3. The Characteristics
The purpose of the individual is, the writer wants to explain about the characteristic white girls in America. In the film of Material Girls many
characteristics of American girls showed by characters Ava and Tanzie. Such as: Ignorant, Hard worker, Emotional, Materialists, Careless, Romantic and
friendly.
a. Ignorant
Basically, the character of white girls is they almost don’t care to their surrounding. This is because, they only think about themselves. The
scene that describes the character of Ava and Tanzie in Material Girls movie also have the same character with other white people commonly,
they don’t care their surrounding.
Tanzie : why do we have dogs?
Man
: we got them last year after all the break-ins.
Tanzie
: we had break-ins.

Man : you guys didn’t pay any attention to the business, did you?
Ava
: no apparently not
Tanzie
: no kind of
Material Girls, 00:56:52,642 -- 00:56:54,735
From the picture and dialog above we can conclude that the character of Ava and Tanzie do not really care about the situation around
them. Because they are too busy with their task, the character of Ava and Tanzie are describing a whole of characters of white girls mostly.
Inez : Good night
Ava : why does all this stuff, Look so familiar?
Tanzie
: Cause it used to be ours, Daddy must have given it to her. I didnt even recognize it at first. My puppy sticker collection is
still here. My popcorn scratch-and-sniff SNIFFS It still smells like popcorn. I feel like Daddys still alive, and hes just
gonna come and save us.
Ava
: Well, hes not
Material Girls, 00:30:16
From these dialogue above it’s shown that white people are often don’t care about their stuff that they ever had but actually it still useful.
They ignore their stuff because they are used to live in sufficiency. These are the white people habit toward their stuff, but when they get their stuff
which they ever had before they realize that it’s still used for them and it must be kept.

The example diffraction is seen by picture and dialogue above, they are heedless their own mattress, actually they parents has given it to
Inez after they are bought a new mattress.
b. Hard worker
White people are recognized as a hard worker. Mostly many people in America work to maintain their life. The writer tries to describe that it is
true that white people are hard worker. Two major characters in Material Girls Ava and Tanzie describe white people that are recognized as hard
worker. One of scene showing that Ava and Tanzie are described as hard
working, they still hold on as leader of their company.
Picture 10 Ava and Tanzie are leading the meeting
It can be seen in this picture, Ava and Tanzie are rich people but there are still working to maintain their life. Their actions that still work
although they become rich represent white people. It proves that white
28
people are hard worker, there are still working although they have become rich.
Other one of scene showing their character is when they look for the truth of beauty product case they reported on in a television that product
they can be destroy skin, thought they try questioning to everyone who has tried the product and they are asking through via phone call that their
product have destroyed their face skin
.
They always phones all day long and though have been fatigue they still look for soybean cake to people
who to apply the product.
Picture 11 Ava and Tanzie are looking for data
It can be seen in the above picture that they work hand to get their company.
They character which are a hard-worker also can be saw through their effort to look for evidence required to save their company, They
plunge direct to field to look for evidence without surrendering, they do impersonation to be able to take file in Tommy’s room and even Tenzie go
29
through risk to look for evidence required, until Tanzie enter to prison by security because Tanzie carving a way though of the office.
Tanzie : Yeah, thats right. So, I was wondering if I couId just get a
IittIe Iook-see in that fiIe room.
Information

Information
: No.
Security
: Youre in big trouble.
Material Girls, 01:08:37,480 -- 01:08:39,971 c. Emotional
Beside that Ava is emotional person. The white people have an emotional character overly than the black people. We can get that
information from the dialog below.
Policeman : Tanzania Marchetta. Trespassing and attempted theft,
that’s 20,000 bail.
Ava
: 20,000 What kind of criminal has 20,000? What is wrong with the justice system?
Policeman : it ought to be peanuts for you, missy.
Material Girls, 01:13:44,820 -- 01:13:49,223
From the quotation above between ava and police, we can see that Ava was emotion, when she knows that she must pay the tax her sister
30
about 20,000. The characteristic that was showed by Ava in Material Girls movie described the white people character generally. Ava has
represented the white people generally in Material Girls movie.
d. Materialists
