dora's ever lasting memory
“Dora the Explorer” started being made in the late 1990’s and first aired in 2000, but before it aired, a lot went on. The creators of the show were told to come up with the next BIG hit, finally they came up with a girl who really engaged with the audience, explored, and was a Latina. Some of the writers wanted her to have a single culture, but ultimately they decided to make her multi cultural to ensure that all kids with Latinx backgrounds can relate to Dora. When they finally completed Dora the Explorer and it aired, it was immediately a big hit. Later in the interview they asked people from that period of time when it first came out how it affected them and almost every answer was that it made them feel safe. My point here is that people who are white and watched this show just thought that it was entertainment but it had a purpose, to make a impact on young latinx kids. Now i’ll challenge you the next time you see Dora on tv don’t think of it as entertainment but instead think of it as a show that makes an impact.

It was more like a summary instead of "talking" on paper. I just feel like it should have been more of him talking to someone instead of just writing a boring summary. When Mr. Hopper said a blog he meant to be creative and even made us look at the definition of clever, and he kind of made it boring.
ReplyDeleteI really like your story and talking about how dora was doing whyen they published it to america, but I also kinda agree with emma about how it was like a summary and I feel like you copied off the story. I really like your question about dora

ReplyDeleteYour blog was more of like a summary of how the show became big and the thoughts put into the show like how the show was going to be about a single culture but than they made him for all the people with the latinex background. That is still only one culture. Next time I think that you should add more details on what happened to the show to make it so big. I also really like you question about dora.
