Help!

[Helen]

I'm undertaking my Higher School Certificate (the big set of exams at the end of school) in Australia this year, and for my major work for Extension 2 English, I want to do an investigative analysis of how characters in the muppets fulfil certain societal roles - what is the underlying meaning of the muppet characters - what lies under the surface, that we're actually teaching our children. Don't be worried that I plan to overanalyse or be extra-critical of the muppets - I love them to death, and I'll probably make a fairly lighthearted speech from the information I gather. I wondered if anybody could help with some fairly solid suggestions about what they consider the muppet characters to represent - I'll probably do the major ones - kermit, piggy, gonzo, fozzie, rowlf... you get my drift.

Thanks, Helen

Sounds great! I never even thought of bringing the muppets into the HSC what a great idea. I did mine last year. Good Luck!
