"Where flowers bloom so does hope"

Blog #15

The article that I chose to read about is, “The perfect smile” by Rose Xi Man Poon, she explains how one’s perfect smile is defined in your own perspective but also, how different countries and areas define a perfect smile. The perfect smile is becoming a popular trend and individuals are seeking to desire the right smile in the community. This article can relate to Schiller’s idea of form drive because people nowadays long to have a perfect smile in the world we live in today.

The first podcast that I was thinking of incorporating in my essay would be Terry’s and Alex’s Podcast. I think that this podcast will work well in my essay because it explains the comfortability in your own skin, it is a lifelong journey. The podcast supports the concept of whether you are comfortable in your skin because people are telling you to do this and or to better yourself, but in reality that is not what the individual truly desires. Many individuals are striving for someone else’s goal in life, but that is not what the person really wants in life.

The second podcast that I was thinking of using was Jamies and Taylor podcast of Taylors younger sister. I chose this podcast because her perspective of beauty is different. The vision of beauty changes as one gets older. I think this will help support my essay because it shows that beauty and being beautiful is not a major stress there are worse things than being that perfect pictured individual or place.

    I think that your idea with the perfect smile sounds interesting! One recommendation that I have when writing your essay is to explain what the perfect smile means because I had never heard of it before. I think that if you get this point across, then it will be really good. I like how you made sure to make a connection between the form drive to the perfect smile. For the podcasts, I think both of those make great connections to your essay! I think another podcast that you could incorporate in your essay could be Victoria B.’s essay where the person speaks of the beauty she felt in her quinceanera dress and discuss the meaning behind the dress being one of the driving factors behind the object of beauty. Overall, I think that your essay is going to be great and you are off to a great start! Good luck writing!

    Your analysis on both podcasts is very thorough and agreeable. Both podcasts clearly strengthen your essay based on the details you provided. Terry and I’s podcast discusses extensively the concept of being comfortable in your own skin. Jamie and Taylor’s podcast may also be connected to beauty over time which again only functions to make your argument stronger.
