For my paper I am relating my episode to the social rankings of people in society and how it affects our lives.  In my episode of Buffy, a girl turns invisible because she was so  unknown to her peers and ignored that it was like she really was invisible.  I’m looking for topics about social outcasts, high school popularity, social relevancy, and why people do not fit in as well as others.  These are mainly terms that are related to the person who is not being seen by the people around them.  Also, from the other view point can be taken from the people who ignore the others.  Why would you ignore someone who starts a conversation with you?  Why don’t you even give them a chance?  From my perspective I think it is just rude.  People should not be put into social rankings based on what everyone sees in them.  If no one actually talks to then, how would they know how “cool” they are?
