Do you wear make-up? Would you wear the Cover Girl Lash or Volume Exact mascara due to a celebrity like Rihanna is wearing it? Most females, but not all would buy makeup products like the Cover Girl mascara just to test it out to see how it looks. Then there are some females that are big fans of the celebrity and would buy anything that the entertainer is on. I do believe Cover Girl chooses this for their cover to catch the attention of teenage girls and young women. Also, to bring the softness…

“Who said girls want to dress in pink and play with dolls?” (Miller, 2013). Girls aren’t given the option to choose what they want. For instance, girls are pushed into liking pink and playing with Barbie’s because “that’s what girls do”.

“Girl” By Jamaica Kincaid starts off with the girl listening to her mother who’s advising on life and becoming a woman. From the daughter point of view I can see the mom is very harsh, angry and frustrated with her because she believes her daughter is going down the road towards promiscuity and wants to prevent that. The mom is very wise and knows how to clean and cook as well as knowing social decorum, in which she’s trying to instill that in her daughter at an early age. I think her mother…
