Barbie is My Favorite Doll When I was a little girl, I thought nothing in the world could delight me more than a Barbie doll. She has often stayed with me in spirit and acted like a model for me to follow, when I have grown in my childhood. Indeed, Barbie doll is like a life-like figure, who stimulated my imagination, encouraged me to move on when I felt sad, enlightened me when I was in the dark. Interesting, Barbie doll was also my faithful friend, always lending its ear to listening to my…

A theme is the central topic a text treats like the authors message to the reader , ¨Themes can be divided into two categories.´´ there can be many themes in a story. In the Book that i read ´´The girl on the milk carton´´ the theme is that Not everything is as it seems Also the theme of fantasy and versus reality.

Updike puts the three girls in bathing suits instead of regular attire to draw everyone's attention towards the girls, especially in a sexual way for Sammy. Sammy wouldn't have made the final decision to quit if the girls were in…

Some yelled at us to hurry up (even though it was literally pitch black and we could not see…

I am a girl. I have always been a girl, have always seen myself as a girl, and hold onto being a girl as a part of my identity. For most of my life, this identity has not had a profoundly negative nor positive impact on how I live. I have the privilege of having grown up in liberal Sonoma, where my being a girl did not automatically make me lesser. I played Co-Ed soccer until I was 10, was given the same opportunities to learn as the boys in my classes, and never had anyone other than a…

In “The problem with separate toys for girls and boys” Hains explains that gender rigid toys negatively impact children’s psychological development. That is the case she claims, because this marketing strategy tells children who they should be, how they should behave, and what they should be interested in. However, children are supposed to use play as a way to try on new roles, experiment, and explore interests (Hains 2015). Another problem is that gendered toys are causing children to stop…
