Plain Girl (Harcourt Young Classics)

Product Information

Someone who is plain is someone who you would not glance twice at if they came into a room. It is the female who is neither beautiful nor unattractive. She may be homely but there are some women who are simply too attractive to be called plain. The word "plain" comes from a French term meaning "of no importance". That is what makes some women plain: they are not important or valuable. Others may have an unusual face, old-fashioned values, or both, and they can still be considered plain. Sorensen wrote several Mormon-themed books. [1] [13] Despite this, she said of herself, "As a writer and as a person, I can honestly say that I am not particularly interested in Mormons.” [14] The "Returning Mormon" [ edit ] But I will say that it showed the good things about living in a simple Amish community,in terms of how they helped each other, and how in many ways families that love each other are alike.

I didn’t find myself drawn to her. I didn’t find her especially likeable but I believe the fault there lies with Miller and not his creation. We can only work with what he provides and he is stingy with the facts. An easy read with some nice passages, especially the final chapter, but I never thought of her as a girl anywhere throughout the book, in fact the book begins and ends with her in her sixties.It's very common for young women to want to change their looks in some way through using makeup or changing their hairstyle. Being plain doesn't mean that a woman isn't attractive; it just means that her face has no special features that would make it interesting or beautiful. There is no need to wear makeup or do anything else to be plain because your natural beauty is enough. In 1989, Virginia Sorensen was inducted to Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Utah, where she was also given the distinction "Utah's First Lady of Letters". [50] In 1991, she was granted an Honorary Lifetime Membership in the Association for Mormon Letters. [51] Bibliography [ edit ] For adults Home-schooled children, and immigrants, and those who need to learn of their perspectives, will benefit from this look at someone who comes from a different culture.

The rest of the book is made up of very short chapters that rush towards the book’s conclusion. Finding happiness and discovering an inner beauty are a matter of chance and perhaps that’s the book’s point, that although she had acted with an independence uncharacteristic of her gender at the time, she nevertheless couldn’t do much to control her destiny.To change the internal eyelid anatomy to the type that people with beautiful lids were born with requires an advanced technique of upper lid surgery, called the tarsal fixation blepharoplasty. Once done, it becomes as if you were born with bright eyes and with all the benefit that flow from having bright eyes, and stay that way to slow the appearance of facial aging.
