What is your thesis? How did this particular argument come about?

Living up to the expectation of society and others to be "perfect" is an empty way today's youth is brought up in which, it can lead to body image issues that can morally blind them from what is truley beautiful within themselves.

My thesis was pretty much based on what society defines as "perfect" by influencing the youth to care so much about how other people look at them, it disorts the image of themselves. I stumbled upon this topic while I was in Publix and I was flipping through a magazine and pretty much noticed that almost every singe model/ actress (celebrity)'s main topic was the way they looked. I thought that this is not the way young women and girls should be looking at themselves ya know?

 

__Who's your audience and what techniques do you use to make your writing speak to their concerns and interests__?

My audience is like I said in my writing; young women. I used examples of different celebrities and also claimed I have personal experiences with body image. I'm sure every single girl who reads this can relate to the fact that they should look "perfect" and about 99% of us were at one point (and still maybe currently) uncomfortable in our own skin.

 

Upon reviewing your completed composition (and process), what aspect of your work (or it's process) most surprised you?

Upon revision, I was shocked on how high and fast the rate for eating disorders has gone up. It just goes to show you that we are so concerned about what others think, most of us don't even know ourselves.

 

Did you learn anything new while growing your composition? Explain.

The only thing I learned was pretty much just factual. However, all the input about knowing ourselves, and living up to others peoples perceptions is not how we should raise our young children and celebrite youth was all my insight. I really feel strongly about this (obviously).

 

When you use secondary sources, do those sources contribute to ethos, logos, or pathos appeals?

I feel my secondary sources appeal to all of ethos, logos, and pathos. Its pretty much self-explanitory.

 

When considering peer feedback as you revised your rough draft, which advice/suggestion/question/criticism/edit was most useful/helpful?

When others commented on how my writing is an important message, I feel that is very helpful. Also, i appreciate the note of using my personal experiences as a nice touch also encourage me to put more input about myself into my writings

 

On your final version, where would you like to see the most feedback and attention from graders?

Like I just said, the core of my message on being "perfect" leading to eating disorders and my own personal experiences.
