Dora, the main character in the unbelievably popular TV show "Dora the Explorer", is a young girl who embarks on a trip in every episode in order to find something or help somebody. She asks the viewers at home to help her find new ways to reach places with the help of her friend Map. She also teaches viewers Spanish, introducing them to short words and phrases.
Dora has a positive view of the characters she meets, failing even to hold a grudge against the mischievous fox, Swiper, who continually attempts to steal items from her party. She acts against villains only when it seems that compromise is impossible, and even in these cases, fails to display actual anger. She gives others a chance to try their hands at tasks even when she herself might have an easier time with them. Dora values her family, whom she loves openly, though she spends little time indoors at home with them. She tries to introduce her traditions and customs, subtly and without compulsion, to those who are not familiar with them.http://www.doratheexplorertvshow.com/images/dora_explorer_show.jpg

ReplyDeleteDora the explorer is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteShe helps other people, and holds her grudges against other people. And she teaches spanish. Dora is my new role model in cartoons.
