In Alter’s article, the girls all state where they buy clothes, what they wear and all have personal shoppers to help them find new trends. Michelle Serros talks in great detail about her rigid nose that ancestors passed on to her that she finds very unattractive. She pinches her nose everyday to hopefully make it look smaller or like her best friend Terri’s perfect nose. Living in California puts more tension on her to fit in and look like everyone else, the true Californian girl. “Today, when I take my graduation pictures, my nose will look just like Terri’s and then I’ll have the best picture in the year-book (Serros 33).” She sees that Terri is popular and has the perfect face and she wants that also to hopefully be popular like she is.

It has bonded them, as Becca proves when she kisses Gemma as the Prince kissed the princess in the tale. The importance of this story is obvious form the way they defend it from outsiders “that’s how it goes in this house”. The fact that Becca dresses up as a princess for Halloween conveys that it has helped shape her character. She later travels to Poland to find “the maker of the spells”, revealing how the story has developed her relationship with Gemma and now become part of her own life “I’m going to solve it, the riddle, the mystery and the enigma”. Through the constant retelling of the story, and the understanding of its importance to not only Gemma but also to Becca, the audience realises the value of all tales, whether containing truth or not, in our
The sexy words “eye candy” and “wink wink” grab people’s attention, and the products are not bad because they are in fashion and feel comfortable. Perspective for Producers Sale orientation is an important philosophy in marketing management (Lamb, Hair, McDaniel, 2009). Producers will absolutely want to sell as many products as possible. The ones from A&F can earn a niche in the market and become popular by its special design. As an A&F spokesperson said he could enumerate “at least 100 reasons why a young girl would want thong underwear” (Plagiarism, n.d.).So clothing producers should not miss the demand of young children’s market.

In “Country Lovers” Thebedi and Paulus are sneaking around and get pregnant and do not think of the consequences and Paulus kills the baby when he finds out Thebedi has given birth to a baby and sees that it is light skin. In “the Welcome Table” the little old lady just wants to go to church but the white people do not want her going to their church and kick her out for the color of her skin even though she was not doing anything wrong just praising God. While in all countries not all races are considered equal, everyone is equal and has the same rights because no race is better than another, all women have rights, and all African American have rights.

I’m still here, caring and looking after her every step of the way. I know this is one of the biggest days of her life, one she has been looking forward to ever since she was young, and one that she will remember for the rest of her life. I can still remember one of our conversations like it was just yesterday, one about her dream wedding. It would be sweet and quiet, nothing too fancy, with white roses and lilies everywhere. She always talked endlessly about what her dress would be like and how she wanted a veil that floated freely down her face that could be pushed back over her head like in the movies.
Dee only wanted to lord over them her superior intelligence and education, therefore boosting her own ego. Dee does not hide her shame for the way that her mother and Maggie live by writing “no matter where [they] “choose” to live, she will manage to come see [them].

This needs a certain finesse to achieve; her mind set is very important here. Being in the right mood for a date is a must. For women it begins with doing the things that make her feel beautiful like nice clothes, pretty make up, and prefect hair. A lot of times she will have her best friends around her telling her how great this new guy will be. Letting her know that in no way does her butt look lumpy and that her pimple is not noticeable.
