Passage 3.
Barbie Dolls and Self Image
There is a noticeable comparison 1) the poemThe MirrorBy Sylvia Plath & the articleBarbiethat appeared in the Newsday Tuesday November 18, 1997. The comparison is about how people look, and how society could reflect how you may feel about your looks.
Calamity is man’s true touchstone.
患难是人的试金石。
In the poemThe Mirror, it tells about a lady who dislikes the way she looks. She thinks of herself as being ugly. In the article,it tells how Mattel (the makers of Barbie) want to change the looks & features of Barbie.
The reason for wanting to change the looks is because the makers of Barbie made Barbie too pretty, compared to normal people. Now being pretty is not a bad thing. 2) for little girls growing up they may feel like they want to look like Barbie. Barbie is very skinny and has a great face. 3) little girls may stop eating or doing other things, so they could look like Barbie. 4) it wont happen, Barbie is a doll. People are real,not Barbie dolls.
