Cofer

Media plays a major role in Cofer's life. Cofer is constantly being held to a high standard during her entire life. In Puerto Rico she was considered beautiful because, although she was different than others, her "white" skin and large eyes were considered interesting. When Cofer moved with her family to America the image of what makes a beautiful women changed. The media america did not want a skinny scrawny girl to be considered beautiful. Instead they wanted voluptuous white women like wonder woman. Cofer, although beautiful in Puerto Rico, was not considered beautiful because she did not resemble wonder woman. It is impossible for anyone to look like Wonder Woman because she is not a true character so for the media to try to force that upon women in America it is insane. Cofer was always being put down because she did not resemble a fictional character.
