Atkinson Extra Credit

The Atkinson writing was very difficult to read and comprehend. The most difficult part was interpreting the dense writing with the obstacles of difficult vocabulary and sentence structure. It was difficult in general to follow. For example, on page 3, the author talks about all bodies being “fundamentally the same,” and then a few paragraphs down she contradicts that idea. She says “each culture gets the body it deserves.” I understand both arguments, but it is confusing to have both arguments in the same section. How can all bodies be the same and different?
