Martian Mary


The title of the magazine I found was People. I found it in my house. This article is about Martian Mary. She has visited our planet and seen one of our magazines. And this is what she thinks. Mary sees a person on the front cover with a lot of headlines and words. She sees a women on the front cover with a lot of words around her. The words tell what is going to be inside the magazine. The majority of the articles are about teenagers and about famous people and there lives. The articles mostly tell us stories and it also has a lot of make-up and jewelry pictures. This tells Mary that all we care about is gossip and what we wear and what we think about other people. The people in the magazine are all looking very good and they don't have any pimples or bruises on there skin. Most of them are wearing nice new clothes that are bright in color and some holes in there pants. I think Mary the Martian would learn that our people are not like her people. She would think that they are way different.Americans should look like they all fit in. Most Americans try fitting in so much everyone starts looking the same. I think Mary would be surprised by the people at the local mall because of the clothes they were wearing. She would wonder why we dress like this. Marys sees that Americans desire the clothes they wear, there electronic devices, there money and a lot of other things in the magazines. Mary wonders why they desire so many things all the time. Also Mary sees that Americans love there food as well because she seen people eating in the magazine. According to the magazine, feminine means when you are a girl and you wear bright colors, have your nails done, be skinny, and wear high heels. Masculine means when a guy is strong, muscular, and manly. So therefore feminine and masculine are two different things that show how stereotypes affect men and women. I think magazines make Americans happy because we like to read about all the drama with the movie stars. Also we like to know what is going on in the world so we don't miss out on things. This is why I think Americans are happy because of magazines. I think she gets the heck out of here and goes back to her home planet because she sees we have to much drama and a lot going on, on our planet. She doesn't like earth because of all the mean and horrible things that are in magazines.
