       WOW!! So after reading the article I had to do some research on this.. It really blew my mind that girls are thinking this way. Before I had my little girl I was small but it was from working out and eating healthy. That was something my husband and I enjoined doing together. Now I'm about 20 pounds heavier after having Ash and I get more complements about how good I look now than before when I was super thin. I think some women have what they are supposed to look like twisted. There is a difference between being thin health and this Thinspo thing!! At first watching these videos I didn’t know if it was just a joke or if they were making fun of these girls. I mean with the music and some of the sayings that go with them it was hard for me to tell if they were serious or not! I had to watch many of them before I came to my conclusion on them. It really just blows my mind. Every man I have ever talked to seems to want something REAL not these tiny models. Curves are what’s attractive not BONES! I know this is totally my opinion, but my big thing is being health doesn’t matter your size really. Everyone is built differently and no two people are alike. Being healthy and feeling good is all that matters to me not what the scale says or the size of my pants!

     I feel as though when it comes to topics like this we need to be realistic. As in are these issues something just for adults or do these kids see or live these topics every day. I think we should maybe do like they have with movies. I am totally opposed to trying to shut children out and act like bad things or whatever it maybe don’t happen. We need to prepare them as much as possible so if ever a situation may arise they have any idea of what it is and how to handle things. I don’t think books should be banned to say but maybe an age limit on them. Say the books about drugs and death. That is something that happens unfortunately to are youth every day. So why ban something that may could help or make them think twice even before making a mistake that may coast their lives. How about these love novel most teen girls are wrapped up in the thought of love. Letting them read some love stores that may seem realistic could be help to them. I feel like many of these stories that people think are not acceptable could teach them something. I feel as though people would rather keep the young in the dark then to let them see the real world.

       For my literary analyses paper I am going to use Ernest Hemingway’s story “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber”. In this story Hemingway’s “hero code” is very clear. I feel that there I plenty of information and examples to show that way he writes about his characters. He made them both very different. The way he made Robert Wilson in the story a very bold man with no weaknesses that was afraid of nothing, and then made the Francis Macomber less manly more fearful. Francis also had a wife that did not bow down to him, she was strong wiled. I feel that I will be able to find plenty of sources on this topic too. Also, a reason I choose this story is for me this is the only story I completely understood. Some of the other stories dialect was too much for me to fully fallow. I wouldn’t understand and would have to reread several times. This short story by Hemingway was differently one of my favorites and caught my interest. I don't read much and it is hard for me to find things that I am interested so this story had a lot of pluses to it!
