2. White Strikes Me First:
Actually, what strikes me first when I found this article wasn't about that I found an article - it's more like I feel like my options are starting to become really limited the more I search. I feel that I've found great sources before, and some of the stuff I find now is a little absent minded. I've also noticed that a lot of articles that are anti beauty pageant or just pageants in general, center around child pageants.
Now, the article looks short and sweet. I'm hoping that it gets straight to the point. I see that there is both a pros and cons section, which is great except that the cons paragraph is much longer AND comes with a video. So I'm starting to think this article is more anti-pageant than pro-pageant.
3. The world stood in a state of shock. The death news of a 6 year old Colorado girl, who participated in a child beauty pageant was flashed on every news channel"
" who is to be blamed? The parents for letting their children divert into the world of fashion at a very tender age, the media for creating a hype about such beauty pageants or the organizers for tapping the potential market in child modeling. "
" At a very young age the child learns discipline, patience and confidence. The pride of standing and modeling in front of an audience instills self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment."
4. After reading the article, my suspicions were confirmed: while the article was straight to the point and gave some good pro-pagaent points, the rest was mostly negative. It's a little frustrating because I feel like I chose a side to pageants that only those who've experience pageants would understand. The author made some really good points in her cons section though. I especially liked how she mentioned pageants are a means of delivering community service.
