You are right, that is the perfect example of how society constructs what appropriate gender roles are!<br />Gross!!<br /><br />--AnisaEnglish 580 Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651047626416891555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648441142327111081.post-15952996503533274642010-03-12T12:12:24.690-08:002010-03-12T12:12:24.690-08:00Anisa,

Putting the images to Catherine's transformation allows us to visualize what she looks like. The transformations are an integral part of the novel, and with every change made by Catherine, we became more interested in her character. I think the reason we all loved Catherine so much is because she broke the categories and dared to be different! I also think the Barbie aspect is hilarious and interesting, because it shows us that society really does place norms upon us, and the Barbie website doesn't want little girls to have dolls with short hair cuts!!!<br /><br />-TedEnglish 580 Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651047626416891555noreply@blogger.com
