All’s Fair in Vietnam
1. What is your opinion about the topic that has been discussed in this short story? In my opinion about the topics that has been discussed in this short story is the stories that tell us about people in Vietnam are obsessed with beauty. It has been founded when she came to Vietnam and everyone looked at her face, there are some who asked her, 'how much for your skin'. That person asked that question because her skin really beautiful. If I were in her place, I felt scared because everybody gesture towards me and I felt uncomfortable with that situation. Other than that, in Vietnam, girls spent more money to protect their skin.
2. Do you think the writer enjoys having white complexion? Yes because she has a natural beauty, luminous white, and she becomes the focus of the girls there. Female Vietnam they are very particular about their skin care but they are willing to spend money to protect the skin. The writer feels happy because she has a natural beauty and does not need surgery to look beautiful. In fact they will do anything to solve the problem by protecting themselves from UV rays. Actually, everyone have natural beauty inside of their self. For me, we must be grateful for the blessed that we have because the real beauty comes from inside.
3. What do you understand from the phrase ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder means that different people will find different things beautiful and that the differences of opinion don't matter greatly. For me, beauty is very subjective. Everyone have their own natural beauty and does not need to do plastic surgery to look beautiful and better than others. Beauty ourselves too often the focus of other people and they have their own opinion about ourselves. Last but not least, we do not act with the beauty that we have because it is not immortal but it can be lost in an instant if we are not grateful for the blessings we can.
