    In the article “Through the Window at Disney: A Lifetime of Brand Desire,” Susan Bennett and Marlis Schweitzer critically analyse a feature of Disneyland: the “Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique.” Bennet and Schweitzer offer detailed descriptions of the boutique while critically responding to the services it provides, such as the Princess makeover. The article gives evidence to suggest that the Princess makeover uses child consumer/models to embody the “Disney fantasy” in a crafty method of “brandscaping” (28, 25). Using this article as a reference, I will critically analyze scenes from Disney animated films such as The Princess and the Frog as well as some relevant Disney products and experiences. I will pay particular attention to the messages being…

    The Girl Who Won For most kids, growing up is pretty tough. For Julia Alvarez, it was even harder. The twisted paths of adolescence became blurred and incredibly confusing to Alvarez after she was, along with her family, forced to leave her native Dominican Republic for the strange United States. This culture shock was difficult to digest at the beginning, but then Alvarez became fueled by the bullies who taunted her accent and the missing pieces that being a “Dominican hyphen American” left in her life (Haley).…

    I recently read the book In the Time of the Butterflies, and was assigned a project that required me to make a mock book cover for the book. I am currently writing you this letter to explain why I did my book cover the way it is. My book cover is a picture of a blue butterfly on a leaf in a forest. First, I choose the picture of a blue butterfly because when I saw the picture, I automatically thought of a tropical place. Since the setting of the book takes place in the Dominican Republic, I thought a tropical butterfly would go great to symbolize the tropical setting of the book.…

    The novel A Cage of Butterflies by Brian Caswell explores how social norms and stereotypes isolate and ostracise people who don’t fit societal standards, through false preconceptions that prevent communication and the immense pressure to conform to societal conventions. Through his characterisation of the think-tank children and his depiction of their treatment from those outside the facility, Caswell successfully communicates the importance of listening to others and overcoming preconceptions to connect with others, and sends a message of hope to teenagers who don’t fit society’s conventions. The preoccupation with oneself due to social stigma and awkwardness as a barrier to communication is an important issue explored within the novel. Self-centredness often leads to the avoidance of those who are different in order to avoid awkwardness, preventing the connection of people and creating an unbreachable divide between them on the basis of lack of communication. Greg’s crippled legs in the novel show how preconceptions create an immediate barrier to communication that can stop a conversation before it even begins.…
