I would like to comment on the reading about the Girls Rock Camp. I think that the Girls Rock Camp was a great idea. It sounded great in the reading; however I was glad we were shown the documentary film in class, because it gave me a visualization of what the reading was trying to explain. I mean learning about what Misty does for these children during the reading was great. I guess I just wanted to emphasize how beneficial the film was to actually see the wonders Misty was talking about in the assigned reading. I am sure that all girls have felt the way Misty described feeling when she was not allowed to play in a band with boys. It may not pertain to music, but I am sure every woman can relate to being told they cannot do something because they were a woman. I think she has done so much for girls, to give them the confidence they need to do something others might not believe can be done. She was influenced by Ladyfest, which I attached a link if others are interested to see what it is about. It is also a somewhat toned down spinoff of Riot Grrrl Revolution too. I guess I cannot stress enough just how great things like the Camp Rock for girls that Misty does is. It is just what girls need growing up in this influential and pressured world.
I agree, it was nice to get the visual in addition to the reading because it really made more of an impact. Plus rockcamp can relate to everything even if it isn't with music just like you said because I know there have been things that I was told I can't do.
