Post your reaction, interpretation and evaluation of this image here. See Chapter 2 in your Writing about Humanities for more details. You talked about this image, but I want you to formalize your words on paper.
After seeing other images of this woman i think that this picture is an exaggeration of what she truly looks like. In this picture her waist, wrist, and ankle looks smaller that it truly is which at the beginning let me to believe it was fake. This image doesn't call my attention at all. Before being introduce to this particular girl,I had already seen images of other girls with small waist. In today's society we shouldn't be surprise by anything. How many times have we not seen twins born with the same brain or sharing the same body?! Or someone with a huge tumor?! so why focus on something that only brings money and attention to a model?
I think that if she was born like this and she is comfortable living in her body then I don't have a problem with any of her physical features. I just want to point out why society doesn't criticize the largest waist and point that out? Just as a person who was born with a certain characteristic that most people don't have does not mean we have to judge their bodies. If she seeks to attract attention or show that she has the best body out there, I am completely fine with that, but society has to choose then if they are willing to imitate her or judge based on what she wishes to do with her life.
It looks physically impossible for her to pose like that if this young woman truly have those dimensions. Her ankles would not support her whole body, the size of her waist would make it impossible to keep her body straight, and her wrists cannot possibly allow her to hold up an umbrella. She undoubtedly have an hour-glass figure but this is absolutely abnormal, not healthy at all. It reflects how society sets the standards of how models should look like to anorexic levels. Being unhealthily skinny is not beauty. This picture mocks the modeling industry on what it turned into. Model's can certainly be made picture-perfect but the price of that is not acceptable.
There was no intention of offending people in the groups you have mentioned. I was just referring to how in the modeling industry most models compete to have the best "look", and apparently, they do so by starving themselves. Correction on what I wrote before, instead of writing "absolutely abnormal", I should have wrote "impossible". People who were born with disfigurement cannot be judged by my statement. These are just my thoughts about this picture.
When I saw this image, the first thing that came to my mind was: is it possible that she could be real? Is she a healthy person? After carefully looking at the picture, I believe that she was born like that since she seems to have strong legs and a full face. Also, her wrist and ankles are really small also. If that is the case, it is hard to judge her since she doesn't have a choice. But her choice is to let people know that she was born this way in order for the young girls to not fall in the unhealthy path of trying to follow her.
I did not realize her waist when I first saw this picture. But after examining it through I thought "omg". I was surprised because I have never seen anyone with that much of a small waist. Then when I looked at the picture more closely I realized that her wrists and ankles are very tiny as well. I guess it shows that there is not one ideal figure to be a model. She was born this way and yet she believed she can still be a model. I dont think this pictures gives off any negative comments to girls, making them think they have to be an "hour glass" or "Barbie". No, girls shouldnt change themselves and just be happy with the way they are.

Before you stated the information about this model my reaction was "what has the world come to?" I had assumed that in order to reach the dream hour glass figure that the model was suffering from anorexia or another disease. I was thinking what message would this send to young girls who look at a model's frame as a goal.
My first reaction when I first saw this image was that it must have been taken from a fashion magazine. I think it's very interesting till I analyzed further more and notice the waist size and the entire purpose of the jaw dropping image. I think this image is trying to exert the idea of how unusual her hour glass shape is and it's emphasizing on how thin her waist, ankles and wrist are. Overall, my evaluation for this image is that it is an excellent idea to help show an audience she is one of almost no one to have the ideal "hour glass" shape and those striving for it may want to reconsider and be content with their own shape and just stay healthy.
My first reaction when i saw this image was nothing at all, before i could actually analyze the image i didn't occur to my mind that the woman was very skinny until i took a deeper look. So for me at first glance of the image it seemed quiet normal. Then i noticed her waistline and figured that isn't healthy at all or it must not be real. When i discovered it was real i thought to myself is perfection look as good as we thought it would. You have all this modern age women attempting to get a barbie like figure in order to be "beautiful" for society. But once a woman has reached the barbie criteria, such as the woman in the picture above, does her figure really look "beautiful" to us? Personally i think not.
