Icon Analysis


 
 
 
 
 

My three chosen icons are Sesame Street, Breast Cancer program and NFL.  Sesame Street was and still is an educational program for children to prepare them for pre-school.  The program teaches children the alphabet, numbers, and shapes.  Breast Cancer program is symbolized by a pink ribbon, which advertises the awareness of breast cancer and how we can help fight it.  NFL stands for National Football League.  This league contains the highest professional football teams of the states such as the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys.

 Sesame Street is a program with many different characters such as Ernie and Bert, Big Bird, the Cookie Monster, and Elmo.  These characters along with many others caught the attention of my children as they were growing up.  To get them out of bed in the mornings, all I had to do was tune in to Sesame Street.  It was very educational for my kids and they loved watching it.  I’m glad that it is still a part of public television today.

Breast Cancer is a very serious illness and science is endlessly trying to find a cure.  Because cancer has affected my family, it is important that we as a whole make every effort to help and support the fight for breast cancer.  Wearing the pink ribbon symbol represents your support in campaigning to find a cure to help those individuals that are faced with this terrible disease.

NFL which stands for National Football League is the highest professional league.  I just don’t know what the men in our house would do on Sunday nights or Monday nights and I think now on Thursday nights without their football.  Sometimes, depending on who’s playing, the yelling and hollering that goes on in my living room seems like that there’s 20 guys in the room.  I just don’t get it.  What is so exciting about getting tackled and possibly getting hurt?  I’m not into football at all, but the guys love it and what can I say, only that I’m glad for the extra television set.  NFL, you are a favorite in our home.

  1. Very nice blog Virginia. It was nice how you tied each of these pop culture icons into your family. Each of these icons individually don’t have much in common but the way you describe them and how they relate to your family it is almost as if they belong together. Great choice of topics and great description for each of the icons. Thanks.

  2. Love your blog Virginia. Great iconic examples. My kids grew up on Sesame Street, I love football, and I am a big supporter of breast cancer fundraising as my own mom succumbed to this disease many years ago. I felt very connected to your choices. Thanks for sharing.

  3. I loved Big Bird and Elmo when I was younger, and I hope they are still around when I have kids. They are such fun characters and Sesame Street is not annoying like so many of the cartoons on nowadays. Great choice!
