In today’s society, many girls tend to want to be just like the movie stars they see on TV. They envy the beauty, glamour and the fame that most movie stars have. For example, in Frankie’s case, she wanted to have the gold locks as Shirley Temple did.
The author is saying that most girls like her might feel as insecure as she did when she would put plaits in her hair. Images of beauty were mostly perceived to be that of having curly, cloned hair just as Shirley temple did. In today’s society many girls have low self esteem and deal with always trying to be perfect. Nobody is perfect. There is only one kind of beauty that young girls do not seek, and that is the beauty that is within your soul.
Though to the media perceives our beauty to be something that it is not, we must still continue to encourage young girls and woman to love them for what they are. If you try to be something that you’re not, it only makes you less unique.
