In order to be a successful and memorable writer, the writer needs to create a connection with not only their own words, but more importantly, their genre, audience, and the purpose of their writing. Three writers who exceed in doing all three of there things are; Billy Collins, in his Commencement Address at Colorado College, Martin Luther King Jr., in his Letter from Birmingham Jail, and Gloria Anzaldua, in her “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”.

n conclusion within literature and other forms of art, writers and artistic minds alike use devices to convey emotion. Although different every author had their own reason for writing and crating their art. I have touched upon a lot of examples above in hope that we all can understand and become better audience members.

se is to let a group of people who wouldn’t normally understand Chicano Spanish speakers to take a glance into their world

The genre of this piece of literature would have to be Culture.

I think this perfectly encapsulates her intended audience

audience member would have to be Anglo people as she wants them to understand her struggles

audience would have to be undoubtedly Chicano Spanish speakers.

With all addresses the speaker is try to bestow some of their knowable upon a younger more impressionable audience. The general idea being that if they can know what has plagued the speaker in his life maybe they’ll have a better chance of avoiding it. Thus Collin’s reason for making this is because he doesn’t want other people to struggle with what he had to go threw.

Going off of my previous definition genre the main point or theme of his address is time.

The letter was made in response to a opposing open letter “A call for Unity” written by eight local white clergymen

Black-oriented television shows may serve a protective function; Hispanic and Black girls and women who watch more Black-oriented television have higher body satisfaction.

The effect of media on women’s body dissatisfaction, thin ideal internalization, and disordered eating appears to be stronger among young adults than children and adolescents

“According to the Center for Disease Control, the BMI of the average American women has steadily increased over the past half a century, from 24.9 in 1960 to 26.5 in the present day. In a similar vein, Rehabs.com found that the difference between models’ weights and the weight of the average American woman has grown from 8 percent in 1975 to over 23 percent today. The bottom line? There’s more of a noticeable gap between the bodies of idealized women and everyday people” (Bahadur).

“The new French law also states that any images where models have been digitally altered to appear either larger or smaller must be marked as a “retouched photograph.” Failure to include the phrase will result in fines ranging from about $40,000 to as much as 30 percent of the cost of the advertising budget. The retouched photograph law is set to go into effect by Jan. 1, 2017, but for now, there is no such timeline in place for the implementation of the law regarding the BMIs of the models themselves. Before that can happen, France’s National Assembly needs to vote on numerous updates to the country’s public health code, after which they can hammer out the exact terms and conditions of the law, and how to enforce it” (Millers).

The fashion industry plays a huge role in the negative body image dilemma

“Another popular concern has been with social media as a resource used by people to present themselves, leading to the question of how this online persona reflects or differs from their online persona. Other themes are the number of friends or followers that seem appropriate to each platform, and how this re ects the judgements people make about others” (Miller)

edited to perfection

Social media has also become a toxic mirror.

Emphasizing number 6 because we are so negatively influenced by the media to be at a standard that is unrealistic and unhealthy

“Seven Ways To Overcome Negative Body Image 1)      Fight “Fatism” 2)      Fight the Diet Downfall 3)      Accept Genetics 4)      Understand that Emotions are Skin Deep 5)      Question Messages Portrayed in the Media 6)      Recognize the Influence of Body Misperception 7)      Befriend Your Body …Changing our world starts with you” (Hawkins).

“Over 80% of Americans watch television daily.  On average, these people watch over three hours per day. American children engage in increasing amounts of media use, a trend fueled largely by the growing availability of internet access through phones and laptops.  On a typical day, 8 – 18-year-olds are engaged with some form of media about 7.5 hours” (

For example, one study found that 63% of female participants identified weight as the key factor in determining how they felt about themselves – more important than family, school, or career. Other research suggests that 86% of all women are dissatisfied with their bodies and want to lose weight” (Hawkins).

How you

While the self-representation of our bodies is a key element in our belief that we are autonomous individuals with a “first-person perspective,” the term body image covers and has covered a variety of meanings. In neurology, this term currently designates the verbal representation of the body parts. Psychoanalysis considers body image as intertwining the imaginary and symbolic aspects of identity, and insists on its dependence on the Other’s regard;.

the idea of body image has been changing through research

in order for this to end we have to create a healthy, positive, and standardless image for ourselves, our children and generations to come.

For the last part of my research I interviewed Diane Correia someone who has extrasensory perception and uses her ability to give readings to others

“But really in my case I found that it was a process of being able to pay attention to my body and I always say that the sixth sense kind of uses the other 5 senses to communicate. So in my case when I’d go throughout my day-day life, I might have a vision or hear the name Elaine or get, you know, a physical sensation that corresponds how someone passed and so I would find that as I refine this process and paid attention to what I was going through and delivered it that people started validating what I was doing and said you that makes sense.” (Henry)

Satwant K. Paricha provides evidence of misdiagnosis in “Relevance of para-psychology in psychiatric practice.” Pasricha provides data analysis of surveys given to the general population that shows between 10%-15% of people experience paranormal encounters. How many of these people are misdiagnosed with mental disorders? “just as the diagnosis of a major depressive episode would not be given when depressive symptoms result from normal, uncomplicated bereavement, so too paranormal experiences and their effects should not be viewed as evidence of a mental disorder, but rather as a normal reactions to stress.”
