Revised Response Essay- Princess Daisy by Judith Krantz

Have you ever dream to belong to the high life of glamour and luxury? Undoubtedly, everyone has been day-dreamer to this fancy world. Even though, some people refuse to admit it, each of us we feel a little bit jealousy. Nowadays, it is generally admitted that a person who has plenty money can achieve his social classification and give precedence to dominate in society. Does really matter if you are appearance or you are beauty is necessary in order to reach on the top and succeed in life?
According with Judith Krantz in her text book “Princess Daisy” she considers that a woman who has money and beauty are necessarily of woman’s succeeding in life. She emphasize that “being young, beautiful and rich is more desirable than being old, ugly and destitute”. She concern that only beautiful woman deserves the high social class instead of less elegant or ugly woman. Therefore, she mentions about Princess Daisy of her text to point out the importance of the appearance of such a person who deserve to belong to the high class. Due to the fact that, one Princess should be always looking beautiful to draw everyone’s glanced. Additionally, Krantz expresses her admiration in the high social life since her whole story is associated with capitalistic elements. She referred to the particular polo sport which is symbolizes the aristocratic status; because only the people who belong to high class can have the opportunity to play this sport. In addition, she give emphasizes in details while she describe that the menu has a brown and gold border in order to make a point of the first class restaurant. She shows that she admire that she belong to the aristocratic circle of plentitude materials. All the above, Krantz declared her admiration to the capitalistic system as many people of the high social life do. This system is encourages private investment and includes integral part to thrive the economic growth of a country. Krantz represents female view while she describes how woman’s world should be looks like.
On the contrary, Clive James through his book “A Blizzard of Tiny Kisses” is virtual judge her book in ironic manner because she show off the aristocracy life. Hence, in the beginning of his judgment, he said that “she deserves her high place in the best-seller lists” although he said in harsh way that is “a terrible book and totally inept.” Clive raises his contradiction towards Krantz due to the fact that she gets enthusiasm with the exclusiveness of the upper class. Over his judgment he point out that the people should not show their intimacy because is concern with the aristocracy and glamour. Furthermore, Clive said that “Mrs. Krantz has not enough humor to write tongue-in-check, but other people are perfectly capable of reading that way”; he emphasize that the particular book you might look at it with two perspectives. Therefore, the readers’ who are membership of the aristocracy life they will not look at it in ironic manner as she presents the glorious life. However, the readers who are not possessed to the high class they probably read the book in ironic way and despise it while are not familiar with this flashy world. Krantz’s literary writing has luck of humor as long as she describes the high class with not ironic consideration. Clive judge Krantz book with this manner because he represents the leftish doctrine. He regards the social change to become equal in terms of wealthy distribution rather than rule with the private property. Besides, he correlated his self feminist because he stands as woman’s defender. Despite the fact, a woman with not good looking is also deserved to belong to the high class. He totally disagrees with Krantz because she creates a snob image of the high social class. He believed that the intelligent people who are dreamers for this life should not obstruct them for their dream. In the whole text, he shows that he is not interest to join this kind of world.
I agree at some extend with Clive that she spoilt the ambition to the ordinary people into vague image for those who want to keep dreaming of this kind of life. On the other hand, I believe that a woman should be have a good looking but not necessarily beautiful. It’s a woman’s nature to care about she’s appearance. It is well known fact that many women who are celebrities such as singers, models, politician and journalists own to care and keep their selves appearances well. “Women as a sweeping generalization base their ideal of appearance on what the media shows them that they ought to like.” Many times I heard about that, celebrities have made plastic surgery in order to look youngest and keep fit their selves. Nevertheless, Krantz suppose that a rich woman should be spending money to plastic surgery so that is looking youngest. Although, Clive does not agree that woman should do this things because the ordinary people may want to imitate them. Most of people who belong to low social class are often admire the people who belong to the upper class because they regard them as a model.
Ultimately, be a wealthy or not is not really matter. A woman’s appearance is really essential because is integral part in their life. Everyone knows that a woman with good looking is always being enviable and charming. Woman’s nature is to dedicate their time by take care their selves and becomes object of men’s admiration. Money must be funny in a woman’s world because they can spend it for their appearance. Even if a woman is not enough beautiful or elegant is deserve to succeed to her life. Everybody has the equal opportunity to succeed to life even if is not beautiful, rich or young. As Krantz said, “is a working woman in a man’s world. If there’s one common theme in my novels, it’s a woman succeeding”.
