Among the princesses we discussed in class, I think Merida is a best role-model for girls  for following reasons.
 First, she is more independent then other princesses. Snow white, cinderella, and other princesses depend on men, and think that they would be hapy if they meet prince. But Merida is different. She doesn not depend and men. she figures out things by her self. But look at other princesses. They always depend on men. This can lead to making girls think that they should depend on men, and then they will be happy like other princesses. This is the biggest difference between Merida and other princesses.
 Second,  Merida has differences than other princesses. Merida is not pretty as other princesses. In fact, she is a  bit ugly. If all princesses are pretty, girls might think that only pretty people can be kind and live a happy life. Another difference is her hobby. Merida's hobby is to go outside and play, shooting arows and practicing riding horses, while other princesses are like sawing things, and picking flower. So she has different thinkings about having a hobby.
 For these reasons, I think Merida is the most positive role model for girls.
