Icon Analysis
Winnie the PoohWinnie the Pooh started off on pages of paper. He began as a character in a book and later became animated through the efforts of Walt Disney. Pooh is the ring leader of his other furry friends, Piglet (his best friend), tigger (always messing things up), Rabbit (planner), Eeyore (always sad), owl (wisdom), Kanga (motherly), Roo (child innocents). I chose Winnie the Pooh because he meant so much to me growing up and then to my children. The animals of the hundred acre woods offer different personalities to show how to love and support each other thru many issues. And, if you work really hard you just might get some honey.Picture: http://www.hindu.com/yw/2009/01/13/stories/2009011350520400.htm
Superman
Superman has been around for many years. This super hero started in comic books then moved to cartoons, television series, and motion picture movies. Superman stands for truth, justice and the American way. This not only shows that good triumphs over evil, but that we will struggle but as long as we are good we will win. I chose Superman because we all need keep in mind that good can triumph over evil. The more we think it and try then evil can’t take over society. Superman means to me good, strength, loyalty, caring, hard working all characteristics that I try to maintain.

Biggest LoserThe Biggest Loser is a reality television series in their seventh season on NBC. The show premise is to have morbidly obese people come to a secluded designation for a competition to lose weight. The contestants work out with personal trainers everyday and then compete for privileges like phone calls or being safe from elimination during the weekly weigh-in. I chose this because we are very over weight nation. This show shows that no matter how big you are you can lose weight and be healthy. Though I am not large like the people on the show I do struggle with losing weight. I feel it does keep me motivated by keeping the thoughts of healthy lifestyle in my life.

I really liked your post. I loved watching Winnie the Pooh when I was younger. I love how you commented on each of their "role" in the show. I never stopped to think about that. It's funny how television writers go through great lengths to make these story lines and children sometimes are just now capable of grasping the adult concepts.
