“I was nourished on the milk of American culture: I cleaned the dwarves’ house and waited for prince charming to bring me life”. The reason why I picked this little passage was because it’s basically has to do with my past. As little girl growing up with my father and my mother not being there was a really tough time for me. I was only nine yrs old when my father would say “wokie cook my food, wash my clothes and so on” they claimed that’s the African way of bringing u a child but I wasn’t treated like a child, sometimes I come from school so tired instead of doing my home work I will rather go to the market and buy food stuff to cook. Sometimes when I cook it gets really late and I have no time to do my home work. there was a time that I left for school one morning my father came looking for me in the school to come back home to wash the dirty dishes I had no choice but to go home and wash the dishes but when I was done school was over because he kept a telling me to do other things for him was so happy the day my mother called and said the papers are up and she send for me to come to the united states as in how snow white was rescued by her prince charming. This might also affect young adults of these days that also want to look good like other people on TV. Linda Christensen is being very clear in her story because she’s making the contrast between what stories imagine life to be like and her own present life. This story interest me because she is giving example about her own personal life .it’s also important because it shows us why we live the way we live. it also recognizes the influence on who we think ourselves to be. It’s confusing in a way to say now I realize that I am being influenced by the tv.she also interests me by her writing style .by the way she has all kinds of cartoons and comparing with her life. It’s surprising that am being influenced. parents might disagree because they want their kids to look at the cartoons from an innocent prospective. Movie Company will disagree because she is criticizing their creation and that would affect how much money they make. My paterner and I both agreed that the stepmother was very awful.wealso agreed that it was best for her to leave the time that she left. With the seven dwarfs help, it encouraged her to be the best person she could be.
