Skins

I have just watched the first episode of series 4 of the British TV teenage drama skins and I am now going to talk about some of the representation of Cook that is featured.
One of the characters we come across is a 17 year old male, stereotypically pursued as a "Chav". His name is Cook and comes across as a very loud mouthed, arrogant person. The clothes he dresses in play a part in representing his character. For instance he is dressed in a Burberry jacket which usually connotes thoughts of being a Chav. He also has a diamond stud in his ear which also indicates parts of his Chavvy character.
The way he speaks and his attitude towards other people also play a part in representing his character. He is often seen to be bouncing along the screen, suggesting that he has a very bubbly and fun character. The first we see of him is when he hugs Tom, but shortly after, Tom throws Cook off and tells him to go away. This suggests that some other characters find him annoying and don't like his "in your face attitude". The first dialogue we here from him consists of " Tomo, How the f*ck didley are you!". Straight away we get the impression that his character is very full on and doesn't really have high morals. It also suggests that he doesn't really care about what people think of him or about getting in trouble, which later on unravels to become more blatant.
