Essay 'Seeing And Making Culture: Representing The Poor'

Dear Reader, While writing this synthesis, I felt like I could really connect to each essay. By finding common characteristics within each essay, it helped me write my paper efficiently. Although writing this was not that enjoyable, I found it easy because each topic was interesting and easy to write about. In my synthesis, I am arguing that the media plays a huge role in each essay, portraying either unfeminist character on TV or showing poor people as happy and having a good self-esteem level. I feel as if my essay has good structure to it, and I support my argument with sufficient detail that helps back up my main point. I would like the readers of my draft to provide me with information concerning my examples and if they are proper and accurate.

Thanks.
