(ENEM - 2021) Back in the ancestral homeland of Michelle Obama, black women were rarely granted the honorific Miss or Mrs., but were addressed by their first name, or simply as gal or auntie or worse. This so openly demeaned them that many black women, long after they had left the South, refused to answer if called by their first name. A mother and father in 1970s Texas named their newborn Miss so that white people would have no choice but to address their daughter by that title. Black women were meant for the field, or the kitchen, or for use as they saw fit. They were, by definition, not ladies. The very idea of a black woman as first lady of the land, well, that would have been unthinkable. Disponvel em: www.nytimes.com. Acesso em: 28 dez. 2019 (adaptado).

(ENEM - 2021) Exterior: Between The Museums - Day CELINE Americans always think Europe is perfect. But such beauty and history can be really oppressive. It reduces the individual to nothing. It just reminds you all the time you are just a little speck in a long history, where in America you feel like you could be making history. Thats why I like Los Angeles because it is so... JESSE Ugly? CELINE No, I was going to say neutral. Its like looking at a blank canvas. I think people go to places like Venice on their honeymoon to make sure they are not going to fight for the first two weeks of their marriage because theyll be too busy looking around at all the beautiful things. Thats what people call a romantic place - somewhere where the prettiness will contain your primary violent instint. A real good honeymoon spot would be like somewhere in New Jersey. KRIZAN, K.

(ENEM - 2021) We are now a nation obsessed with the cult of celebrity. Celebrities have replaced the classic notion of the hero. But instead of being respected for talent, courage or intelligence, it is money, style and image the deciding factors in what commands respect. Image is everything. Their image is painstakingly constructed by a multitude of different image consultants to carve out the most profitable celebrity they can. Then society is right behind them, believing in everything that celebrity believes in. Companies know that people will buy a product if a celebrity has it too. It is as if the person buying the product feels that they now have some kind of connection with the celebrity and that some of their perceived happiness will now be passed onto the consumer. So to look at it one way, the cult of celebrity is really nothing more than a sophisticated marketing scheme. Celebrities though cannot be blamed for all negativeaspects of society. In reality society is to blame. We are the people who seemed to have lost the ability to think for ourselves. I suppose its easier to be told what to think, rather than challenging what we are told. The reason we are swamped by celebrity is because there is a demand for it. Disponvel em: www. pitlanemagazine.com. Acesso em: 7 dez. 2017 (adaptado).
