2. What Strikes Most:
Funny enough, I found this article via a link that was posted on Source 13. I figured that that article was based on this one and it appears to have the same structure as the current one. There is both a pros and cons section, and the pros section looks much lengthier than the last. Scrolling to the bottom is a comments section where there is a discussion taking place. I have not really read into detail yet, but I'm guessing that a good portion of the comments are going to argue for the cons.
3. Participating in a beauty pageant helps children overcome their shyness and stage fright. It also gives them an opportunity to showcase their singing, dancing, and communication skills.
So many contestants end up becoming close friends, and even though they may not win a significant place in the pageant, they take home the everlasting gift of friendship and wonderful memories.
4. I wish the article didn't emphasize child pageantry so much, but it made good points about pageants in general like how they help promote good causes and a passion for something. There indeed many lengthy sentences about the cons, much to my dismay. The comments were a mix of not useful to sort of discernable. There was a plethora of random commentary, which tells me that this is probably not the best source to be solely basing research off of. HOwever, there were a few comments about individual perspectives that fell in between the two polar sides of "pageants are great" and "pageants promote unhealthy issues"
