RJA#13b-Application Project Plan

Journal entry, scene from a play (movie - Somethings Got to Give).

Since my paper was on the effects of aging on a woman, I would like to focus on some of the more fun things about being a "woman of age" - not a young woman. I realize that my paper focused on the natural remedies vs. un-natural remedies, but I would like to look at the actual stage in life, itself.

There is a scene in the Movie, Somethings Got to Give with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, where Diane Keaton's character's sister speaks on the irony of being a woman of age, accomplished and still very attractive - yet, society and men (like Jack Nicholson's character) only see great value in younger women.

My MLA paper briefly discussed the issues that women face based on society's perception (or, treatment) of women of age. I would like to look at that, and develop it through my personal perceptions, using a scene from the movie (above), and tying in some of the physiological aspects that were definitely highlighted in my MLA, The New Old Body Paper. I will also use the book, Body for Life, which is one of my resources for the MLA paper - and, I probably used it more than any other source in that paper. That's my plan!
