Rationale

I have chosen to write a blog to show how beauty in the eye of the
media influences the lives of teenage girls around the world. It is
based on Part 1 of the Literature & Language course. My character
represents a stereotypical anorexic teenage girl.

Writing a blog contributes personal opinion of the dangerous

impacts of the media. The Riotous Belle is an honest, intriguing
blog dedicated to girls that are misunderstood by the society. Belle,
an anorexic model writes her blog in her perspective that is clearly
shown in her writing which fits perfectly to conventions of a blog. It
consists of personal experiences and interests in the view of the
author, hence creates a discussion by her readers, which can be
seen through the comment section indicating authenticity.

The task I will be writing is inspired by a theory by Naomi Wolf

entitled, The Beauty Myth. By taking one of the big ideas in the
book, which is the stereotypical views of feminists perpetrated by
the media, which includes the belief where teenage girls feel the
need to wear make up or too lose extra pounds purposefully, to fit
the beauty perspective that has been constructed around them.

The target audience is teenage girls who admire Belle, that they feel
the need to have specific beauty standards and the socially
constructed ideologies relating to beauty and body image. It is set
during present time, where plus sized models are starting to be
looked upon by the society. Therefore, this blog will powerfully
express the view that is rarely heard through its strongly
opinionated content.
