Title: The Devil Wears Prada
Pages: 38-98 (Total: 691)

Andy (Andrea) ordered furniture for her new room and enjoyed her independency( away from her parents) even though she lives with two roommates: Kendra and Shanti who are also workaholics. Andy celebrated Thanksgiving with her family and told them-sister Jill, mother, and father- about her new job.

On the first day of Andy's job, she learns from Emily, that Miranda Priestly is on her annual vacation and will not be in the Elias-Clark building for one month. From all the rumors about Miranda Priestly being harsh, Andy is glad that she has some time to adjust herself before Miranda arrives back in New York. Andy cannot help but feel excluded from her co-workers about conversations and gossips of A-listers whom she does not recognize. The obvious difference between her and her co-workers doubts her abilities of commitment and intentions. Over Andy’s Thanksgiving dinner with her family she plays it cool by explaining the exclusivity and desires of her job, yet her father, a shrink, was certain there was more behind what she was saying. Andy commits her concern of belonging and whether she will learn or gain anything from this mindless job, but her father reassures her that she is making the right decision. The feeling of loneliness has also struck upon me when I was in a class full of students who have already formed into cliques where I was not in. My attitude changed and made me want to give up on learning, then I realized that I did not go to school to try to fit in, but to learn. An impressive resume is Andy’s priority and education, mine. As long as we both keep our priorities straight, we will achieve what we want.
