After a considered amount of thought, Cuddly could no longer deal with the frustration. He was never a bear of violence but his ability to remained neutral wore thin. He wanted things to be civil and for people to express themselves respectfully. This was not the case for Rosita's parents. They acted like chimpanzees with each other. They scream, broke things and when they felt tired, they shush each other saying something about their lawyer. "Rosita was not property" cuddly said to himself after witnessing one more brawl. He felt Rosita was not a thing lawyer could discuss and tired of being quiet about the whole ordeal decided to put his war education to use. With his Molotov in hand he yell "lawyer me this!" to the S.W.A.T team. When the smog disperse everyone wanted nothing to do but cuddle.
My picture is from the stencil artist Banksy. Some "dude" from Britain. I think he represents Bakhtin well. His art is a kind of satire that makes us think about some social issues a different way. In the picture for example, the bear is a symbol of childhood and is placed next to the special police force. One cant help by feel two totally different emotions. They contradict each other and make us see things differently. It is not clear if Banksy is mocking our values as a society or he indeed is asking us if we truly know our values. If we want our children to lived in a safe place why do we approve of guns and violence?
