Ribbons Reading Response


The shoes in the story are a symbol of the girls happiness and the grandmothers pain. The grandmothers culture is so different from ours for example the fact that they had to bow when they greeted each other and she did not show much affection towards Stacey when she first got there she also her feet were messed up because her parents binded them when she was little where we shake someone’s hand instead of bowing in their presence and we are more open to affection then they are and binding feet was not a tradition but most people do things that are extreme for beauty for example cosmetic surgeries, cosmetic dental procedures, collagen injections,  etc.  I think in some ways changing yourself with surgery or make up is good and bad its good because it can have a positive physiological impact on you and make you feel better about yourself,  it also unfortunately help with your social life and makes you more professional looking.  It can have a positive impact on your health to. I think its bad to because it could have a negative impact on your health and it could look worse than natural beauty.  I think that the significance of the title is that it’s a big symbol of the story because it represents one thing in the Stacy’s life and the opposite in her grandmothers life
