Essay 2

Three more days until the rough draft for the second essay is due and I'm stuck. I feel like I don't have enough to say for a specific topic and yet I have a bit to say for each. This essay is going to be harder for me than the first one because I've never done an MLA or APA type essay before. I enjoyed the first essay although it took me a while to figure out what I was going to write about. But after that, it was pretty easy. So for this essay, I'm leaning more towards Option 3 which is about being normal. I think I'll do body image since that should be a bit easier? For the past week we've watched the movie "Freaks" and talked about the concept of "normal." I don't like the fact that the word "freaks" are used to categorize people because in the end, who is to judge who's a freak? The physically disabled people in the movie weren't the freaks, instead Cleo and Hercules were. In the movie, they united in order to help their friend, Hanz, get revenge against the villains. There also isn't a definition for normal because this word is different for everyone.
