'Using the texts you have studied, discuss the ways in which a particular social group is represented in contemporary media'
To start this essay off, I would consider the various 'texts' we have studied and consider which would be the most appropriate to refer to in this question. As both A Hard Day's Night and This is England are set in the past we can ignore them. This leaves us with Fish Tank and The Descent. Fish Tank provides plenty of opportunity for social analysis due to its setting and focus on an angry adolescent main character. The Descent is slightly harder to make comments about due to the horror film nature of everyone trying to avoid being killed horrifically leaves little to discuss about social groups.
I would mention the portrayal of Mia (the central character in Fish Tank) as a typical working-class GIRL RESIDING IN THE RUN DOWN AREAS OF ESSEX
