So i read this chapter for our praise poem but never blogged on it. Ya know, its sad. I grew up LOVING disney movies and cartoons, man, definetly the greatest... mostly I just loved the catchy songs. I still love musicals just for that.. well not just, but dfeinetly a plus. It was sad coming to college and taking many Womens Studies courses (another how many credits that would not go towards my major or minor... therefore the 5 years in college)showing the sexism andd racism in the cartoons. I dont exactly that it teaches them "how to act, live and dream" but i do think we all could say we want a "fairy tale" ending and would say that was Cinderella or some other of that sort. I liked that this was not only about cartoons, but about critiquing the media... showing that what is in tv or the movies arent always right.
Praise poems... I cant even imagine how hard that would have been in high school. I remember an english teaching in high school asking to write down things we liked about ourselves... and I'm pretty sure I only wrote down one thing, and that was that I was good at sports. Now thats pretty sad. Its not that I had extremely low self-esteem I just never looked at myself or my life and thought "now what is good about myself." Like it says, we really never were taught to do that, its "bragging."
