Ribbons Response

The shoes (mainly ribbons) represent hatred and evil to the grandmother because of the history of the ribbons back in China. To stay though, they represented what she loved most, dancing. These two point of views on ribbons clash and stacy and grandma soon realize each other's point of views. In China women bent their toes to look "pretty" the ribbons were used to cut off the blood flow to ease the pain. This may seem crazy but what about piercings and tattoos in America? People in America get piercings, tattoos, starve themselves to look "pretty" so is it really worth it? of course it isn't, when would piercing your body or getting a permanent tattoo ever seem beautiful? This happens everywhere because people are so desperate to fit in. Some people need to be like stacy's grandma and break away from what made you fit in. Some people should start eating full meals or get a laser removal, it may feel different at first but it also did for Stacy's grandma. In conclusion why would you injure yourself to be beautiful, real beauty is on the inside.
