Newspaper Article 2 (reflection)

This newspaper article is a propaganda targeted towards the wonderful and fun city of pretties. It is showing how the society has no voice and the only thing connecting it to the rest of the world is media controlled by the government. This information can sometimes be misleading and false which affects the society greatly. Writing the article I thought how in the society of the pretties they don’t have freedom of speech and are often brainwashed from the operation. The media covers this up by only showing the good and fun aspects of turning beautiful. In propaganda media the facts are often blown up in order to influence the attitude of people towards being pretty. This is the reason I wrote the article exaggerating the world of pretties using the clues from the book that they only have fun. The secrets and problems of the society are greatly hidden and usually only one side of the story is portrayed.

            The article is a great addition to the story, but it also shows the dystopian society which is the author’s idea. In this sense it praises the author’s text.

            I believe that if this piece was in the book it would show how clueless the society is and how the government controls all thoughts and beliefs of people.
