Response To Gail Levine's 'Fairest'

Improved Essays
In the book Fairest by Gail Levine one viewpoint conveyed a concern about how people judge people based on how they look. By a way of example, Aza, the adopted daughter of innkeepers in Ayortha, has always hated her appearance. Her body size and her odd coloring – milk-white skin, dragon tongue lips, and hair that seems to be frying-pan black. The text states “I was an unsightly child” (p.3). I chose this piece of text evidence because it backs up my topic sentence by revealing to the reader that the character hates her outer appearance and constantly points out her flaws. In addition, the authors also stated “I developed the habit of holding my hand in front of my face when guests arrived, a foolish practice, because it raised curiosity

    Looks aren’t everything People judge others by the way they look rather than their type of personality. A person may completely look normal but might have some flaws that make them different. You wouldn’t know that just by looking at them, you would have to get to know the person to figure out what they are like. Even if we see someone sketchy walking in an ally in the middle of the night, we assume that they are a bad person, because they’re in an alley in the middle of the night doing who knows what, but in reality it’s just a person trying to get home. Looks shouldn’t define who a person is; their personality should define who they are.…

    Beauty matters. Well, at least for some. From the clothes you choose to wear (and the ones you don’t) to the items you own, everything surrounding you changes how people perceive you, even things completely out of someone’s control. Pressures to adhere to societal norms can cause long-term harm for certain people, but others can take this concept in stride. Due to different upbringings, along with different environmental influences, it allows for a range of perspectives.…

    Even though we live in a world that always changes and advances, the media continues glorifying Eurocentric standards and ideals unto us in our everyday lives. Although the media is beginning to be more culturally and racially diverse, physical features and characteristics remain the same. Fair skin, light eyes, straight hair, thin bodies and thin noses are mostly seen in media, even though it’s “racially diverse”. Children growing up in this culture are learning that Eurocentric ideals are preferred and seen as more “beautiful”. People of darker skin are seen as lesser than and are pressured to follow these ideals.…

    I have always been taught to judge people based on their actions rather than their appearance, and this was a lesson that was completely reinforced by the house I lived in, in which I grew up. As kids, if any of us even remotely suggested that we were focused on someone 's looks, we were immediately punished and reminded that there is no way to know a person based on what he or she looked like, but rather it is important to know the heart inside the body. Making snap judgments based on appearance was definitely not acceptable in our household. This was difficult for kids, since young people often judge people based on first impressions, which generally involve their physical appearance. Nevertheless, as an adult, it became as clear as day to…

    When entering junior high, we were constantly reminded by teachers, parents, and school administrators how different it was from elementary school. It was supposed to be the start of a transition from childhood to young adulthood, and though I discounted many of these sentiments at the time, looking back it certainly was. In an instant, it seemed, everyone started swearing and the hallways began to smell of a putrid mixture of not enough or too much cologne. For the first time we had to change before gym, no one really sure whether it was more socially acceptable to change in a bathroom stall or feign confidence by doing it out in the open. Talk swirled of who got their periods, who was wearing what bra size, and which boys needed to stop cultivating…
