  Representation of Age Themain connotations of teenagers are: Criminal Drugs, Alcohol& sex Gangs The main character is is a teenager aged 16-19. This will appeal to mostly male teenagers around this age group as they can relate to the character.

  Representations.. Themain character is a male. This is represented in a stereotypical way as most leading characters in thrillers are male. He is represented as a working class male. This is also represented in a stereotypical way as he is young and black. He wears hoodies and baggy jeans with trainers. This also represents age. His character can be juxtaposed with the leading female character ,Miss layla who he is trying to kill. She is a middle class teacher. This is common in thrillers, low life working class people obsessed with middle class people with intentions of killing them. We chose to represent a stereotype rather than challenge it due to high crimes especially from young black males.

  I chose tocompare my character from the main character from adulthood. They both have similar representations of young males. They are both males, both go to college and are both black. They have similar fashion tastes as they both wear hoodies and trainers. Both have weapons that are going to use to commit murder. (knife, baseball bat) Overall this character best suits my character as he has similar elements of representing a black youth.
