There are many instances in which the media has affected Otiz's story. In one instance the media offers her a product that will help her succeed in her gym class and gain weight in order to look more like wonder woman. This was potentially a negative interaction with the media because it influenced her to change her body to fit certain characteristics that were not natural. Her mother recognized this and refused to buy this product for her. She is also affected by her encounter with Santa Clause because Christmas is an important holiday and this experience altered her view on the world. The media also affects the ideas of large groups of individuals as illustrated by the story of Tim, where it is unknown whether or not Tim's father knew the Puerto Rican army, but it is very likely that he did not and was rather acting upon a disposition placed within him by the media. This allowed for a large impact on the lives of the entire family.
