Blonde Ambition pgs. 45-88

Summary: In chapters 5 through 10, Anna is finally beginning to live on her own without her family. He sister, Susan had recently been checked into rehab, and Anna never used to talk to her parents before, so they are out of the picture as well. With Anna's new job falling into place as an intern on a hit show called Hermosa Beach, she is really started to get her life together. Anna had to remove herself from her parents and her sister to pursue her life as an intern. The only newly found problem that may become a conflict for Anna is her boss's daughter. The readers don't know to much about the boss's daughter, but i think that she may be a significant figure in the novel.
Quote:"I put myself in your more than capable hands" (Dean 44)
Reaction: So far, i can tell that this book has some bildungsroman elements. The readers can see that Anna has to leave her safe place to make something of herself. Anna's safe place is under her parent's watchful eye. At the beginning of the novel, Anna told the readers that she often gets check-ups from her family. As she is on her own, the check-up calls that Anna receives are becoming more and more less frequent than at the beginning. Also, Anna is creating her home away from home, which is her job as a TV intern. The big responsibility that she is gaining is making her grow up a lot more. I think that by the end of the novel, I will notice a change in the way that Anna is being portrayed by Zoey Dean. The responsibility is going to make her change more than any other factor in the novel, like her family or her relationship with the boss's daughter.
