Assignment 2-2 Icon AnalysisThe icons I decided on, which are quite diverse, are: Snoopy, Cinderella, and Larry Bird.
Snoopy is a cartoon character from the “Peanuts” comic strip and the animated TV shows. He is a black and white beagle and his best friend is Woodstock. Cinderella is a character from the Walt Disney movie “Cinderella.” She is famous for marrying the prince and living “happily ever after.” Larry Bird was a famous basketball player for the Boston Celtics. He was head coach of the Indiana Pacers and is currently president of basketball operations for the Pacers.
I chose Snoopy because I love him and the Peanuts characters. He and his pal, Woodstock, contribute to the show, for the most part, without speaking.
Cinderella is a classic example of the Walt Disney female icon. She is kind and beautiful. I enjoyed watching Larry Bird play basketball. He really worked hard to play a great game. He was known to practice before and after all the other players.
Snoopy represents how important animals are in my life. He was part of the gang just like my animals have been part of my family. (Our golden retriever used to sleep with us).
Cinderella represents what can happen by working hard, being kind to animals and kind to others. She made the best out of the work she had to do by singing through her chores. She was rewarded in the end by marrying the Prince.
Larry Bird shows that hard work (and talent) pays off. He played a sport he loved while making a lot of money. This sounds like the ideal situation. Whenever I see the number “33” I think of Larry Bird.

I think that you chose awesome icons. Well Snoopy and Larry Bird anyhow, I mean I am a guy you know. But they are all awesome all the same. I think that Snoopy is awesome. I think that he is one of the smartest characters on the show. If I miss the Charlie Brown Christmas show I am devasted. I have to wait a whole year to see it again! Larry bird is unmistakenly one of the greatest to ever play the game. Between him and Magic Johnson, they revolutionized the game. I think that they both took it to another level. As far as Cinderella, well she is who she is. I know that my daughters like her and that is good enough for me!
Your selection of Snoopy was a superb icon. When I am lucky enough to find time to read the comics, Snoopy is one of the cartoons I look for and Dilbert is the second. He is such a simple character, but has really left an impact on several generations. To this day we watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas" every December, or sometimes November. Great post, Karen!
