There’s a Mathematical Equation That Proves I’m Ugly Or So I Learned in My Seventh-Grade Art Class by Ariel Henley
This essay was about a young girl with Crouzon Syndrome and how she found beauty in herself, even when everyone and everything is telling her otherwise. Her story is focused on her experience in a middle school art class where they learn about the golden ratio that mathematically defines feminine beauty within art. Throughout the class, this girl tries to find a way to be comfortable in her own skin and feel beautiful.
“Beauty is subjective” (46)
“”Fix me””(42)
“I have never understood mathematical equations or ratios, so the only thing I learned from her lesson was that these were the beauty standards a woman must meet if she wanted to be deemed worthy” (41)
I think the main take away for me from this essay is that beauty cannot be defined. It’s subjective to the eye of the beholder and there is beauty in absolutely everything around us. I also really liked that this was about this girl finding beauty and seeing herself as beautiful. I think often in these stories we hear about people dealing with physical deformation problems that end up finding beauty in their personality and they’re inside rather than their outside. I understand how important it is and that what’s on the inside matters but it’s nice to read a story where someone doesn’t give up on their personal appearance and finds beauty in their physical outsides as well.
