In the last lesson, Jo and I talked with Annie. Why is Annie a white girl? In the remake Annie movie, Annie is played by black girl. If Harry Potter is Asian, what do you think of it? and so on. So in this reaction, I want to talk as follows; the content of article, the story of Annie and my opinion about black Annie.

First, many people protested Annie For Target (TGT) to remove the ad. TGT is a company which partnered with the costume designer for the new Annie movie and began selling clothes like Annie’s wear. The store prepared 26 tights, jeans, dresses, shirts and accessories ranging from $4 to $30. But their ads show some of pretty white girl models. The protestors said that these misleading ad are bad for girls with various backgrounds and the company should apologize to Wallis, black Annie.

We should pay attention to what people protest. They protest that TGT’s ad is immoral, not why Annie is a black girl or a white girl.

Second, I want to review the story of Annie. In the recession around 1930, Annie is a young orphan girl who must live in a miserable orphanage run by the terrible Miss Hannigan. Her hopeless situation changes dramatically when she is selected to spend a short time at the residence of the wealthy gentleman, Oliver Warbucks. Quickly, she attracts the hearts of the household staff and even the seemingly cold-hearted Warbucks cannot help but learn to love this wonderful girl. He decides to help Annie find her long lost parents by offering a reward if they would come to him and prove their identity. However, Miss Hannigan, her evil brother, Rooster, and a female accomplice, plan to impersonate those people to get the reward for themselves. Their trial result to fail and Annie is adopted by Warbucks as happy end after she noticed that her parents had died several years before.

This is the short summary. I have not seen this musical and only know the famous song “tomorrow”. I would like to watch both classic musical and remake movie.

Third, my opinion about this article is for petitioners. That is because their principle is valuable and should be sticked for every part such as ad. This remake is revolutionary for recently racism. In the past, the days of fierce racism, I cannot imagine that the original musical with a white girl heroine is remaked with a black girl. The challengeof remake is should be appreciated. But TGT lacked careful consideration. Usually, fashion model is played by white people. This company obsessed by the notion. The real aim should be fashion for various races and they should employ diverse type of models.
