Judy
Love
One thing that is quite evident throughout the movie is that Judy is searching for love. From her being with buzz, to the fights with her day, and even how she said she "loved" Jim after one day, love is one of the clearest things Judy wants.
Loneliness
I believe that Judy feels lonely because she needs to have somebody there for her. She seems to want people with her, giving her attention.
Rebellion
Judy runs away from home a couple time in the movie, which is really impressive seeing as the movie takes place in one day. Because Judy doesn't feel loved by her dad she lashes out and runs away!
"A Rebel WITH a Cause?"
Change through Tragedy
Miss-matched mistakes
Plato's miss-matched socks shows Plato's dysfunction in his life. It shows that Plato, like his socks, don't match with anybody, and he feels like he can't fit in. Also in the movie Jim and Judy were talking about how when they put on miss-matched socks when they get nervous, and this also shows the Plato is nervous about making friends in school.
