Comparison of Thirteen and Adrian Mole

Adrian Mole and Tracy have a lot of things in common. They are from low-cultured families with economic problems, and both come from separated parents. Both have aspect quirks and they are very worried about their beauty problems.

In Adrian Mole's case, he has realized about the affair between his mother and his neighbour, and in Tracy's case she realizes about her divorced mother, who have really tired aspect to support the family. For example, her mother cuts neighbours hair, she looks after children...

Adrian and Tracy start in the same point: an innocent kid coming from primary school and discovering the real world. They want to be cool, and for it they'll do anything (drink, wear expensive clothes, steal, etc.) Also they live their first relation-ship. 

In Tracy’s case, she mixes with wrong people and they lead her badly (like taking drugs, drinking, smoking...) If that wasn’t enough, Tracy cuts herself to feel better psychologically because she has an unstable self-esteem.

I think the fault of this change is the environment which involves them, because they fall in a series of bad problems and they can’t get out of them, then they start to realize what the world is really like.
 
I think Adrian couldn’t fall in the same problems of Tracy because she’s a girl and it is usually easier for girls to fall in these problems of popularity, boyfriends and alcohol parties...

I think the phrase “If you’re not that way, you’re nothing” come in the life of Tracy for her first value. I think this phrase is totally stupid because it was said by Evie, who has hard drug’s problems and a serious identity problem, and also I think the real importance is in the main character.


On “Beauty is truth” phrase appears on a posters at the beginning of the film, when Tracy wants to be cool, then she makes friends to neglect her own character... then she falls in a black hole which is really hard to leave. Then, at the end of the film, we can see theses posters crossed out, when she knows the real world which presents a lots of problems which have to be solved by our self.
