“The Diverse Definition of ‘Normal’: A Reflection on Personal Experience and Social Construct Acceptance” “The Multifaceted Meaning of Beauty”

Normal (adjective)- To be comfortable with what takes place in one’s own life, daily.
I believe the abstract term, normal, is very diverse. In other words, there is no one, technical definition and this is simply because what one person may consider “the usual” in their everyday lives, the next individual may consider completely opposite. Above, I have composed a simple yet direct definition of what I believe is the meaning of “normal” based on personal experience. I have a huge family, 9+ uncles and aunts, 30+ first cousins, 15+ second cousins, etc. Therefore, big families are considered normal or at least I thought so. My associate who has one aunt and one sibling, always wonders how I put up with all the family antics and it is then I noticed normality varies.
Some may argue that my definition is completely biased due to what society has “normalized” via social media, entertainment and social construct acceptance. For example, seeing young woman dressed in such revealing manners throughout the duration of their pregnancies has become normal in today’s world. However, my grandmother who was born in the late 1940’s highly disagrees, she considers the “normal” manner of a pregnant woman is to keep your body hidden as it will protect the spirit of baby and block any negative spirits. None the less, celebrity musician- Rihanna- flaunted her pregnant belly fearlessly through dozens of digital photos and in doing so, the past two years have been filled with viral social media photos of women fearlessly announcing their pregnancies- showing off their sacred belly to millions of people. If Rihanna can do it, every other woman can too? It displays the social acceptance meter- its only normal because a celebrity did it but is it ethical? Is it self-respectful? Well, it depends on who you ask. Just as the dictionary definition states, “conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.” In order to conform, one must do somethingNormal (adjective)- To be comfortable with what takes place in one’s own life, daily.

Beauty: The first thing that comes to My Mind is looks, how a person looks. Beauty to me means, being beautiful inside and out for a person, shouldnt matter about looks, A person can be beautiful by their personality, skin tone, and Unique Features. I feel that Everyone should feel beautiful, Beauty doesn’t only represent a person, but also an Object, like maybe a specific Art piece, or an Place, Like visiting Africa, it would be nice to see the beauty of the pyramids, or going to see the largest river which is the Nile River. so beauty can mean alot of things.
Counterargument: Alot of people assume, Beauty is commonly described as a feature of objects that makes them pleasurable to perceive.
Refutation: Beauty is all around us and can be a person, place, or thing/Object. -

“Alias Grace: Unpacking Society’s Construction of Villains and Victims through a Gendered Lens and the Lens of Michel Foucault”

technology (e.g., a novel, film, TV episode/series, advertisements, art work, and/or on-line

contextualize your claim, make an argument about how that text represents the relationship
between science and society in a complex way and intervene in a scholory converstaion about an aspect of this text in a new and suprising way. My main focal text is Alias Grace the book. I want to somehow discuss how the world looks at people as eithr
surviors and victims or villians grace is none she is an example of how social structure creates viallans and vitcams and how the book someone makes us see all the men in her life as some what villaness and all the women as innocnent maybe make a play on gender. use Michel Foucault as a lens and find a scholory debate about one of these aspects and intervene maybe about insanity and lastly make sure you start off by fining a moment in the book that “made you” develop this idea present a with the grain understanding and then an againts the grain understanding that helps you to introduce these ideas maybe even discuss atwood and the bible. Feel free to add anything new you think is really instresting or prensent me with a new idea you might want to write but dont add to many aspects about I will paste examples of this kind of essay below (enlightneing dracula the one i like best i put an example of the intro and evidence) the rest are ok examples try to use enlighteing dracual as a good example to mirror not exactly but almost like a guide.

Oral Language Development and its Impact on Learning to Read
Science has established the relationship between oral language skills and learning to read. In other words, you need to know how to talk and use oral language in order to learn to read. Oral language acquisition establishes the foundation for the future development of reading skills. A written language can not exist without an oral language. However, oral languages can exist without a written version of that language. Students gain knowledge and skills in written expression of English (which includes reading and writing) based on their oral language repertoire. Therefore, oral language abilities seem to have an impact on the success of an individual’s ability to learn to read. This connection is so critical, that knowledge of how oral language develops in young children, makes a difference in the pedagogical choices teachers make when teaching reading. Read the following articles to help you gain a deeper understanding of Oral Language Development and its role in learning to read: What Is Oral Language_ Understanding Its Components and Impact on Reading Instruction _ Lexia Learning.pdf
