her.
2. Julie makes new friends once she changes her appearance. What problems can you predict with these new friends?
These new friends might only like her because she is punk, but once she becomes "normal" again they might betray her and leave her alone.

3. Does Julie change internally as a result of changing externally? Can simply dressing differently influence a person's character? Why, or why not?
She changed, of course, and became a much happier person who's accepted and taken into consideration. By changing externally, she also started accepting herself and took another perspective about life. By changing the way you dress, you are able to change your personality, but only if you want to.

4. What does appearance indicate about a person? In what ways may appearances be misleading? When is it appropriate to judge people based on appearances? When is it inappropriate?
Appearance might lead to prejudices which, in most cases, is misleading. In my opinion, it is never good to judge people based on appearances because, according to my experience, appearance never shows what a person is really inside.
We also had to relate the story of this girl Julie to a movie, so I chose "Legally Blonde" as in both stories the main character transforms from being "no one" to a recognizable or popular person. Here is the trailer of the movie:
