I had strong feelings against Barbie before and even after reading this essay, I still feel the same way. I do not feel Barbie is a good influence on young girls. It gives them a false sense of what beauty and perfection is. I did not learn anything that caught my eye, however, I did learn elsewhere that if Barbie were a real woman with all her proportions, she would be a horror story. Opposite of me, the author found something important and interesting about Barbie after going to the convention and getting exposed to the other people and their ideas about Barbie. She was able to have a wonderful experience with the people and develop a new found love for Barbie and her convention. The essay however, was written very nicely and was easy to read, it helped reinforce how my writing style should be.
