Assignment Eights WHATS WRITTEN ON YOUR BODY

Something written on the body can be interpreted in many ways. Usually people tattoo significant meanings, names and symbols on their body it’s a rare few who put tattoos on their body that has little to do with them as a person. A tattoo is a permanent open reminder to that person and those around them. It is also a characteristic about that person in which they want somebody to know or never forget. Usually a tattoo is never pointless because it’s something that is forever but then again you can never tell. In another perspective people say you can tell how hard a real man has done from his rough hard hands and how poise a real woman in a stereotypical sense from her soft touch or how wrinkle her hands had become from old age and from how much she has worked every day trying to raise her family. The hair is a person’s (genderless) crown of glory. Wither long, short, gray blond or black tells a story about a person as well.  A persons feet is also symbolic for how much of a journey they have been through. They say you haven’t experienced anything until you walk a mile in the other person feet or you cannot judge them until you do so. It is also a saying that you have to look through the other person’s eyes to see how they really feel when you please or hurt them. It is usually used in the context when someone has done wrong and they do not realize the actually harm that they have actually caused and somebody wiser is trying to get them to understand. I think Written on the Body did a really wonderful Job looking at somebody else’s life through the narrator’s eyes.   Written on the body left many questions as to how the body is portrayed as a whole and its many functions which was enacted in sexual situations many times in this novel. I do not think that the narrator looked at situations in other people eyes but only in hers and the way that things pleased her. Which is selfish, but then again she was willing to let Louise go. So in a pictorial way I could see Louise as this prohibition type of lady with many strengths and she beautiful I can see her with actually blond hair and red lipstick and a curvaceous body I can also see her that she is also fragile in the face and often flirty but she loves her fun and adventure this girl is a go getter. Her body is symbolic of many things because this narrator is infatuated with it. So what does this say about the narrator when they do not disclose the information about their physical attributes? And in the end actually Louise is not really a go getter but she leaves her lover maybe because her lover told her to go back or maybe she figured it was the right thing to do to save her own life intern making her selfish as well.
