Prom in my mind is basically an event that is set up for the students (mainly seniors in high school) to give them one last big event before they go off to college. When the students show up they are all dressed up in the nicest pieces of clothing they can find to give them the idea that they are like celebrities. The whole entrance and picture taking aspect of the prom makes them feel important and like a celebrity would with everyone watching their moves. As the prom drags on the thought of the after party comes into play and the whole excitement about the actual prom tends to fade away into somewhat of a distant memory. The after party is pretty much the highlight of the night in the way that they are independent and have all this money to spend on what they want that night.
My thought about the whole idea of prom is that in a way it is just another reason to try and bring a grades community together. The thought of that one last thing to remember makes the students want to make it as special as possible. But prom is also a very expensive night. A ticket at our school costs around $140 and on top of that your going to want to have extra money for whatever you want to do on prom night. Then if you want a limo that could be about another hundred dollars. By the end of the night you have spent a couple hundred dollars for what is supposed to be one of the most memorable nights of your life, but what happens if it isn't? If your whole night turns out bad then you just wasted a lot of money to have a bad night.
Questions:
1.) Why do the students feel the need to impress others with what they wear to prom?
2.) How is prom looked at in the perspective of those who have never gone to a prom?
3.) Why does it matter so much to a person when it comes to picking a prom date?
