Gazes

I have recently learned that there are many types of  gazes when it comes to narrative writing. Gazes are simply the different ways of describingwhat we see. There is the Familial gaze, which consists of how you and a small group of your friends and family experience things. There is the National Gaze, which consists of how we as a nation see things, such as how we felt during 9/11, or when we put a man on the moon. There is the Consumer gaze, which we encounter every time we step foot in a grocery store, through the adertisements on the products. Little kids prefer the cartoon characters on their cereal, and for it to be at eye level. Adults prefer the cereals that is healthier for them, and on their eye level. There is the Political gaze, which is how we view the politicians running for office, and how we view the president, whether we agree with what he is doing, or not. Last but not least, we have the Travel gaze, which urges us to want to travel and spend money on vacations. I have attached a photo of one of my recent vacations that never fails to make me want to do a return trip. With the amazing blue and green, clear waters, the white sandy beaches, and the clear skies, who could ask for more. The picture was taken on Nasseau during my cruise to the Bahamas, and every time that I see it, I want to go back.
