Discuss at least three texts on our course . A topic is very general just a subject. However, this is not true of all children's literature. This emasculates the prose and, I suspect, bores the reader.
Children are game for anything.
I throw them hard words, and they backhand them over the net. They love words that give them a hard time, provided they are in a context that absorbs their attention. Some scholars think that boys in our culture are brought up to define their identities through heroic individualism and competition, particularly through separation from home, friends, and family in an outdoors world of work and doing, while girls are brought up to define their identities through connection, cooperation, self-sacrifice, domesticity, and community in an indoors world of love and caring. Analyze at least three texts on our course to determine to what extent these stereotypes of masculinity and femininity are being interrogated and even subverted. But it is not only in Wonderland and the Looking Glass World that child protagonists suffer identity crises.
