Michelle’s schedule is full, but even with all of her honors classes she finds enough time for multiple clubs. She plays soccer and tennis for her school and is involved in Junior Civitans, science club, Japanese language club, beta club, drama club, and student government. In the little free time she gets, Michelle enjoys coffee ice cream, and her favorite show, Orange is the New Black (team Maritza!)

Despite a lack of examples from America in her article, the threat and actin of rape to control a woman’s behavior is existent on a daily basis in this country.

    “A Few Words About Breasts” by Nora Ephron The essay that was my personal favourite was “A Few Words About Breasts” which was published in the magazine Esquire by Nora Ephron in 1975.

During her childhood and adolescence, women with bigger busts, and more “girly” qualities were considered to be “real women”. This impacted her so much that she did not feel like a female anymore and pretended to be someone who she is not for many years. She faked her periods and cramps, and tried “do it yourself” home remedies which suggested that you can make your breasts grow by various ways such as splashing cold…
