Is Barbie a Good Role Model For Girls? Barbie dolls are the most popular toys for young girls. Parents choose Barbie as a mentor for their daughters as they grow up. In the essay, “You Can Never Have Too Many,” Jane Smiley discusses her experience with Barbie dolls. In addition, she witnesses her daughters grow up with Barbie influence.
Giovanny Sanchez May 5, 2012 Ms. Collins Barbie’s World In everyone’s childhood there is always that one special non-living figure in their personal lives, a figure we admired, something we looked up to be, like an idol. In “You Can Never Have Too Many,” Jane Smiley thanks Barbie for the effect she had on her daughter’s lives as they were growing up to be young adults; by teaching them the feminine side of woman at an early stage, which ultimately allowed their minds to have a lot more options when it really came down to figuring out who they wanted to be at an adult stage. Smiley however, does not effectively support this argument because she gives a lot of credit to Barbie for the way her daughters turn out to be but she’s forgetting
The names Mattel and Fisher Price have become a staple in many American households and throughout the globe. Mattel is one of the most known toy producers along with its affiliate Fisher-Price. Formed in 1945 as the love child between its founders, Harold Matson, and Elliot Handler. Not until 1959 would Mattel receive its commercial status through the release of the Barbie doll. Barbie would become an icon that would change the world of toy manufacturing, and become an unlikely role-model that would change the way a generation of little girls would think and aspire.

In the poem, the speaker states the girlchild has “wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy” (4), showing that she already wants to alter her appearance. As children grow into young adults, they become aware of outside judgments; as the girlchild was made aware in the poem. “Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said:/ You have a great big nose and fat legs” (5-6). Girls are pressured into looking the way media portrays beauty. Unfortunately, outward appearances take on a more important role than other characteristics to teenage girls.
Piercy analyzes the girl from birth and uses a detached, expecting tone to portray her normality. In lines two through five Piercy creates a bitter tone when talking about the toys her parents presented her as a child. Piercy's tone can also seem as if she is disgusted because she talks about the “dolls that did pee pee” and uses a sarcastic alliteration when she said “lipsticks the color of cherry candy” (2-4). At this point it is clear the child is a toddler or in adolescence since she plays with these toys that little girls are expected to pay with at that age. The first stanza abruptly ends with “You have a great big nose and fat legs.” (6).
Claire McCardell was born in Frederick, Maryland on the 24th of May 1905 and passed away on the 22nd of March 1958. In her 53 years on this earth she changed the face of fashion, as we knew it. Acknowledged as the creator of the American look, Claire helped to steer the American fashion industry away from the mainly French inspired designs of the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s. Born into a wealthy family, Claire took an interest in sports and fashion in her childhood years and enjoyed cutting out figures from her mothers fashion magazines and making paper dolls from them. In her teenage years she began sewing her own clothes.

It was a stone structure made to house only 40 inmates. The huge door in the front dates back to 1811, so do the locks. Nothing has been changed on the building since it was closed in 1965.
According to WBEZ91.5, in 2010 a satellite imaging study identified 359 green roofs in the city. When the beehives were first installed by Mayor Daley back in 2003, there were fewer than 10,000 bees. “Now, the total of number of bees buzzing about the garden tops 160,000. City Hall collects between 50-200 pounds of honey per hive during each of the two annual harvests. The honey is packaged and sold at a downtown farm stand.” (Helmer) In March 2011, the last building in Cabrini Green was demolished.
DS: Over 20,000 worldwide. There are over 3000 hospitals in the U.S. that offer maternity services, of those, only 5% have achieved BFHI status. In developing countries, we will estimate 900 deaths due to not breastfeeding, which is clinically insignificant when the U.S. does approximately 4.3 million births per year. TR: Do you think becoming a baby-friendly hospital will alienate the mothers who can’t or have no desire to
