OHNO! Cinderella Ate My Daughter

Arguement:
 
In Cinderella Ate My Daughter, the author Peggy Orienstien argues that both young boys and girls are influenced by the toys that they are surrounded by. She continues to argue about how girls feel that they must be, look, and act a certain way because of their influences. Peggy goes on and states how Disney, Nickelodeon and different toy industries influence young girls and boys. She talks about how these young kids see the characters in tv living there life without a flaw of any sort, but thats not how the real world really works. 
She goes on and talked about the influence Barbie has had on young girls over the years of her existence. I know that when I was a little girl I was always playing with Barbie dolls. I used to imagine my life just as perfect has hers with this big shot career and a very handsome husband. As I got older I realized life does not work the way I thought, and in order to get what I want, I have to work extremely hard for it. 
This also goes hand in hand with the Disney Princesses. The lessons given in those movies are that all you have to do is sit and wait, and if you wait long enough your prince will come knocking at your door. Yes these movies are great for young girls to watch because of its happy ending, but it is giving them the complete wrong aspect on life.
