HW 23: With apologies to Virginia Woolfe

Lately, I’ve been reading blogs online. It seems to be that everything is revolved around things that are not so important. I’ve been reading the Jezebel website. On this site is a bunch of “gossip.” One blog on this page I chose to look at was the one labeled, “Making Billions From Bad Sausage: The History of Botox.” The picture shows a magazine called In Touch Weekly.” On the front page there is a picture of a beautiful woman. The caption show below says “BOTOX AT 23.” What a vision of loneliness! (pg 62) This woman is trying to make her self feel better by fixing her natural beauties. Woman should be accepted just the way they are. They shouldn’t feel the need to better themselves just so everyone else can think they’re beautiful. Women should be proud of who they are, and not care about what others have to say.
