11/7

            In yesterday’s class, each of us presented our essay in front of a group and others gave some critiques in order to sharpen our essay. Usually, we cannot realize own mistakes, so we need other people to check for them. When I presented my essay, which is about beauty pageant, Atsushi pointed out that some women might have anorexia because by looking at the skinny beauty queens, some women will start thinking that they have to lose weight in order to be like beauty queens. I expected this kind of opinion since I started writing my essay, because there are a lot of people such as feminists who are against beauty pageant. This means that my essay should be very convincing one in order to fight back those people’s idea. It will not be easy, but I will give a try to fight back against opinion. It was also interesting to know about the content of different groups’ essays. Since Rab gave us freedom to choose our essay topic, each of them is doing different topic of essay, although many people’s essays are really connected to racial problems. I am looking forward to reading their essay’s too.
