In Character

1) Barbie always made little girls feel older. Barbie was their best friend; they could take here everywhere and she wouldn't complain or talk back. Barbie was a role-model for little girls; they aspired to be her! She however, was completely unproportional. If she were an actual size person, Barbie would have had a 36-inch waist, and a size 18 waist! Now they have made Barbie more to look like an actual person, more proportionate, and made her a better role model. Barbie has tried to stay "classy" while new characters are being introduced as a little more sexy.

2) Pollyanna was a girl who always had a good outlook on life. Some scholars say that the Pollyanna Principle is when you look for the bright side and hope for the best! Some people believe that her outlook on life is not able to fit into American society. Pollyanna hits a note in a lot of people as being the girl next door type. Also in the video when she fell and paralyzed herself, people thought that it was sad and yet could happen to everyone.

3) Tracy Turnblad from the movie and play Hairspray is a character that is important to our society because she never let anything get her down. She stands for equality of race and for people to be proud of who they are no matter what they look like big or small. People can admire her because she actually tries to be a good role model!
