...Sydney Sullivan AP English Language and Composition Mr. Lane 5.8.11 Independent Reading Essay – First Draft The Beautiful People Section I: What is more cliché than the statement, “[i]t hurts to be beautiful” (Rhode, The Beauty Bias)? However, I find it more truthful to say, “[i]t hurts not to be beautiful” (Rhode, The Beauty Bias). Our society places a high level of importance on appearance and if you are unfortunate enough to not fit the mold then that becomes a problem. Men and women are forced to meet a set of standards that society will view as acceptable. However, women are more often discriminated against for their looks and are held to higher standards than men. It is as if the media industry and our culture “will never be satisfied and will always expect more” (Smithy). Our country, with the exception of “only one state and six cities or counties,” has no laws or policies forbidding discrimination based on appearance (Rhode, The Beauty Bias). This is ridiculous seeing as how I believe that the beauty bias is becoming one of the most common forms of discrimination today. Our society has become that of a clown. Our painted faces, hiding our true selves, are turning our world into a show. Who can put on the best performance and allow others to laugh at those who have been sprayed in the face with the unkind prejudices from the flower called society? Deborah L.

What we do is we sell one Guide billions and billions of times. We exploit the multidimensional nature of the Universe to cut down on manufacturing costs. And we don’t sell to penniless hitchhikers. What a stupid notion that was! Find the one section of the market that, more or less by definition, doesn’t have any money, and try to sell to it. No. We sell to the affluent business traveler and his vacationing wife in a billion, billion different futures. This is the most radical, dynamic and thrusting business venture in the entire multidimensional infinity of space-time-probability ever.” ... Ford was completely at a loss for what to do next. “Look,” he said in a stern voice. But he wasn’t certain how far saying things like “Look” in a stern voice was necessarily going to get him, and time was not on his side. What the hell, he thought, you’re only young once, and threw himself out of the window. That would at least keep the element of surprise on his side. ... In a spirit of scientific inquiry he hurled himself out of the window again. Douglas Adams Mostly Harmless Strangely, the thing that least intrigued me was how they’d managed to get it all done. I suppose I sort of knew. If I’d learned...
