American society is obsessed with image
It is no secret that many Americans - particularly women - struggle
with body image issues. It's also no wonder, given that we are
inundated daily with media images of mythical creatures who bear some
resemblance to actual human beings but appear to have few, if any
physical flaws. With so much deception and hype over the superficial,
it is easy to become obsessed with body image and begin to frequently
verbalize one's frustrations. Unfortunately, this can happen to the
detriment of meaningful friendships and important associations.
Not many people enjoy hearing someone complain constantly about their
appearance and how they wish it were different - except in those cases
where misery loves company. And after a while, these complaints can
alienate perfectly wonderful people. So how does one spot the signs
that they are pushing people away? If you are worried that you could
be overdoing it and are on the verge of losing some valuable
relationships, here are a few signs that you might be right:
This is a possible sign that they have grown weary of dining with you.
This may especially be the case if all you do is talk fat calories
before, during and after meals. You may not be fully aware of just how
much you talk about this, but it can easily happen. People who are
obsessed with their weight can ruin a perfectly good dinner date by
complaining about how fattening the appetizers are, how they
absolutely must pass on the bread and how they can hardly consume more
than a leaf of lettuce without gaining 5 pounds. While it's okay to be
conscientious about what one eats, constantly discussing this at every
opportunity can be a real turn-off for people who just want to relax,
relate and unwind.
Connection to Cyrano
The connection between American and Cyrano is that they both have to
do with image. They think more with image because there is this one
men who think he is all that and he finds Cyrano and start to make fun
of him and telling him how he look. That also happen here American
when the people are going to get down first they start talking about
each other then next thing you know they are on the floor. Also in
Cyrano when Cyrano and Christian go to war and because they are so
hungry Roxanne come out of no where with food so when she goes with
Cyrano he ask her how did she pass with all of this food she said
"because of my looks" as you see image is imported for some thing.
