ESSAY ON: Lucy Grealy's "Autobiography Of A Face" - Deviance

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: 8 pages in length. Lucy Grealy was victimized twice in her life: the first time being broadsided by childhood cancer that - by distorting her face - caused her insurmountable grief and torment for the rest of her life and the second time by the social dictate that branded her a deviant who was not welcome to assimilate into her own culture. The extent to which Lucy faced adversity with regularity yet still labored to overcome it is both grand and far-reaching; that through her lifelong efforts to do so only pushed her deeper and deeper into the depths of social deviance speaks to the cyclical nature of society, its stringent mandates for acceptance and the substandard image - along with the disfigurement of her face - with which Lucy had to live. No additional sources cited.
