As Told By Ginger Character Analyzation

        Ginger is your typical teenage girl who is trying to get through junior high school. She goes about finding out who are her friends and who are her enemies. There are a couple characters in this show that Ginger learns are both in the same.

      Ginger goes about her life trying to go from the school geeks to being popular with her close friends. She records all that happens in her diary at home. Due to her habit of writing she is best at English in school. There is one point where she writes poetry and presents it in front of the class. Her writing hits home for many of the students and makes her efforts stand out.

     Ginger is focused on her classes but also engages in many social activities. She has seemed to find a good balance when it comes to both academics and social life. Her home life is one of any middle class family. She has been raised mostly by her divorced mother with her younger brother. Her father lives not terribly far away but id not heard from often. Ginger gets a view point of how the other half lives when Courtney invites her over for a sleep over. Courtney's family is very rich and owns a mansion. Ginger doesn't feel she needs everything that Courtney has and even has a good influence on Courtney. With Ginger's life being so simple Courtney actually tones down her life to be similar to Ginger's. Here is a clip of how influential Ginger can be on Courtney with out her even knowing it.

     Ginger also partakes in being a camp counselor at a summer camp near by. She shows her versatility of her skills out in the woods and coping with many personal emotions as well as helping the campers with their issues.

     If Ginger were in my classroom I would enough to try and challenge her. She seems bored in some of her classes. I feel, based on her other activities she could push herself to develop her writing even more. I would want to sit down and talk with her about her writing and see what she wanted to improve upon and find different techniques to use. One technique in particular would be to have her write out a short skit that would involve a few members of the class in order to visualize her writing and see it come to life. I feel like this could be beneficial to many of the students to try.

     Ginger is definitely college ready. She shows her passions in life and sticks to her duties prescribed. She wants to do so much and I feel like she would succeed in a faster paced environment.
