Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality;” Rex and Mary Rose Walls lived by this quote.

More recent animated films evolve from this common trope by situating their plot and characters in a childish setting of insurrection.

In the novels, We The Animals by Justin Torres and Soledad by Angie Cruz the narrators’ relationship to men is influenced by the behavior and interactions with their families. The role that men play in the life of the unnamed narrator in We The Animals is based around his coming to terms with his sexuality, and how his sexuality makes him an outsider within his family. Likewise, in the novel Soledad, the titular character’s perception of men is shaped by not only her family, but also Dominican culture.
