Her mother supports her to change everything for her life. Anrdrea has spirit to move on. She tells it to her friends and boy friends Alex also. All of them
support her too, until her social stratification happened unconsiously. By showing her performance style in her working and schedules of her working in daily life. She
must be having balance style in her environtment working, especially her attitude, attention and desire to reach what her duty. Nigel is her new friend’s office . He tries
to help her to arrange her costum which is suitable with her body and look modist. Here, She learns many things , because of these all of her habitsto be more
better. Her status become prestige woman and she is able to engage social change. It shown when she attended a small party and took a place go to Paris as Miranda’s
assistent. She has good capability to chage Emily’s position as a new assistent of Miranda. She accompanied Miranda’s meeting in Paris, on the other words, she
knows to control time with her schedules. However, She does not have any time to talk too much with her close friends because of her busy working. When she meets
Lily in a pub, she always gets phone from Miranda anytime, such as their conversation.

“Sorry,” I said to Lily. Looking at the phone warily as the displayscreamed MP CELL over and over again. “It usually
only takes a second for her to humalities or reprimand me, so hold that thought.” Lily set dawn her brush and watched me
answer.
“Miran-“ Again. I’d almost answered the line as though it were her own. “This is Andrea,” I corrected, bracing for the barrage.
“Andrea, you know I expect you there at six-thirty tonight, do you not ?” she barked into the phone without a greeting
oridentification of my sort. Weisberger, 2003 :285
Moreover, Andrea’s life is always busy day with her glamour performance for her working and she can not join with her friends to spare her time anymore. It
occured as long as her doing job, her social stratification look clearly. She finds success for it. However, She always focuses to be herself without any influence. She
becomes herself to do her duty in her job. She is proud of herself that she can control everything and brave to make decision.
Her social stratification is too influence her life style. She looks rich woman with her cloth model, nice performance and pretty. She comes to a party too, as
Miranda’s assistant. She looks glamours and pretty. She sits with a group of smart ,
interesting people, people just like Christian. She has date with him in Babbo. It is one of the restaurant that she wanted to go in New York. It is the place that Miranda
loves so much.

Had he just asked me out? Yes, I thought that’s exactly what had just happened. He was asking me out He was asking me out.
Christian Collinsworth was asking me on a date – a Saturday night date, to be spesific, and to Babbo, where he just so
happened to have a prime time reservation with a group of smart, interesting people, people just like him. Never even mind
the New Yorker writers I racked my brain, trying to remember if I’d mentioned to him at the party that Babbo was the
restaurant I most wanted to try in New York, that I loved Italian and knew how much Miranda loved it and I was dying to go.
Weisberger, 2003 : 159-160
All of her social stratification make her build up her ownself. Her life style looks like higher class. She realizes that her imagine to change her life can be
happened. She tries to enjoy for that happily and also proud of herself. She gets position easyly because she wants to work hard, thus, influence social stratification
run well to reach her lifestyle without having difficult problem, but in certain time she loses friends and boy friends. On the other side, all of her time spent for her
working.
