Sulking Over Stretch Marks? Here Are Five Ways To Deal With Them Effectively
Any blemish on your body can bother you, but stretch marks are kind of in a class all by themselves.

Stretch marks can certainly leave a scar on your psyche, so it's time you did something about them:
The Origins Of Stretch Marks
You've heard stretch marks can happen with weight fluctuations, such as during pregnancy, but sometimes these scars appear with a seeming randomness that defies circumstance. Ultimately, though, stretch marks aren't the result of weight gain, they're caused by the hormonal conditions a body happens to be undergoing at the time. While a person is enduring pregnancy or puberty, there's not much that can be done about the raging hormones, however, at most other times,

When they bind with copper, they create an amazing building block of sorts. Dr. Loren Pickart discovered the value of copper peptides to damaged skin in a petri dish back in 1973. Today, Pickart's discoveries are still very hard at work, rebuilding skin cells for burn victims and other types of epidermal trauma. Where stretch marks are concerned, the copper peptides minimize scar tissue and actually rebuild the tissue to close to its original form. Copper peptides are safe during pregnancy and can be (should be!) used at the earliest sign of stretch marks.

So, there's no getting around your obsession with cheesecake: For numerous health reasons, as well as to minimize your stretch marks, stay within a healthy weight.
5. Laser Surgery As A Final
In World War II the soldiers used a jelly-like substance, called “red vet pet” to prevent themselves from the sun. Finally, Benjamin Green combined this substance with cocoa butter and coconut oil, which created the new line of Coppertone suntan cream. Coppertone has come a long way, to make their product better. As they changed the product, the advertisement changed over the years to appeal to the audience. Although both of these advertisements are being presented to get people to buy Coppertone, the modern day advertising is more appealing than 1944 advertisement; the modern day advertisement has a better focal point, action, general feeling and mood, selection of elements, and audience.
The author in this chapter states that writers use physical marks on characters in order to show their individuality and their importance in contrast to the characters who are less important and without any physical marks. In the quote, he goes further and states that markings are indicators of possibilities for the character. Throughout the examples the author presented, he explained the symbolic meanings of each mark of a character. The mark on a character will always reveal something about the character that possesses the mark. The mark may be an indicator or a past injury, or foreshadow an event later on in the story. Marks doesn’t always have to be scar or a mole, it can also be a disability. Disabilities are very symbolic and can represent the emotional pain of a character, the past of a character, and the limits that the character is bound to. If a character has “a limp in Chapter 2, he can’t go sprinting after the train in Chapter 24.” Disabilities hinder the character in ways that impact the entire course of the story. In this chapter, the author also discusses the possibility that characters are a reminder to not only the character but to the reader that people are different from the start of

In this manner, selecting it as the symbol of his wife's liability to sin, sorrow, decay, and death.” (Hawthorne 359).

Every relationship is different. Weather one may be in a relationship with a boy, or just a friend, it is different. Even though they are different, the characters in “The Birthmark” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “IND AFF” by Fay Weldon are in similar relationships. That is, the male is dominant over the female, and the woman thinks the man is her knight in shining armor. In the beginning of “IND AFF” the unnamed woman thinks her professor, Peter, who she is having an affair with, is her ticket to creating a good thesis and higher standings. Similarly, in “The Birthmark,” Georgiana thinks her husband is her ticket to flawless beauty because he tells her he will remove her birthmark. Obviously, this is not how relationships operate in today’s society. These two relationships compare and contrast with each other as well as with relationships in today’s day-and-age.

Nathaniel Hawthorne did not do much explaining when it came to the characters involved in "The Birthmark". He did not portray the main characters: Aylmer, Georgiana, and Ambidab as human beings, but rather as symbols. While analyzing the story "The Birthmark", I have achieved some great insight of the author 's articulate writing style; especially, his style of making characters have symbolic meaning. In this story, Hawthorne uses his characters to symbolize specific things. In this ambiguous, short story, the three characters each symbolize Science, Beauty, and Nature. Each character represents an unusual force that has equally worked against each other.

In Subculture Theory many theorists were interested in explaining delinquent gangs, which were believed to be the most common form of delinquency. The Subculture Theory was made up of several different theories that were all related to each other. Subculture theories provided explanations of how groups of individuals develop similar values and rationales for behavior (Williams & McKay, 2014). One theory within Subculture Theory was called the delinquent subculture theory by Albert Cohen. Another theory in the Subculture Theory was the differential opportunity formed by Richard Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin. The third theory by Walter Miller used direct observation of social groups in their natural setting. All four theories were interest in of the Subculture Theory could develop (Williams & Mckay, 2014). The last major theory was very different theories and was created by Wolfgang and Ferracuti.

However, there seems to be an underlying theme to the story that adds a layer to Hawthorne’s common theme of the unpardonable sin; when Aylmer attempts to reconcile his intellectual prowess with his love for his wife, his efforts turn into an obsession with perfecting his wife’s single physical flaw and her consequent death. This tragedy occurs within the confines of traditional gender
