Blog Post 8- Wade Bair

1. How does using a child protagonist in a dystopian society differ from using the typical adult protagonist?

2. Article: Kaplan, Deborah. “Disrupted Expectations: Young/old Protagonists in Diana Wynne Jones's Novels”. Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts 21.2 (79) (2010): 197–209. Web...

3. The article focuses in on the age difference of Protagonists in Diana Wynee Jone's novels and expresses how different children and adults view protagonists. In the opening paragraph before she analyzes the articles she makes a great statement based on the target audience saying depending on your audiences age make the protagonist relatively the same age. I believe she is exactly right because as a reader/viewer of a protagonist you want to see the protagonist being realistic. Overall she makes great points on the age difference in protagonists and how they should be viewed by readers surrounding the age of the target audience.

4. This plays perfectly into my inquiry question as it discusses the age difference in protagonists and how they should be perceived. Not only perceived but she discusses the difference between young and old protagonists.
