Cause and Effect (Week 10)

For this weeks blog, we were asked to write about the cause and effect unit in our books. I decided to write on the reading Barbie Doll by Marge Piercey. This reading was written very interestingly. It was a little dramatic to get the point accross about how women view their looks. It shows a great cause and effect relationship on how the views of womens appearances can affect girls. In this writing the girl had recieved plastic surgery at the cost of her life. In the end she was more "beautiful" but at what cost? It shows just how many people are unhappy with their self immage and how many people do resort to plastic surgery. I personally find it very sad when anyone other than an accident victim would opt for plastic surgery. We are all made differently. I believe we should keep it that way.
