5 Paragraph Essay On The Book Skinny

“I Am Spirit being 1st Human being 2nd Man / Woman 3rd Black /White 4th Christian/ Muslim 5th Fat/ Pretty/Bald 6th ...When I see...I can only see YOU. Why can 't you see me?” -Erykah Badu I believe Louise wanted to be viewed like this her whole life. Sadly the only time she ever noticed that she was “loved” was when she was starving and 150 pounds lighter. The views of Society man and reality standards of beauty have conflicted over a vast period of time, there 's always a certain stigma that sticks with beauty especially when it 's viewed under the social lens. Exploring how reality man and society 's views of physical standard would take a very long time to break down, but here are three reasons on how different our views are by using Andre Dubus’s “The Fat Girl”. Through the view of reality I would like to use Louise’s best friend Carrie, Carrie was a real friend she saw Louise for who she was and not her physical traits she made her feel comfortable with herself and was willing to help her lose weight as oppose of making her feel bad about herself. Society would be classified with Louise’s mother her mother was very hard on her because of how big she was, she always wanted for Louise to be beautiful and the only way her mother would accept her for who she was would be when she lost weight obviously her mother’s definition of beauty was only skin deep. Man would represent Louise, Louise seems confused for most of the story at a young age her mother pretty much

In the short story “The Fat Girl” by Andre Dubis, the main character Louise is followed from the time she is nine years old up until she has her own child. Her mother ruins her self-confidence at a young age saying to her “you must start watching what you eat” (Dubus 320) when she was only nine years old. Her father is just about the only character in the story who accepts Louise for herself. “She’s a growing girl” (Dubus 321) he would say to her mother when she would limit Louise on what she could eat. Louise has dealt with an endless conflict of how other people feels she should look and eat. Louise is being opposed by society.

Family can be difficult. It is sometimes hard for families to get along because we are all different in our own unique way. In fact, Hollywood has been making TV shows and movies using family dysfunctionality for years (i.e. Modern Family, almost every Adam Sandler movie, Game of Thrones). Almost all the time, this TV/movie making strategy works. One show uses this strategy with excellency. In the TV show Rick and Morty, the characters give a new definition to a dysfunctional family by how they treat each other and how they handle their relationships.

Unfortunately our society has developed a bad image of what “beautiful” is about; this image often ignores the real attributes of a real beauty creating the “thin” parasite in our community increasing unhealthy lifestyles raising the question in the “Thin” cult, as “Am I Thin Enough Yet?” This leads me to some questions that I often ask myself. How far would a person go to look “good” just to satisfy the eye of others? Is it really worth living a life chosen by other people instead of controlling our own self esteem and choose what we want for ourselves I don’t think so, that’s insecurity, or a low self steam. In the Book “Am I Thin Enough Yet” by Sharlene Hesse-Biber. Delia often referred to the word pretty as “Pretty to me if that you have to be thin.” That’s because of the influence she received from her mom and father who often used the word beautiful to her and thin relating it as something higher. The thing is, when we are part of something either a religious group, political party or a cult. We get influence by the euphoria without using rationally just to be part of that group. Our intelligence and common sense drops down to zero without thinning about the consequences of our own actions.

Im going to give you my take on the book 46 pages by Scott Liell. This book was first copyrighted in 2003. This book is general consensuses of how Scoot Liell viewed Thomas Paine’s writing of Common Sense and the Turning point to Independence and how they effected the colony’s. He shows us the true meaning of Thomas Paines writings and how valuable they were even after nearly two and a half century’s. This novel is written in a third person person point of view we get a first row seat in the viewing of how Thomas Paines writing of the Common Sense. Liell goes into great detail to show us how substantial Common Sense really was, and how it shaped life into

The puritans would despise the book That was then,This is now because of the law breaking characters. In the novel there is a lot of drug use. “At least some of the kids were smoking grass”. In the story the main characters are at a new hangout and they are unfamiliar with the people there but, but they feel more comfortable because of the drug use. There are also fights in this novel. When the main character Mark gets in a fight he says “A black eye she could take, stitches she could take, smashed ribs she could take, but not all three at the same time.” “My god Bryon you're not gonna let them take me to jail are you.” In the kitchen doorway of Mark's house, the police are there ready to take mark away for dealing drugs. The Puritans would not be happy about this.

