Purpose of that section
P = POINT
What is the point of the paragraph? What claim is being made? This is your topic sentence.
Point:
Most of the parents ride the kid's emotion of their kids based on the gender.
I = INFORMATION
Where is the point supported with specific experiences, quotes, data or other material?
This is your evidence used to support/develop the point…
Info:
Bratz dolls: exaggerated eye make up, big lips, styled hair, which most women don’t have
"The Mask You Live In " Joe Ehrmann mentioned in the film that " my earliest memory was my father bringing me down to my mother's basement, put up his hands and teaching me how to throw jabs and punches. It was there that he gave me those three words: " Be a man . Stop with the tears , stop with the emotions.If you are going to be a man in this world , you better learn how to dominate and control people and circumstances."
Brenda Hunter’s comment about the forced maturity these dolls promote, in Eve Pearlman’s article “Families and Parents Help Girls Go Beyond Stereotypes”: “Brenda Hunter, executive director of Conejo Valley Neighbor-hood for Learning [observes] “You see leopard skin outfits for five-year-olds—parents say they have a hard time finding good choices. (Girls) get really caught up in appearance, bringing out a ‘sexual object’ approach before they even know what that means. I don’t want to see a little five-year-old shaking her bootie” (paragraph 11).
E = EXPLANATION
Where does the writer elaborate, evaluate, interpret or explain why or how this information connects to the point? What does the information provided mean? (where the writer analyzes the point)
Explanation:
How does that facial appearance make women feel like they need to put on a front? Because the only way to look like Bratz dolls is by re-constructing a face, which means that their own face is not enough. (Need to explain more - this is just the gist)
As Hunter suggests, the changes these girls make to look like the dolls pushes them into maturity they are not ready for. (Need to explain more - this is just the gist)
Here we will brainstorm as many gender codes/expectations/rules/misconceptions/stereotypes as we can to generate possible ideas to pursue in the essay:
Codes/rules/expectations for males:
· Males are soft if they are sensitive
· Men must always be tough to be a manly man
· Males must be the providers/breadwinners
· Males can’t like to read or write because it’s not considered tough
· Males can’t show emotions because that would be a sign of weakness
Codes/rules/expectations for females:
· Women need to look sexy in order to be beautiful.
· Girls should always be polite.
· Females need to be decorated in order to be beautiful or feminine.
Codes/rules/expectations for folks who are non-binary:
· People who identify as nonbinary are confused.
· People who are nonbinary had a traumatic childhood.
· Males who like female trappings are gay.
