Disney
I am going to begin by saying this was a very difficult read. It was interesting to see the portrayal of disney in this light, but it also makes for a very controversial piece. I think one of the main points that the author is trying to portray encompasses the idea that even seemingly harmless aspects of our world can be evil. Its harsh and is usually met with much rebuttal, but I applaud the author for essentially breaking apart Disney and its movies. My personal experience with the disney classics is just like most others' in this class. This excerpt takes somewhat of a harsh tug on our childhood but it is interesting to say the least. The word choice that the author uses to describe disney allows for a whole different perspective. The author claims Disney is a machine and almost personifies Disney as a human who makes mistakes.
