    When she is shot in the eye with a BB gun is what causes her to lose her self-esteem. She believes people will not see her as a cute little girl anymore. She also believes that when people look at her they will just stare at her like she is a freak or werid looking.
    She worries to much about what other people think about her. She is also worried about how her daughter will react when she finds out that her mothers eye is different friom everyone eles. Walker relayes to much on her apperence more than anything else. Beauty is not everything in the world.

    One example of groupthink in our society would be cults. In cults people do things based on the ideas of the group. Cults draw people in and then twist that person’s views to fit the ideas of the group or cult. The people involved in these cults never stand up for their personal views or question the ideas or teachings of the cult for fear they will be singled out or that they will anger members of the group. Another example of groupthink is the treatment of women in other cultures. In certain cultures around the world women are treated as though they are not entitled to the same rights as men. Women in these cultures are not allowed to receive an education or to seek employment. These cultures degrade women and others in these cultures just go along with the unfair treatment of women. No one in these cultures question the way women are treated.

    Eventually, she has the white mass removed from her eye. Her self-esteem improves and she starts to feel a lot better about herself. She begins to excel at school and even gets married and has a child of her own. Because she has always put so much emphasis on beauty she becomes an angry person.

    Second, both grandmothers have disrespectful grandchildren who try to test their limits. In the story “How Far She Went” for example, the grandmother has a rebellious granddaughter that has been sent to live with her after the death of her mother. The granddaughter defies her grandmother every chance she gets. She runs off continually without letting her grandmother know where she is going. The granddaughter does this through out the story until she finds herself in a situation where only her grandmother can save her. Another example of disrespectful grandchildren is in the story “A Good Man Is Hard to Find.” The grandmother finds herself in a similar relationship with her grandchildren. The two grandchildren in this story ignore and question most things their grandmother says to them. They were also rude and disorderly. The grandchildren in both stories seem to have no respect for adults.
    Journal Prompt 10. In Walker's Beauty, discuss the issues that caused Walker to lose her self-esteem. 2 paragraphs
    When she was a young girl she was very confident and prideful about her beauty. She was told by everyone that she was so pretty and smart. She loved to hear the compliments people would give her and this would only further boost her ego. One day, her brother shot her in the eye with a BB gun. This is disfigured her eye causing a white mass to cover it that resembled cataracts. She was ashamed and did not want anyone to see her eye. She became withdrawn and stayed in her room whenever company would visit her home. She was her that her daddy never chose her to go with him anymore. She thought it was because she wasn't beautiful anymore. At school the other children were very cruel to her and she was even in a fight over the name calling. After the fight, the other children left her alone.

    I believe Suave product commercials are very effective. They are so effective that I even tried the products. The products really do hold up during the normal stressful day. The products are also very well priced like stated in the commercials. So in my opinion, any commercial that advertises something that is completely true and is also a very reliable product is an example of good advertising.

    First, the grandmothers in the two stories both feel very strongly about their opinions and own ways of doing things. For example, in the short story “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”, the grandmother character is very strong-willed about wanting to go to east Tennessee. She tries every suggestion she can think of to persuade her family to change their minds about going to Florida. Another example, in the short story “How Far She Went”, the grandmother in this story continues on with her routine no matter what disruption her granddaughter causes for her. Both of these examples display the similar temperaments of each grandmother from the stories.

    In this short story Walker lost one of her eyes from one of her brothers shooting a pelit (bb) gun. When she went to ther doctor they told her and her parents that due to her loosing her vision in one eye she could easily loose it in the other eye. Walker developed a haze over her and and always looked down. She looked down because she felt people were only paying attention to her eye and not her. Before she was shot people saw her to be beautiful, with this haze she felt different.

    to move to another county. In this county all of the kids make fun of Walker because she walks with her head down and never looks up. It was so bad that Walker ended up fighting a guy because he called her out of her name. Walker was in a terrible stat of mind. At night she would taunt her eye with this behavior her family decided to send her to live with her grandparents. This was a good thing for her because she knew all of the kids at the school near her grandparents.

    Most people are scared to think that their boss is wrong and they won't speak on it. In a lot of businesses we see group think because people are affaid to go against what their employer think is right. They are mainly scared to loose their jobs. They go along with what their boss is saying even if it's against their beliefs.Another example of group think is in gangs. The gang members are forced to do what their leader is telling them to do or they could loose their life or the life of one of their family members.
