English Week
English Week 2010 took place from 11 Jan to 15 Jan. In the English Week, all students were indulged in :The World of Fashion;, theme of the English Week this year. All activities in the English Week were related to :fashion;, a word that may fascinate millions of people who keep pursing to look fashionable. However, are there any rules dominating the fashion realm? What is fashion? Is fashion related to utility or individual identity?
We hope the movie, The Devil Wears Prada, would provoke your thinking and help you find answers for the questions in your mind.
Movie Story: The Devil Wears Prada
Andrea Sachs, a graduate in journalism, lands a job as the second assistant to the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine-Miranda Priestly, the arrogant tycoon of the fashion world. Ignorant of and resistant to the fashion stuff, she is made a laughing stock by her gossipy colleagues including Emily Charlton, the first assistant, who always lords it over her. Even worse, she has kept running errands for her boss whose overbearing manners and humiliating remarks nearly drives her to despair. Gradually, with the guide of art director Nigel, Andrea begins to dress more stylishly and do her job competently. Having fulfilled a couple of missions impossible, she wins the picky boss' favor and is chosen to escort her to the fashion show in Paris. At the same time, she faces the temptation not only of designer clothes and accessories which may turn her into a material girl but also of a charming young writer Christian Thompson who promises to help her with her writing career. In addition, her relationship with her boyfriend Nate, a chef, and other college friends has been undermined owing to the increasing time she spends at Miranda's beck and call. Fed up with vanity and especially outraged about an injustice done by Miranda to Nigel, Andrea finally determines to resign. After that, she begins to make up with her boyfriend and has found a job as a newspaper reporter on the strong recommendation of her former boss Miranda.
