Beauty

Part A:

It relates to human beauty by showing that many things go into being a woman and how we represent ourselves. And no mater how we are portrayed we will still be a strong and united species . 

One of her works called " suspended playtime", is one that functions formally by just being created out of everyday mediums and still created with a message. At first one would think this is ugly because it's just made out of garbage and recycled things, but  It is a beautiful piece because it signifies the common language that all cultures share that shows we celebrate many of the same things , in this case as football.

Part B:

The one thing I absolutely hated about this picture was how dark I thought I was. My cousins were all light with nice hair, my sister had good hair, and there I was the little dark skin one with nappy hair tagging along. I know for a fact that the happiness in this picture was forced because when I was this age I was very unhappy being the youngest and being picked on.

I know now that me as a person has changed and emotionally grown a lot. now when I look at this picture I don't see the skin that's darker than everyone around me, I see a little girl who's still growing.

Change .

Question 1:
I tried to think of something about me that I wanted people to know about me , but I'm pretty much an open book, but some would never know because of my quiet exterior. That's not because I am a mean person, it's really because I am a little shy, but once i come out of it I really am a fun person. There are many things about me that people don't know, I like to joke around and go out and I loveeee to debate, when there's something I'm interested in, I gather all of my knowledge on it and learn more and will talk about it for hours. Another thing I'd like people to know about me is I love to talk and help people. When I get older id love to get into the human services field and help people get to where'd they like to be in their lives.
Question 2:
If there was ever something I'd like to bear witness too, it would be the action of getting the homeless and jobless off of the streets. When I take the train it drives me crazy and breaks my heart to see the people begging and living inside of a train station. I'd love to see the time where people become more important than animals again because i believe that's where we are in the world right now. I've seen a group of people instead of saving a homeless man and putting him in a shelter, they rush to a limping cat and hurry him to safety. This is another thing that I would like to do as an adult and even now, help change the world.
