Novel - fiction

Set hundreds of years in the future, this story focuses on societies idea of beauty and how people can be influenced by what other people tell them is correct and beautiful.

Something that really shined through Scott Westerfeld’s writing is that even though you might not look perfect and you have “flaws” that is just part of who you are and even though you can change some things about yourself through makeup or surgeries you shouldn’t be afraid to just accept who you are. This is a very important message that I believe needs to be taught to more young people as having low self-esteem is at an all-time high.

The way the landscape and city is described in the story is excellent, you are able to

    The bullies constant torturing and opinions of her looks convinced her that her somewhat pleasant opinions of herself were not true. “They pointed openly and laughed, calling out loudly enough for me to hear, “What on earth is that? That is the ugliest girl I have ever seen….I thought to myself the world of love wanted nothing to do with me.” (Grealy, 124).…

    Throughout history some, but not all women have placed an emphasis on physical beauty over all other forms of attractiveness, but this emphasis on physical beauty can cloud judgement and force an individual to perceive something as the complete opposite of what it truly is. A good example of this reasoning is illustrated in Joyce Carol Oates short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” which illustrates how the main character, Connie tries to create an adult persona using her attitude and appearance to attract boys. Oates opens this work by introducing Connie as a girl who is trying to discover herself as a woman and she believes that the only way she can do this is by being constantly concerned with her looks. For example, the…

    1) What did you already know that was a part of the readings? While reading Arron Beck’s Prisoners of Hate (1999), I encountered a great deal of information that I have previously learned. For example, Beck stated that people frequently frame outgroups unfavorably, whether if that means to engage in prejudice, stereotypes, or intolerance towards the other. He further enforces this point by noting the contrasts in the ways people treat others based on if they are perceived as the other or similar to themselves—these contrasts are especially apparent when a person is in a state of vulnerability. Beck also references evolutionary theory sporadically throughout the book to provide insight into how these odd behaviors and beliefs regarding outgroups have been used as survival mechanisms.…

    Beauty is defined by the powerful members of a society. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, neo-colonialism’s image of beauty entailed westernized features such as thin lips, fine, straight hair, small features and white skin; the paler the skin, the more prestigious. Pale skin often symbolized wealth and status; even Caucasians powdered their skin to look whiter. High society folks did not work outside in the fields, as common laborers did. Their skin was not scourged by the sun.…

    You look in the mirror every morning and yet it still strikes you as surprising. You feel like it should be easy to love yourself, there’s nothing inherently wrong with you… is there? You inspect up from your waist, across subtly defined abs, reaching developed pectorals and out to either shoulder to track down bicep, forearm and finally you reach your hands. When you finish flourishing your digits you find your neck, chin, and begin the journey across your face. Your cheekbones are sharp and risen, defining the landscape of your face with assistance from the caterpillar brows mostly hidden behind matted brown hair.…

    The concept of beauty has been a baffling issue and a bone of contention among thinkers and intellectuals. Such confusion can plausibly be understood through the changeable standards considered in every culture and the many attempts to approach it. Throughout history, it has been glorified and highlighted in many ways. From a philosophical perspective, Kant, in Observation on the Feeling of Beautiful and Sublime , tackles beauty, through the view that women are identified by their beauty, while men first are viewed with respect to their intellect. His ideal beauty is a woman who has a paralytic mind as he believes that a “woman who has a head full of Greek . . .…

    According to the online dictionary of Merriam Webster, vanity is described as: “The Quality of people who have too much pride in their own appearance, abilities, achievements (…) The Quality of being vain” and “Something (such a belief or a way of behaving) which shows that you have too much pride in yourself, your social status, etc.” In my opinion, these descriptions fit the corrupted Dorian Gray perfectly. Dorian was a pure, innocent boy, until he was corrupted by Lord Henry, which made him aware of the power of his own youth and beauty.…

    In this era, it seems like all people do is care about looks, especially with the rise in popularity ofsocial media and posting something or tweeting something every living second. My generation has become self-centered, egotistical, stuck-up, and vain and it needs to stop. We have this set image in our mind that the media has embedded in our minds of how we should look.
