Product Information

Also, in her first chapter, she sees this "mysterious" guy around school - who later we find out is Patrick, this wasn't done in the film. Long before Olivia (Sydney Sweeney) and Paula (Brittany O’Grady) from The White Lotuswere flaunting their book covers, we had Katarina Stratford (Julia Stiles), the “tempestuous” lead character in 10 Things I Hate About You. He gets a rude awakening at the party when she darts off to hang with Joey, and he starts seeing and treating her more like a person.

While presented as tempestuous here, she's not violent (mostly, she apparently performed a Groin Attack on a guy but he was trying to grope her so, self defence) and all this behaviour is given a massive Freudian Excuse. A Haitian-American woman, she looks at pop culture and feminism from her perspective as a woman of colour and survivor of sexual assault. Does Not Like Men: Kat, in keeping with the original, won't deign to date the "unwashed miscreants" at the school. If you have seen it then you already have the knowledge of the characters and what's going to happen, so I think its nice as a good reference material or for a big fan, but this wouldn't be something I could recommend to someone who hasn't seen it as it doesn't do the film justice.It’s been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother.

Frustrated by Bianca's insistence and Kat's rebelliousness, Walter declares that Bianca may date only when Kat does, knowing that Kat's antisocial attitude makes this unlikely. A recent rewatch of 1996 masterpiece 10 Things I Hate About You revealed its central character – the ‘shrew’ herself, Kat Stratford – to be somewhat of a bookworm.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he is justified in finding Kat, Joey, and others painful to teach, one time he kicks Kat out of class when she makes it clear she approves of the assignment because he assumes she's making fun of him.I know how difficult it must be for you to overcome all those years of upper middle-class suburban oppression. Okay, maybe not in such a dramatic fashion, but if you don't know/love/like the movie, this book is quite boring. Kat, a senior, is accepted to Sarah Lawrence College in New York, but her father, Walter, wants her to stay close to home and attend his alma mater University of Washington. Bianca insists that she can make her own choices, so Kat agrees to go to the prom with Patrick, and Bianca decides to go with Cameron instead of Joey. A romantic comedy based on the classic Shakespeare play, "The Taming of the Shrew, " this book is a tie-in to the new teen movie starring Larisa Oleynik, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and teen idol Andrew Keegan.

It’s a line that resonates even to this day, especially in terms of which specific literature is still held up as “the beacon” to emulate. The sisters argue, and Kat reveals to Bianca that as a freshman, she succumbed to pressure from Joey and had sex with him. Morgan as an opportunity to share her continued true feelings for Patrick—which are, obviously, affectionate ones.A thrilling novelization that will take readers back inside the world of the upcoming Walt Disney Studios' live action Mulan film to relive the adventures with their favorite characters, old and new.
