Strike A Pose - laurendeffner

when i first starting reading this article i was really confused but it all came together at the end. I also was sort of confused on how this tied into the reading until i got to the reading afterwards... It was showing the difference between looking at a situation as the insider and the outsider. "Sometimes things as not what they seem" This statement i especially true, and with this ethnography i think its going to be sort of difficult to be on the other side, as the insider and try to see things as they and try to figure out things as not what they seem. Hopefully i will be able to accomplish this because i have already been involved in the subculture that im observing but that can also be a disadvantage... i also like the quote "We all need fantasy. Without it, reality is far too great for us to even remotely handle." and i really like the way they look at the article about the beauty, how karen is both effected as replused and amused. I really like the side notes after each reading because it helps me see a view that i dont usually see just reading it on my own.
