My opinion on Doctor Who being a woman- News segment- Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

 Growing up, I have always been watching Doctor Who. I would watch it after Strictly just to stay up a little later (lol). I would watch the Christmas specials etc. I think it's fair to say that I'm a bit of a fan. But what has upset me the most recently was the fact that they changed the Doctor to being a woman. For years on end, families and children have been watching a male actor as the Doctor and no one cared about it then. Subsequently, I am a little bit confused as to why people care so much now. Technically, the Doctor can change into anything he wants to be wether that is a woman or an animal. But the reason as to why he was neither of those things for so long was because it fit into the story better to be a male.  The production team of Doctor Who isn't trying to offend people they are just trying to do their job which is to make an entertaining program. I was so disappointed with the new episode that aired before the results on Strictly. This program has got nothing to do with politics so I'm a little concerned by them drawing politics in and bringing a feminist ideology. No one has changed Romeo and Juliet to being two women, no one has changed has changed Harry Potter to being a female because that is not the story. It is just what is authentic to the story and what is authentic and classic about Doctor Who is that its a different male each time. I didn't get offended by it and other women didn't too. But for those who did, ask yourself the question "is it really offensive?"

 What are your opinions on this subject? Let me know in the comments below and I will be sure to reply to them.

 See you next time,

 Bye,

 XOX,Juliette

    I watched Dr. Who for many years when it was shown here in the U.S. Unfortunately it was taken off (too expensive to buy it) but I was never offended by the Dr. being a male. I don't think I could watch it with a female character. I am so in agreement with you. Some things should just be left alone. And not everything needs to have a feminist agenda. I hope the Dr. regenerates back into a male soon! (I was a huge Tom Baker fan. I even knit myself a Dr. Who scarf!)

A diary entry from me: Working in groups: failures and good lessons learnt - 1 Year To Get To College (Post 14) - Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  This week has been challenging so far. From Monday, I feel like a lot of things went wrong. This is a natural process, things can go wrong for everyone and we just have to learn to deal with the problems and adapt to them.  For the past probably month and a bit, I've been struggling my way through my own dance that I came up with in my group and unfortunately, sufficient progress hasn't been made. This was mostly due to our complicated ideas. The theme of our piece was We Live and We Learn and we had to come up with a routine that represented the diversity of people within our local community, under that title. Our original idea was to talk about basically everyone (LGBTQ, different cultures, and the poor) through the mediums of different dance styles. From the beginning, I wasn't really 100% on the overall theme of our ideas; I thought that maybe it could work but everything just seemed a bit cluttered and I thoug

I'm going to Berlin tomorrow (thoughts, queries, worries, and things i'm excited about) - Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I mentioned this briefly before but tomorrow, I'll be going on a history trip with my school to Berlin, Germany. I am SUPER excited but also a little anxious on how I'm going to cope with the drive there. Since my school does not like taking planes for residential trips, I will be taking, I think a 20 hour bus drive to Berlin. I'm a deep sleeper so I hope I'll just be sleeping on the journey there the majority of the time but I know that sitting up-right for 20 hours is not fun. I mean I've never experienced it before but I've been on an 11 hour aeroplane journey to Réunion and I was aching throughout the entire thing. So I guess all I can say is, wish me luck? However, once we get there, I think we'll be visiting Brandenburg Gate,an early 1930s work camp, and Hitler's Bunker on the last day, which I'm super excited to visit because I'm a history geek like that. Lol. What is really annoying
