Group 1 Discussion Question

Kenny and I were the first group to talk about our article which was about fairytales, and how some stories have been turned around to send different messages. I think fairytales do send out certain messages. Most fairytales send messages to young girls about finding that perfect guy, and making him your prince charming. Sometimes the message isn't always positive. A lot of fairy tales show beautiful women getting the prince at the end, where the ugly girls are usually represented as the evil ones. Also, in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," Belle is walking through town reading a book and the towns people are picking on her, telling her to get her nose out of the book because she could never get a guy like that. That is a really negative message to send out to some girls. Little girls need to know that it is more important to have a brain, and for a guy to love you for who you are on the inside, and not how you are on the outside.
