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.

hope it helps

Answer:

Introduction

This book will look at homeschooling from two perspectives. It will show how homeschooling affects both teachers and students. I will show that there are both pros and cons to homeschooling.

Though it is not for everyone, there are ways that homeschooling can support certain types of students. Students can work at their own pace and explore subject areas that interest them in depth.

However, they may also feel separated from peers. In addition, homeschooling is a lot of work for parents and guardians. It requires a lot of resources.

The book will also attempt to answer questions about homeschooling. For example, what is it like to learn outside of a traditional classroom? What does a student gain? And what might they lose? What do classroom teachers think of homeschooling? And how are parents and guardians affected? These and other difficult questions will be considered throughout the text.

Answer:

1. a. diary

2. a. mentally disadvantaged

3. b. the misspellings

4. D. useless

Explanation:

"Flowers for Algernon" tells the story of Charlie, a man who has a problem that leaves him mentally disadvantaged. This problem is a type of disability that leaves Charli mentally inferior to a healthy adult. Charlie's problem is so serious that initially the inkblot tests he was submitted were inconclusive and did not provide any help to his case.

Cahrlie's story is told from his diaries and we can see his difficulty through the numerous spelling mistakes he writes. However, Charlie undergoes surgery and treatment that stimulates improvements in his situation and little by little we see Charlie's writing getting more correct and refined showing that his intellectual capacity is progressing.
