Survival of the Prettiest
Science Of Beauty

Nancy Etcoff


5*Comment:
1- The ending was a closed conclusion, the ancient ideas about beauty is non-stop. Here Etcoff re-explains the meaning of beauty and so so. She also reacts to her own opinions, in her arugement that there is beauty above and beyond to what usual exists today. There are also laws that have passed which enforces to use some of the clothing that are not comfort for others to see. To her telling people not to take pleasure in their beauty is like havign them not to enjoy food, novelty or love. It's seems that to her (AND ME) beauty and fashion is a big deal in her life. hough not everyone can be satifised at the same time, having the exact beauty on their apperance, there's always the beauty within that also counts.
2- Most of the time people also just signals or emit (a vocab word in class) themselves that they are either not interest or avaiable. The use of the body language is a big type of beauty that humans and other living things bring out to show their personality. There are some times, when the other opponent invited themselves into the bubble of the person who want to left alone. It's an way to attract the opposite sex but at the same time it's a way to concentrate on the attention set by the person who's intruding.
3-Voice is also a big thing! ( which i think so too cause.....ehh). When you see the most beautiful person ever, but once they open their mouth, the voice just doomed your ears. OF COURSE, you can not say no, that it was a bit of a turn off. I mean not everyone have this type of situation but it's not impossible. To have soemthing voice be so disturbing is not a very attractive thing. That's why voice and posture and what you say can be clarafied into the beauty section.
2- So cultivating beauty takes time, money and some time drain all your emotions out, when you're so frustrated on how your hair doesn't look like the way you want it or your outfit doesn't fit with your body or just plain unsatisfied with somehting on your body. It happens often and i'm sure everyone has gone in that phase. I mean I have a bunch!( i will go through it later wehn i dress up to leave for work xD ). Anyhow women look after themselves too much that they start to recosider their apperance to others and this is when beauty goes bad.
1-It's a total that many women in all ages want to by pass as a "teenager" and wants to be sexually attractive to men. Everyone worships the youthful look. Everyone will continue to reveal the way to have the youthful looks even though many know it's inevietable to look as a teenager when you're like 50? I mean it's not a bad thing but people should just reconsider it themselves and accept it. ( I might sound like a hipicrite that it might happen to me, but I'm sure I would go crazy over it. As long as i'm happy there's no need to compete with the youngs ones.)



** Closing of the book was very good!! "We cannot wait for beauty, we must bring it forth!!" --Pg245.


4*Questions (LAST 4 QUESTIONS!!) :
4- How do people try to get younger? Dress like them? Put on makeup.. it's not much of a difference will it?
3-Is Voice a gene that is passed on by the parents also? I mean I never heard someone with a REALLY REALLY bad voice but I know it's out there somewhere.
2-Even if we do wait for beauty....isn't it possible to accept the fact that the baeuty could come within yourself and not the apperance...you know?
1-I'm running out of questions... Uhmmm What are some of the thigns humans do to show that they are interested or like to be social?


3*Vocabulary:
3-Postmenopausal: having undergone menopause.
2-Cultivating: to prepare and work on (land) in order to raise crops; till.
1-Vomeronasal: of or relating to the vomer andthe nasal region and especially to the vomeronasal organ or the vomeronasal cartilage

2*Literary Term :

2-Allusion : I refered the voice thing back to an old book my class read last year, Of Mice and Men which a character, Curley and his wife who is antoishingly pretty but with the ugliest voice ever. This is an example that I remembered and thought oh! it was just like that.. the ending.. she died. Sad but hey, she wanted to attact all the men on the ranch even though she was married.

2-Donuement: The losing of the book, to not let beauty pas right by you and in the world we stop this and just won't wait for it but rather make it come to us.


1*Overview Setence:
1- The conclusion of voice, beauty, and posture. It's all part of beauty and the process of humans trying to horn it. It's hard to sharpen ourselves but it'll be okay to take some time. The book ended with a sense of it can happen and possibility that beauty can coem forward to people like us.



THE END! :D
