Karima's dolls - Lycée Einstein (30)
Dorothy's dolls.
> This matriochka doll is about the grandmother Dorothy, that's why I chose a smily old woman at first.
> Then, we can see Tinker Bell. I think that Dorothy is like her because it's like she's got a "magical power", when she's here, everything is ok.With the pixie, it's the same
thing, with her wand, she changes all bad situations.The link between the two is that everything became beautiful with them.
> Next, there is Mary Poppins.Poppins is a famous nanny. Her and Dorothy are close because they're human and especially they take care of children and all the house. The
Banks' familly needs Mary's help and because of her, parents will understand that their dream dislocates all the familly.It's the same for the Lovatts. Harriet and David want to
have a big familly but the old woman says to them that it's crazy and they realize it at the end.
> Last, I put Super nanny. She controls every thing, she changes parents and children, she's got a strong personnality and imposes her rules. We can say that Dorothy is
the same basically. Also, she's self-asured and is not afraid about nothing.All the familly loves this incredible woman !

Congratulations, I really like your matryoshka doll ! First because a few people had chosen to illustrate Dorothy, whereas she's an important character. I really agree with you vision of this character : first you see an old lady, then she has this aspect of fairy because she manages helping Harriet, and she's like a little fairy in the house, and I think without her Harriet couldn't suceed doing everything alone. Then I suppose the image of Mary Poppins illustrates how children love Dorothy, and how she's like a second mother for them.
But then the picture of super nanny shows us what she really is : a strict woman, giving advises to Harriet about how to educate her children and when I see this picture I think about the passage when Dorothy is totally disapproving Harriet's choice and the fact that she is really in a hurry to have children etc... And in fact all the passages in general where Dorothy epresses her disapproval.
Well anyway, I like your work, and I wait to see your explication to know if my interpretations were right.
