Analysis Of Selfies Are Good For Girls By Rachel Simons

I select the article “Selfies are good for girls,” by Rachel Simons.

After carefully reading and analyze the article, I will present my response and viewpoints on the text.The author present the idea that maybe for a change selfies could be a positive reinforcements for girls.

The article is written in a rather informal way using some colloquial languages. She uses words such as “selfies,” “bitch," and #selfiesunday.

Then, I realized that maybe selfies could bring a much more realistic standard in the beauty industry.

She ends the article with “The selfie flaunts the restrictions of "good girl" culture like a badass teenager sitting in the back of the classroom, refusing to apologize for what she says.

Simons does a great job engaging the reader and clearly explaining her point of view, even though
