Ashley Graham Thesis Statement

While Barbie is known for giving off a bad message for children's body image, however she also has a very empowering massage. Many grownups believe that barbie has unrealistic body standards for young girls to look up to. Yet, many 6 to 10 year olds are not worrying about their body at this time of their life. Barbie was created in 1959, based off of Ruth Handler’s daughter’s fascination with an older doll. Her daughter wanted a teenage or grown up doll(“History”). Barbie was created by Ruth to show that a woman can do any job or any profession. "My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact a woman has choices."(“History”). In the 60’s and 90’s this was big because of all the women equality movements going on in America. Barbie also helps girls imagination. In a video recently released on Barbie’s website, it shows how Barbie can help a girl's imagination. In the video multiple young girls are seen doing grownup jobs. In the end it shows a little girl acting out the same jobs with her barbie dolls(“Imagine”). This shows that Barbie can help a girl imagine she can do anything just like the Barbie catch phrase, “Be who you want to be”. Barbie also has diversity. Christe, Barbie’s African American Best friend, was created to help make Barbie more diverse(Sherrow). There are even Latino Barbies

The thought of having a voluptuous figure is probably a figure that every girl wants to have. With Barbie having blonde hair, blue eyes and a curvy body, many assumptions have been made because of the way she looks. These assumptions are easily portrayed in Mondo Barbie by Lucinda Ebersole and Richard Peabody, Forever Barbie by M.G Lord, “Legally Blonde” (2001), Barbie: Mermaidia (2006), “Barbie-Doll, Icon or Sexist Symbol”, and the Wikipedia article: Barbie. All in all, assumptions shouldn 't be made just because they’re really pretty.

I always thought Barbie was so cool; [as] I got older, I learned that it's impossible to be Barbie. She's been everywhere, [even] in outer space. She's the perfect blonde. She has the perfect blue eyes. She's like everything! If she was a real person she wouldn't be able to walk.” (Tara Kuther)

Emily Prager, in Our Barbies, Ourselves, stated that Barbies have influenced little girls around the world on what the perfect body looks like, when in reality there is no “perfect” body. Our Barbies, Ourselves states “here are millions of women who are

Ashley took a long time to open up to people. Some people may think, why is it so hard for her to open up to others? All you had to do is start up a conversation. Why does she shut herself out of the real world? The reason why Ashley had such a hard time opening up to others was because she was abused. Her foster parents put it into her mind that she shouldn’t speak about what she was going through or else she would be punished. One time the Moss’s had some inspectors come by the house. She told the kids to put on a show to make it look like a great foster home, “ Surely Mrs. Moss would punish me if she thought I was ruining her little show” (Rhodes-Courter 92). Mrs. Moss chose to have the children sing, You are my Sunshine after she heard Ashley sing it to one of the younger kids to cheer her up. By doing so, she struck a chord in Ashley because that song was Ashley’s mother and her song. That song was the song that tied happiness to her relationship with her mother. That moment symbolized the loss of hope Ashley had to be taken out of the foster home. Another reason some people may not agree that Ashley Rhodes-Courter is successful is because, after living with her adoptive family for a few months, Ashley drugged her parents. No kid should drug their parents, it’s wrong. Even if the child is mad or finds it amusing they shouldn’t do it, because it’s not ethical. The reason why Ashley had the audacity to drug her parents was because she was peer pressured into doing so. She was friends with a girl named, Brooke. Brooke wasn’t a great influence on Ashley, Brooke was that child that liked to do the wrong things. She once had Ashley wait 30 minutes after a movie was finished so she could make out with her boyfriend, “When I dragged Brooke outside, Gay- who had been waiting for more than a half hour- was seething” (Rhodes-Courter 242). Brooke wanted to hang out with her boyfriend, but her

Ashley is now a retired WMX rider. She cant stay away from motorcycles though, she was a stunt rider for a Marvel Universe live show in 2014. What Ashley did for the deaf is just amazing. If me myself were deaf, it would make me think I could do anything the hearing can do. Even if she is at a disadvantage not knowing when to shift by sound she adapted to her bike and developed a huge skill, being able to tell when to shift by vibrations. I think in the end that is what made her an even more special

Many issues can come around this logic. One of the main

However, despite the new perspective she’s obtained and the time that’s passed, she doesn’t feel like she has undergone any extreme changes since she was a kid. As she puts it, she has simply become “more”—more confident, more independent, more experienced. And with this “more”-ness, she shares with me some advice she feels would have helped her: “Stop worrying about what the media wants you to look like or be like because that doesn’t matter. As long as you feel good about yourself, that’s all that matters… Just be you and love you and not worry about anything else.” Thanking her for both her time and this advice, I decided that whether I have to fit in or stand out, I will do my best to be myself. Because Emily Wilson is right: that is all that truly