                The basic impression that most people have of Puritans "describes them as dour, irascible, self-righteous, hypocritical people who hated sex, joy, and life. They dressed in black, they hated nature, they burned witches, and they repressed all natural desires,". This is the view that influences most people when Puritans appear in literature. We see

Throughout this novel, the focus of family becomes very inattentive and mysterious. One family such as the Finches remained a whole, had each other’s back, but also had disagreements, as normal families would. This was the only common type family that tried to live under correct rules and laws as well as making sure each individual stayed under one household. As for the others, they seemed to be quite different. The Cunninghams were the country, poor family that never complained about a thing. The Ewells were the spoiled and selfish family that never seemed to do what was right. The Harris’s , Dill’s family from Mississippi, seemed to be careless and unprotected. Some of these groups of relatives relate back to the families in S.E Hinton’s book, “The Outsiders.”

Gender roles are society’s concepts of how men and women are expected to act and are shaped by cultural norms. Over the years society has influenced the way we think about gender norms through numerous media outlets; film, television, music videos, internet, etc. To support my argument I will use three class texts. “Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference” by Audre Lorde, “Reading the Slender Body” by Susan Bordo, and “The Problem of Speaking for Others” by Linda Alcoff. Through those readings you will see how society affects our view, how gender roles are socially constructed, and how history shapes what is considered normal or acceptable.

The show did not impact my view on what a family is because we had similar views on how we raised our family to get all they can out of life. We do things that make us happy and make me feel good as a person. I value all the time I have with my girls because I never know what might happen to them or me. I attended church because I know it is the right thing to do and I know God is a key component to everything I do in life.

Imagine being in a “game” as a teenager that would determine if one lived or died. This happened to Katniss Everdeen in the novel “The Hunger Games”. When her little sister was selected to go into the games, Katniss volunteers herself because she does not want her sister to get killed. The Puritans would support the novel “The Hunger Games” due to the hard working characters, law abiding citizens, and the belief in self reliance.

This was my first Scott Sigler book, and I have to say that I am impressed. Because of a small note included in the back of the digital copy asking us readers to not to spoil anything, this review might come out sounding vaguer than I previously intended.

The Puritans they will ban this novel because of the characters wearing different clothing. The Greasers, they wore a black leather jacket with blue jeans and a white shirt. The Socs they wore khaki pants with a flannel shirt. The Greasers didn't have a lot of money so they wore what they could afford. Therefore, the Socs wore formal dress because they had money. The greasers were different clothing from the Socs.

Family values have always been major conversation matter in the United States and it is often huge key points when it comes to decision making by politicians and business. Many people asked the question of how a single person perceives those values. The answer to that is people often judge family values through two sides of the spectrum, one side being how normal other people behaves towards each other, and the second side being how they believe others families behave. Nowadays, people in our society are heavily influence about family values based on what others tell them, and most importantly, based on what they view on television. Some television shows such as Friends or The Cosby Show has become such huge hits in the country because people are curious about how people function as a whole or within their own families. However, the images of family that were portrayed by those TV shows often too perfect compare to the reality. It was not until 1987 when Fox Network decided to bring a dysfunctional family known as The Simpsons, the television has successfully mirrored every type of family in America. Each member of the Simpsons had different qualities and struggles, they are unique in their own way and almost every real life families could relate to them. According a recent TV Guide Poll that was given to the public, most of the people chose The Simpsons as the television family they most likely belong to. Moreover, The Simpsons offer a great psychological analysis in the

Many characters have different views of what family is used for. Although they all agree that family is for loving and caring about each other they also view family in alternate ways. For example Bella views her family as her guardian of Grandma. Bella shows this view throughout the play one time being when she learns that Eddie is going to have to leave. She begs Eddie not to go and to “stay and live” with them because Grandma is “so mean sometimes.” This proves that she
