Natural Beauty
Estefany Alfaro May 18, 2012 Period 4 Have you ever looked in the mirror, and never seemed to see yourself as what you consider “beautiful”? A person is not always considered beautiful for their physical appearance, but for how they truly are from inside. The song “Natural Beauty” from Immortal Technique is a song that gives a message to all the people out there who feel insecure about themselves. It shows that you just need to be yourself and everything will go smooth, because if you don’t find yourself beautiful, then it would give you a harder time to socialize with friends and you would have the feeling of being uncomfterable. A literary device that the song “Natural Beauty” has is metaphor, for the fact that all the artist is singing is making a direct comparison with a person’s natural beauty and with someone’s who is fake, as in plastic surgery, or would try to imitate to be someone else who isn’t them.
Now a days beauty propaganda makes people feel insecure about themselves to the point that they decide to imitate somebody else who isn’t them. For example, “These magazines got you caught in a hustle” (line#26). This quote shows that most magazines show famous people ,and they always look so “perfect”. This makes some people feel less important or even beautiful, than famous people. In consequences, it makes them want to change who they truly are. Another thing is that all the fans that follow their favorite singer, actor/actress idol or anybody else, makes them want to imitate who they admire. “A bio polar society that claims to be righteous spray painting artificial melanin trying to be like us” is a quote that means that they are people out there that are crazy and would do anything to look how they want to. These people are called fanatics. Fanatics have come to the extreme that they would literally get plastic surgery,
