Holly Blackford explores how these girls construct meaning and discusses her findings in the context of English education. Num Pages: 192 pages. BIC Classification: CFC; JNS; JNU. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 228 x 161 x 13. Weight in Grams: 274.
Language and Literacy Series The author analyzes the way the girls discuss pleasure in becoming the eye of the reader, use film to decode the genres of literature, master forms such as fantasy and Gothic, describe the differences between reading and viewing films, and identify only with animal rather than human characters. Blackford intertwines the vivid voices of her girl respondents with her own story of moving beyond her feminist and multicultural assumptions of how children are shaped by the stories we tell in literature.
