Why does rizzo hate sandy

She needs to see him treat good girl Sandy in the same manner he treated her. And when Sandy and Danny eventually start dating again, Rizzo is bemused with every affectionate and tender gesture between the two. Rizzo might mock the traditional rituals of high school romance, but she wants to feel adored and cherished.

But she will always meet a judgmental gaze head on. Rizzo is not one to back down. It goes against her nature to be patient and wait for life to happen. Boundaries were for testing, but not crossing. She gets a nervous stomach-ache at a sleepover. She passes out at the sight of blood. And for a neurotic, structure can be a balm. Both Rizzo and Sandy are afraid. Anger and fear go together like rama-lama-lama and ka-ding-a da ding-a dong.

Sandy had to stop herself from asking why. Betty was still shaking her head. Sandy twisted her skirt, the way her mother reprimanded her for when she was a little girl. Stop that. Grease spans August to June in a little over an hour and a half.

Teenage girls often have irregular periods for the first few years after menarche, but skipping one altogether at the age of eighteen is a big deal. Either Rizzo had a very convenient miscarriage, or she had an abortion. She would, however, need help. As a teenager, I considered myself anti-abortion, but very pro-woman. If someone I knew wanted to have an abortion, and had asked me for help, would I have helped them?

I think I would have. Girls who object to sex on religious grounds tend to make their concerns known; their faith is important to them. She holds herself and maybe Danny to a high standard, not everyone else. Rizzo is smart, but acts before she thinks. Sandy is less clever, but more thoughtful. Their impossibility as friends makes it even more likely: if the truth got out, who would believe it?

Is she betraying herself? Selling out? Or is it a good thing? Is Sandy claiming her own agency and sexuality?

Is it symbolic of the upcoming paradigm shift, the restrictive Fifties giving way to the libertine Sixties?
