I will go over somethings before I can answer this.

Why Does The Media Affect Our Body Image?

If a person is on television, say for a reporter or someone else, they might make you look <em>better </em>or <em>worse. </em>You can never appear on TV by "Just Being You." People will say to women, "Add makeup!" People will say to men <em>and women sometimes</em>, "Wear better clothing!" Now this isn't just to make you mad, ugly, or prettier. This is just how you want yourself to look like in over a thousand people's presence. If you are shy, you might actually want this. But it usually isn't who you are.

What Do Books Have On Our Appearance?

Now <em>books </em>are a different story. Books usually count on illustrations. Say you wrote a story about your love for butterflies. On the title cover, your title was "Butterflies and Me." Under this writing, your illustrator (you or someone else) drew you and a butterfly landing on your finger. This drawing could be realistic or cartoonish-it depends on you. How would you like to expose yourself in a book? Any realistic drawing couldn't be <em>you exactly-</em>but it would be close. Books will have a change on our appearance just by this.

Books Vs Media!

Books and media sometimes connect in a way. You write a story and someone makes a movie from your story. Say the main character is "I". <em>You </em>are the main character in your story. Now if you drew yourself in a book realistic-like, and then the movie made you exactly what you drew, that would be the only change in your appearance. But if you drew yourself cartoon, and the movie made you realistic, then you've got your own change. Your appearance on books and your appearance on movies are their own change-movies might be realistic or cartoon, and your book would be completely opposite.

The Final Answer Is...

The final answer is yes, books can contribute to this problem.

While not traditionally a visual medium, unhealthy expectations can be communicated through print. Diet and relationship books are particularly likely in promoting a negative body image. Students should understand that body image isn't only affected by visual mediums.

Answer:

Tom Sawyer, the mischievous, adventurous boy, always was looking for trouble to keep his life interesting. Tom, along with his friends, Huckleberry Finn and Joe Harper planned adventures to keep themselves busy. Tom, being the boy that always gets into trouble, was at the same time smart. He got out of his punishments, given by his Aunt Polly whom he lives with. His cousin Sid, whom he also lives with informed Aunt Polly with all of Tom’s mischief. Tom tried not only to get out of his punishments, but he tried to find ways to avoid school too.

Tom’s own adventures always get him in more trouble than expected. While on his way to the graveyard to find a cure to warts, he and his friend witness a murder. Trying to keep what they have seen a secret, Tom suffers with nightmares and a guilty conscience. Meanwhile, he has fallen in love with a new girl in school, Becky Thatcher, which completely ignored him and broke his heart. Tom and his friends decided to escape their life of misery and pain, and stick by with each other until death. They planned another one of their adventures of becoming pirates and set sail to Jefferson’s Island.

They stayed there until they started getting homesick, Tom returned home to find Aunt Polly worrying about him and planning his funeral. He quickly returned to tell his friends about their “funeral” and his great plan of showing up at their own funeral. After returning home, he ignores Becky, and gets on with his life, not knowing that he is really in love. When summer comes, he catches the measles and is forces to stay in bed for weeks. After he is well, the trial of the murder he had witnessed starts.

Not able to keep in his secret any longer he tells his story and the murderer, In Jun Joe escapes. Fearful that Joe will seek revenge of Tom he gets frightened, but he becomes a hero. Forgetting about Injun Joe, which was never captured, Huck and him plan another adventure to look for treasures in haunted houses. Not being aware that the house they are searching gold for is the same house Injun Joe is in, they hear his plans of “revenge” against Widow Douglas, the judge’s wife. Huck and Tom also hear where the treasure can be found.

Huck keeps an eye out, while Tom attends Becky’s picnic where they are friends again. Becky and Tom both get lost in a cave and Tom ends up seeing Injun Joe. Huck informs the widow and she was saved from murder. Injun Joe locked in the cave, dies of hunger while Tom and Becky find a way out. Not being in enough trouble, Huck and Tom return to the cave to find the treasure, and luckily find 12,000 dollars worth of gold. They split it and they live in a lives as famous boys and told their tales over and over to other boys, while continuing their adventures.
