English 2033E Lecture 1: Peter Rabbit
Document Summary
Some of the strategies potter throws in to get us to see peter as individualistic: flopsy, mopsy and cotton tail are assumed to be girls, peter is dressed in a blue jacket, whereas flopsy, mopsy and cotton tail are in pink dresses, peter is told to gather blackberries like the others, but he chooses a more dangerous path, stereotypes of masculinity and femininity are followed by this story, girl rabbits are shown in the pictures looking up and listening to their mother.
