Ms. Hilton, 26, wearing no makeup and with her hair disheveled, sobbed and screamed, “Mom, this isn’t right,” as she was taken from the packed courtroom by deputies.
This is from the New York Times on Saturday, and "this" is what I'm interested in. And by "this" I mean, quite literally, "this."
Just exactly what is Paris referring to when she uses the pronoun "this"? It could refer back to many things.
I'm going to a stab at what Paris Hilton really meant by "this" by replacing the pronoun with what she could have been talking about in this quote.
1. "Mom, being famous for really doing nothing and having no talent isn't right."
2. "Mom, never having to work a day in my life isn't right."
3. "Mom, that cloying look I give the paparozzi when they take my picture isn't right."
4. "Mom, the media pay more attention to me than they do the War in Iraq and it isn't right."
5. "Mom, I'm a household name because I made a porn video and it isn't right."
