“The Empire of images in our world of bodies”?

Have you ever read “The Empire of images in our world of bodies” by Susan Bordo? How did you like it? I have to have a 4 page paper on it and seem to be having trouble with the summary part. Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciate it, Thanks.

Is your paper just supposed to be a complete summary?

Just run through it and say what the article tells you, but in a shorter version.

If you have to write an actual essay about it, analyze it. What are the positive and negative examples?

Does Bordo state a thesis or main focal point? If so, where is it and what is it? Does Bordo state her purpose and position on this issue, or is it a hidden image you have decrypt.

Pose questions like this and answer them.

I too am writing an essay somewhat geared to this media. I read the article and it sparked thoughts of what I could do for a paper that was geared toward social issues. I like how she states it plain and simple that there is an image being set not only for women, but for young girls, teenagers, and older females. She is saying that it is geared toward the collective sex of females, not just a select group, but overall.

I hope this helps, email if you want a little help.
