    This also shows what little confidence she has, again through her doing “Everything Wrong”. In the middle of the novel, she accepted her differences, but didn’t fully embrace them; saying that “Like and equal are not the same thing at all”, (Page 150) as Charles Wallace said the citizens of Camazotz are equal through being the same, meaning that being like someone isn’t the same as being equal to someone.

    “I’m antisocial, they say. I don’t mix. It’s so strange. I’m very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social doesn’t it?..” Clarisse said this as an answer to why she wasn’t in school. They consider her antisocial for wanting to conversate on more than trivial information like the weather and what’s on the walls. Society feels the need to quiet her for having a mind capable of independent thought. The idea of deep thought and feelings scares society and this is very representative of our society…

    Bad Hair Day Analysis

    Any decision that Monica made she was nervous about and needed other people’s thoughts on it. She doesn’t feel comfortable being herself because she believes people will not like her and leave her. Monica tells her friend, “I was up till 2:30 doing my hair poll”.

    The Human Body And Integumentary System

    The human body consists of eleven major organ systems that maintain homeostasis: the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary and lymphatic systems. These organ systems are dependent on each other to keep the human body in homeostasis. For example, the nervous and endocrine systems coordinate functions of other body systems because they allow information to be communicated throughout the body. The nervous system consists of the brain, nerves and spinal cord. It is the fast acting control system because it responds to internal and external changes throughout the body. The integumentary system forms external covering and protects deeper tissue from injury, it includes hair,…

    Personal Narrative: My Left Knee

    I considered the gravitas of my actions only once before deciding to bandage a part of my body. I had wondered if girl I sit next to in Sociology lecture would believe the stories behind my injury. I had wondered if my friends would notice the injury and try to aid me as I walked around the bustling city. I had wondered if they would be annoyed and the constant reference to my injuries. I began to question myself as I wrapped the bright blue bandage around my knee. Around once, then twice, and fastened it securely on the back of my leg. I had spent an hour trying to figure out which body part I should bandage. The wrists were too obvious, my back to hidden, my left ankle too obscured by my new Adidas superstars. So I settled on my knee. My knee could play a central character in thousands of stories that could have caused injury. I began to picture a tumultuous decent down the cement stairs of 55 E 10th street, a catastrophic encounter with a street sign marking the fire line as a no-park zone, an awry Uber making direct contact with my kneecap in the middle of a rainy overcast afternoon. I push those thought away instead focusing on the Yoko Ono’s words. I must only make up the story when someone…

    Analysis of Social Bodies

    English 101 T/Th 10/14/08 Analysis of “Social Bodies” Mrs. Deborah A. Sullivan is a well established author. She teaches at Arizona State University teaching sociology. She is the co-author of Labor Pains: Modern Midwives and Home Birth. She also has written a book of her own; Cosmetic Surgery: The Cutting Edge of Commercial Medicine in America. The piece of writing that I have to Analyze and Critique is a passage out of her book The Cutting Edge. The first sentence of the passage is her thesis. Every culture has customs that prescribe deliberately changing a body’s natural appearance. I believe that Mrs. Deborah A. Sullivan is correct in her beliefs, as well as her findings. Adults have the right to do what they choose to their bodies. Whether that is surgery or a tattoo, we need to respect that they can make decisions for themselves. If they want a full body tattoo then let them have it. They can make their own decisions about their body. Some of society actually tries to set themselves apart from the rest. The punks or the Goths are the most profound of them all. They go out of the way to get every piece of their body pierced or tattooed just to be different. They dress in all black also to be different. I think they were the people who started it all. Nobody liked tattoos until people started to set themselves apart. It was actually looked down upon until the 1980’s. My beliefs are the same as Mrs. Deborah Sullivan’s. I think people get tattoos and piercings just to fit in or actually to set themselves apart. But competent adults can make their own decisions about what they want their body to look like and there is nothing we can do about it but respect their decisions. I believe that her article is true in all aspects. All in all, my beliefs are the same as Mrs.…

    Female Body Image Analysis

    During the 19th century, the skin needed to be perfect as well. Facial blemishes were believed to be cured by marriage by some because it “indicated a life that was out of balance” (body proj 62) and was an indication of masturbation or uncleanliness. Acne was everyone's disease and was seen in different races and classes of individuals. The body project also extends to women who view the ideal self in body modifications such as tattoos and piercings. Courtney is no stranger to tattoos and piercings and neither is Alex. At the age of 13, she received her first piercing while she would receive her first tattoo at 18 years of age. Now 25, she has five tattoos, 15 piercings and gauged ears. Courtney has been interested with body modifications since she was very young. While each tattoo has it's own story which has helped her through a time in her life, she likes to think of them “as a scrapbook of who I am, who I can be, and who I’ve been.” She also believes that “society still has hang-ups on a woman taking control of her body in such a permanent way, as if a woman is incapable of making drastic, permanent decisions”adding that sometimes “men have unfairly assumed I’m “slutty” because I have visible tattoos and piercings, because “nice girls don’t wear their rebellious behavior on their sleeve.” Alex also believes that society views women…

    Conformity

    In today’s society, the ongoing need for girls to conform to their peers is more important than ever. In the poem, Barbie Doll a girl is made fun of by the people around her because of her “great big nose and fat legs” (Piercy). Her peers only saw what she was on the outside and nothing for who she was on the inside despite her efforts to change it, “exercise, diet, smile and wheedle. Her good nature wore out like a fan belt. So she cut off her nose and legs and offered them up.” (Piercy).With strong efforts to conform to societies norm she ended up killing herself to end the criticism and cruel judgment. The girl in the story is not the only one who found suicide an escape from the ridicule of society.…
