I view beauty as something that is breathtaking and inspiring. I think the sight of something can be counted as beauty and I also think that the thought of something can also be counted as beauty. I think that looking at a landscape of the mountains is a beautiful sight that cannot be created by man. I also think that a kind gesture and appearance can also be counted as beauty to me. My community at UNE all view beauty differently. I somewhat agree with Armstrong when he explains that your past experiences can affect your view of beauty. Here at UNE, I think we can all agree that the view of the ocean outside the commons is very beautiful especially at sunset. I think I will use the quote, ” beauty is in the eye of the beholder” (Armstrong 1). I believe everyone views beauty differently and I think that if you rely on the concept of what your community thinks is beautiful, that you will potentially be missing the true beauty that is present. There is no wrong way to interpret beauty, and society should not define that. Beauty is a personal opinion and can be shown in a variety of ways.
Your annotations look great. Consider revisiting HOW Armstrong used that truism–that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This may unlock the potential for further insight.
