The measures models go to...

You may have heard of the new show, hosted by Jessica Simpson, The Price of Beauty. In the show Jessica and two friends travel the world to various countries to see what their culture's idea of beauty truly is. This past summer I was mindlessly flipping through channels and suddenly stopped on Mtv. The Price of Beauty was on and it was the episode where they visited Paris, France.
As know, Paris is pretty much the fashion central of the world. So while there, they visited some top fashion shows and talked to one specific model, Isabelle Caro. Caro is a former model and suffering with probably the most severe case of anorexia I have ever seen. In the interview Caro explained that a designer told her she had to lose 22 pounds if she ever wanted to model. Isabelle Caro now weighs only about sixty-two pounds. There aren't that many things that really bother me, but this is definately one of them. I don't think you should have to be super skinny to be a model. Ribs, shoulder blades, and a spine sticking out of your body is not attractive... Or healthy. A few years ago, Caro was in a coma and was expected to die. Although she has started eating more now, she is still at an unhealthy weight.
It is unbelievable to think about how many young girls have been torn down and forced to lose weight by the modeling industry. Not only do they develop awful eating habits, but also self esteem issues because they're constantly reminded they're not skinny enough. Girls are constantly battling with low self esteem, anorexia, and bulimia because they think they have to be tiny to be pretty. I don't think the modeling industry realizes what their harsh weight qualifications are really causing..

"I, Too, Sing America" Introductary Paragraph.

In the poem "I, Too, Sing America" by Langston Hughes, the man's optimistic determination is showed by how he is treated so badly because of his color but he believes in his country and knows things will get better. Although many do not treat him as an equal, it doesn't reflect on his attitude. In the line, "They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes, but I laugh and eat well." It shows how he knows they are wrong and will soon realize it when things do change for the better.
