Representations of British Youth
Scenes that show these representations
Attack the Bloc
Girl – Jodi
Moses
Monsters
Yobs at first
Initially violent – Intimidating - ride their bikes towards her
Surround her - threatening
Violent - push her over and pull out a knife
Wearing hoods, patterned scarves
Colloquial lang - bruv,  brpetc
The fact that they carry round bats and fireworks to use as weapons makes them scary - also shoes their age as others would carry a knife, gun etc - they can't as they are too young
Main black - ringleader - gives orders - allow it - others follow what he says
Angry - looking for a fight - cornered her - would do it as a group - scarier - wouldn't do it alone
Looking after their council bloc
Black/ mixed ethnicity

HOWEVER
Towards the end our opinions change as they try to defeat the aliens – Moses nearly gets hurt and we sympathise and feel worried. Also the police look like the bad guys for arresting them
