I think what the author is trying to do is let her audience know that nobody is perfect and if you strive your whole life to have a the perfect body and look like your favorite celebrity or supermodel that you"re going to get nowhere in this world because those women aren't what they seem to be. "Its true, as Naomi Wolf wrote in her 1991 book The Beauty Myth, that computer imaging- the controversial new technology that tampers with photographic reality-has been used for years in women's" magazines beauty advertising." There is your proof that even supermodels have flaws and have to have their pictures altered.
The author uses a tone of voice that resembles to maybe someone who is frustrated with something. It seems to me as though she is sick and tired of hearing about how all these women on television and on magazines have the most perfect bodies and they are more superior to everyone else because of the way that they look. You can tell her tone is one of someone who is frustrated when she says, "The outrage isn't surprising. Feminists have long decried the alchemy employed to created women of Barbie doll proportions, charging that such images cause men to objectify women, and contribute to the lack of female self-esteem that leads to depression, eating disorders, and the operating table.
Throughout the essay "GAME OVER" the author uses all three forms of appeals. One of the first forms of appeals that she uses is pathos. She begins by joking about how her and Lara Croft have more than a few things in common by saying they share the same interests and share similar physical attributes. Then when she gets to comparing her breasts to Lara Crofts things take a change and she says, " But while Lara's 34Ds unwaveringly float mid-bicep, I, like most women, rely on an armada of brassieres to ballast what nature never intended skin to buoy." You can see that she is using pathos because she is taking some of her personal experiences and relating them to other women's personal experiences by saying that like most women we cant run around doing back flips and not have our breast move the slightest bit.
