Lone Girl --> Brighten up!
What immediately struck me at the conclusion of Chapter 4 in Seeing and Writing, was the picture of the lone girl on the stool, staring off into space. This picture shows such innocence, but also such a lack of confidence. Interesting how this photograph is placed in the book. On one side of the layout is a beautiful, very stylish and sexy woman, while this picture is of a young girl, very much outdated and "frumpy". It looks as though she is sitting, waiting to get her class picture taken. One of those embarrassing moments where you have to smile, readjust a million times, and say "cheese" (or "fromage" -- I like to say that), knowing that your picture is still going to turn out horrible. I just wish that this girl would have had more confidence, would have taken pride in herself. Her eyes wander and she slouches, indicating to me that she doesn't care and that she is lost, either literally, or figuratively (in terms of life). Unfortunately, she seems to be around the age where most girls feel insecure about themselves and their own body images. No matter how much we are taught in school to respect ourselves and accept ourselves, we always seem to keep putting OURSELVES down. I wished the picture carried this connotation instead, "Here I am! This is ME! I am ready to conquer the world!" I know, it's cheesy, but its true. Sometimes I have to say that to myself just to keep positive.
