Theme Week 15: Option 2

Original Piece:
I was having a bit of trouble, trying not to write too literally about a picture of something. First I looked through some photos of mine, but nothing sparked any magic lightening bolts of creativity. So instead, I tried an internet search. I just plugged in one word after another until, I found some material. When I did a google search for the word “woman” 7 out of 28 pictures were pictures of Wonder Woman.

Not all of Wonder Women were the same actresses. Some I don’t think have ever played her character in any film or television program. It made me think, though, about all of her qualities. Why would she appear as many times as she does?
Maybe its because some people think she is the epitome of a woman. She’s incredibly strong, she could lift up a car or even her invisible jet. She can also fly through the air. Her outfit is stylish and well put together. She certainly doesn’t lack in the intelligence department. In the day time, to blend in with humans, she works as a government official. 

I see her traits in a lot of real live women too. Incredible, super human strength especially.


Revision: 
If you do a Google image search the word “woman” 7 out of 28 pictures belong to DC Comic’s Wonder Woman. The dark haired vixen appears in both illustrated form and portrayed by various beautiful actresses and models. 

She possesses a lot of admirable superhuman powers that any modern woman would want. She can fly through the air, saving hours of her life not waiting in traffic. The outfit she wears is never outdated; after all of this time she still dons the same red, white and blue outfit. Her accessories are indestructible and she just happens to carry a Lasso of Truth with her at all times. You know, in case of emergencies. She’s also incredibly strong and could lift up a car or even her invisible jet. 

She certainly doesn’t lack in the intelligence department either. In the day time, to blend in with humans, she works as a government official. As her other persona she is said to have no powers at all. Why is her intelligence left out of the equation? A real Wonder Woman is a woman of great intelligence, who can balance her life with grace. Someone that takes such good care of themselves that they damn well could lift up an invisible jet. Her bracelets may not be indestructible but her spirit is not. 

That’s a woman of wonder.

  1. Ahhh, that new version has real bite--made me smile at its edge and snap. (But maybe that Lasso of Truth makes it hard to get dates with the typical lying hound dogs around?)

    :)

    Actually, it's not a rewrite--it's a whole new and much better take on the topic.
