This is one of many essays that I conducted where I could implicate my understanding of the novel to real-life events in the world, which is why I chose this artifact.

Homework: Reflective Statement (1): Standards of Beauty- "Are You Man Enough?"
This refection statement that addresses beauty standards conveys my idea of beauty in my reality; with the use of the novel, I created a connection with the main protagonist Pecola and included how I resonate with her, with the ideology of how men are supposed to act in society. The reason why I chose this essay was due to its correlation to me personally, where I had the ability to give my own personal experience and relate to the character of Pecola.
