Chapter 8 talks about the various responses to performance reviews. One of which is adapting. I chose part of the film My Big Fat Greek Wedding to demonstrate (even though it does not contain all the parts I would prefer). The protagonist, Toula, starts off the film as a 30 year old woman always being told by her very traditional father that she needs to get married soon because she is starting to look old. She describes herself as "frump girl". Later on, she meets a handsome guy and decides to turn her life around and get a makeover. The words and constant verbal attack from her father serve as motivation for her to change, or adapt. She modifies her performance by changing her outward appearance (and occupation) since she gets negativity from her father.
