Source 2: Darling Divas Or Damaged Daughters?


1.) Wolfe, Lucy. "Darling Divas Or Damaged Daughters? The Dark Side Of Child Beauty Pageants And An Administrative Law Solution." Tulane Law Review 87.2 (2012): 427-455. Academic Search Complete. Web. 17 Sept. 2013.
2.) What caught my attention the most with this article was the fact that it actually wrote about the Toddlers and Tiaras. I'm always guessing academic journals take years to publish even though 2009 to 2013 is still a bit of stretch. Obviously just by reading the summary of the article, I can tell the author is pretty biased or at least, arguing on the side against child pageants. I wonder if the author is writing for a specific audience - those who share the same ideas or to talk the opposing team into consideration for her stance?
3.) Sources: These are actually a pain in the rear to type down. It's one thing to highlight a printed PDF version, and then another to actually retype everything on paper onto a computer. Especially if it's a few sentences long...

4.) Reviewing the article, I noticed some strong language in the article: 'child pornography, gender discrimination, mid drift exposure..." the whole nine yards. The author made some good points, but the way she wrote made me think she might be a little too bias for the paper. Is that alright? Too bias?
