In the world today its not unusual for you to walk outside and see posters, ads in magazines, and commercials with images of what the ideal girl is supposed to look like. Although, most of these ads are meant to be for young women, however they can capture almost any one's attention. They give a false image of an average girls appearance, as far as anyone knows this image could have been fixed to make it look like this was a real persons body. So why is it that every girl when they see a picture like this wants to achieve this look? It is impossible for everyone to make themselves look exactly this way. I think that this image or any image that resembles the perfect body is meant to target the way a person feels about their physical image. Pictures like this can have serious effects on how a person feels about themselves. A person can stop eating, become anorexic, and have serious health problems. So how can a person feel better about themselves if they can't even go less than a mile with out seeing something like this? Maybe advetisers should put up things images that emphasizes the need for people to love the skin they are in like Dove ads do. That would probable motivate people to start treating themselves better and get healthy the right way. Just because images like this are publicized does not mean the world has to be just like them.

A reponse to Anne Lamott's Essay "Shitty First Drafts"

In Anne Lamott's "Shitty First Drafts", she explains how all writers even the best have trouble with their writing. That is why almost all writers go through the three draft process. Like Anne Lamott I believe the first draft is meant to be the draft that you use to brainstorm. Everything and anything that comes to mind is put down on paper, in no particular order and it doesn't make sense to anyone but you. However, that is what the second draft is for, to be able to put the best ideas together and to make the paper as accurately as you possibly can. To finally be able to write the final draft perfectly. Or as Anne Lamott says " the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to make see if its loose or cramped or decayed, or even God help us, healthy". I believe my writing process is quick, sloppy, long and tedious. The first draft I do it quick and sloppy, I'm not really trying to make what I am writing down clear, accurate and to the point. However, as I progress to the second draft it begins to be long and tedious, because I begin to add more and more ideas to the things I already have written down. For the final draft I begin to feel anxious because I know that this is the final paper and no matter what it has to be as perfect as possible. That I have to make sure that every comma, quotation mark, and period are where they belong. Although this process always tends to work, I do not like feeling nervous or anxious, or even scared that I might not be able to finish a paper and have it be perfect. I strongly believe that blogging my writing would be just like me writing it down a piece paper. My writing will improve because I will be practicing more and more on my writing techniques, but in some ways my writing will stay the same because everyone has their own unique way to write and that's something that could never be changed.
