Image
Since it is holiday already, so I have more time to gather the data and publish this article, which is entitled Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen movie . I analyzed this movie in order to complete the assignment given in Children literature class. But it turned out interesting! I focused only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. Check out the analysis from my paper! The writer analyzes Frozen movie by focusing only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. In order to not broaden it into some theories that may be found in the plot, the writer thinks the misconstrued-performances of the main characters, Anna and Elsa are easily seen and become vast majority start from the beginning until the very end of the movie. But it doesn’t mean other theories are forgotten. Something that the writer immediately thought about when finishing the movie was that Frozen is perhaps the queerest animated film ever produced by Disney–queer as being a theoretical practic...

Ideological Theories in Children Literature

It's been a while, but today, I am so in the mood of sharing what I have just finished learning, a paper about   Ideological Theories in Children Literature. Check it out! INTRODUCTION ‘What? Ideology?

Another example is how the condition of social politic can also be used as the main i...

I just bought a new book; The Princess Diaries: Take Two . This was one of bestseller books in UK 3 years ago. However, the predicate to be bestseller remains for ever (at least for me). Because we are speaking about a book; an influential thing formed in a lot of piece of papers with quite handy dimensions, both physical and mind that would change one's life for ever. This book, entertained me since the very first page I read it. How Meg Cabot can write the stories about the life of a brand-new Princess of Genovia in such a friendly dictions for a foreigner like me, is the reason why I picked this book.
