In this picture we see a picture of a baby doll, but what we don't realize is that when little girls play with babydolls, they are just not playing but learning as well.I chose to take the picture at a child's eye level in order to see what they see, and how babydolls help girls become well-rounded women. A babydoll symbolizes a lot such as, the roles of motherhood. Little girls who play with babydolls usually mimic what they see their own mothers doing with them or younger siblings. Girls that play with babydolls also learn to be caring, nurturing and loving Mothers as well as being well-rounded adults. In high school babydolls even show up, I mean think about baby-think-it over in parenting class teaches us what it is like to be parents and it also teaches us to practice safe sex.

This photo can also represent how the media portrays women and their roles. Starting when we are little girls, the media, our peers, and family show us to how act as “real” women and to take care of our children and homes. This can put a lot of pressure on young women to want to fulfill these expectations. A baby doll can represent innocence, and a teen girl’s innocence is taken away when she has a baby. The dark background can represent the dark times and struggles that a teen mother goes through. Also, the pink/floral outfit the baby is wearing represents gender expectations. Because the baby is a girl, society expects to see her wearing “girl” clothes, which she is.
This photo demonstrates little girls to be mothers and care takers of there family in the future. We get it from family, peers and media knowing that when girls get older they have a better perspective on being mothers and taking care of their children. It's like parents teach thier little girls to change a babies diaper, cahnge there clothes, etc.
This photo to me implicates that indeed a doll is very influential upon a child's life, however, I do not disagree with the fact of children always obtaining that nurturing and caring characteristic when playing with dolls. I think that children mimic what they see within their households and some of which contain harsh abuse from physical to mental, then these children act out on their dolls by throwing them, saying mean things and or just totally neglecting them because they are unsure of what to do with them.
