Reading aloudRead the following passage aloud, making a pause between sense groups.To be called beautiful / is thought to name something essential to women’s character and concerns, / in contrast to men, / whose essence is to be strong, or effective, or competent. / It does not take someone with advanced feminist awareness / to find that the way women are taught to be involved with beauty / reinforces dependence and immaturity. / Everybody (women and men) knows that. / For it is “everybody,” a whole society, / that has identified being feminine with caring about how one looks, / and being masculine with caring about what one is and does / and only secondarily about how one looks. / Given these stereotypes, / it is no wonder that beauty enjoys, at best, a rather mixed reputation.1-1Section Three: Detailed Reading1.
