Blonde Ambition pgs. 88-133

Summary: In chapters 10 through 14, the readers learn more about the boss's daughter. The boss's daughter is named Cammie, and I already see that she is going to be a problem. Zoey Dean portrays Cammie as the clichรจ mean girl whose main purpose in the story is to make Anna's life a living hell, which is true, because Cammie is. Cammie's father is a famous big shot who spoils and corrupts her with the money that he earns for his exclusive productions. We, the readers, meet Cammie when we meet her father and she doesn't seem very friendly. Cammie intimidates Anna on the first day of the production, automatically giving the readers a sense of who she is.
Q
uote: "And then, to show her who was the boss..." (Dean 101)
Reaction: My overall reaction, from reading this section, was a little surprised. I was shocked that Zoey Dean would take this route as an author, take the route of making almost clearly visible good guys and bad guys. The readers clearly see that Cammie is the bad guy in the novel, intimidating naive Anna. I noticed that Cammie tries to get the upper hand when dealing with Anna. I also see that the story may become a bit redundant because in the small amount of time that Anna has worked for Cammie's dad, Cammie has mentally abused Anna. This seems like something that may keep repeating because Anna is by herself with nobody to defend. I think of Anna's situation with Cammie as "dog eat dog" because Anna is trying to establish her name in a "dog eat dog world" such as Hollywood.
