#8- In Character

1.) Dora the Explorer has had a large impact on our culture because Dora is a Latina and she introduces some children to spanish. She "takes the kids on adventures" and then asks them what type of strategy she should do to solve problems. This allows kids to understand what is right and what is wrong. Going on adventures with Dora also allows kids to learn new spanish words. I think that the character is fascinating because she is like an icon to all kids who watch tv. Dora the Explorer is somtimes misunderstood because some parents feel that their kids want to be exactly identical to Dora.

Bugs Bunny has had an impact on our culture because he is unique to Americans. He has an all around type of personality because he can be a "trickster", a bully, or just plain nice. Most Americans could say that all though Bugs does some crazy things, he stills draws in a great audience because most viewers of his show enjoy watching his crazy stunts/actions. Bugs bunny is fasinating because many viewers watch that show, even some older people. Also I think it is somewhat fascinating that every once and awhile he will quote shakespeare. Bugs Bunny can sometimes be misunderstood because he sometimes contradicts himself.



2.). I think that Harry Potter is a very interesting character to me because he is an all around type of guy. Many people, not just me, are inspired by all his adventures. I think that he has an important impact on culture because many people enjoy reading fantasy and the fact that he is a normal person with special powers is even more interesting. Some characteristics that he possess that are intriguing are that he is smart, creative, and entertaing. Harry Potter is important to our society because he is a huge icons to millions of Americans. Also, he allows Americans to open their mind to a different type of fantasy life.
