@SamanthaPrior8 I enjoy seeing how he portrays them. Instead of making the children seem immature and inadequate to understand the real world.

Compared to the other novels read in this class, Gaiman portrays death in a different way. He presents death to be ‘nice’, reflecting that the afterlife allows you to reunite with your dead friends and family. #wlu285

@tlynne098 Yes I totally agree. The media really overshadows this and they hide these females strengths and portray their weaknesses as something bad. #wlu285

They also miss to point out the girls who aren’t starcrazed. As a kid I never had any of the merchandise that these companies produced and was never a fandom of certain movies. Where does that kind of audience sit in the spectrum of the companies making money? #wlu285

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

In this article, the stereotypes of young girls is made to see tween girls as ‘star crazed’ when it in fact the merchandise and the “hype” that the companies make the things out to be. They feed off of how obsessed the girls can be.... (1/2) #wlu285

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

@BaverstockJulia I agree. They portray her as a bully, and typically stereotypes of bullies shows that they pick on kids who they are jealous of and wish were like. Olive is lonely and she sees that Ella has a supportive persons in her corner compared to Olive who seems to have no one. #wlu285

Ellas obedience also reflects the basic stereotype that women should be obedient and submissive. The author does challenge this by giving her free will to break the curse at the end. Showing women don’t always need to be obedient and can have their own mind. #wlu285

@En285Nolan This is a great connection to the series. I honestly thought the same about it. It’s amazing that the authors take these orphaned children and show their strength and give courage to the readers giving children the idea that hope is something to hold onto

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

@BaverstockJulia I do agree with this. When I first began reading it I thought isntantly that it is so similar to The storyline of Cinderella!

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

The representation of the father once again appears to show him being absent from the child’s life. He doesn’t know what to even call her, and he cares more about putting on a front than his own child’s emotions and feeling. #285WLU3

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

When they make Puttanesca instead of roast beef #wlu285

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

@SamanthaPrior8 This is a very good point. Mr. Poe can also resemble how well the foster systems are not being dedicated to the helping of placing children in safe environments.

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

his technique uses the misfortunes of the Baudelaires to show his readers (pre-teens) the scary things that can happen in the real world. It’s transitioning them. For example the children must do things for themselves without relying on adults to come save them. #wlu285

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

@JacobLasby I definitely agree. Especially coming from a small town where everyone keeps tabs on everyone is a lot easier to do instead of being in a big city

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

Harriet casually sipping on her milkshake while listening to everyone convos #285WLU

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

@JacobLasby I agree, she can also be very blunt with the ways she describes the people she observes.

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

@BaverstockJulia This is so true. She observes everything and she is so quick to write it down!

[Nealie Norris @norr5690]

The economic social class shines a bright light when learning about Harriet and her friends. This is quite interesting when we observe their range of lifestyles and it better helps me to see the different types of struggles in each social class and how it’s interpreted #285WLU
