It doesn't have to be the most believable but it needs to make sense. And while I love El and know her look and behaviour match her character. I cringe in other cases when a girl is made into a tomboy only to fit in with boys. Yes they need to be presented but all kinds of boys have friendships with all kinds of girls. Great analysis and MG is not the only genre that can learn to improve through the amazing storytelling of Stranger Things.Sheena-kay Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712661419116636671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-21255066475033750952016-09-23T08:12:08.561-05:002016-09-23T08:12:08.561-05:00oh yes - and all the things I hid from my mother a...oh yes - and all the things I hid from my mother and what I tried (and succeeded at times) to get away with through my friends!DonnaGalantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936331145444649588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-6886952426233679042016-09-23T07:53:36.757-05:002016-09-23T07:53:36.757-05:00Yes, Donna, it really brings back all the emotions...Yes, Donna, it really brings back all the emotions of that age, doesn't it?
