No real challenges in the book, it's mostly just talking about how the most "tortured" childrens toy is Barbie and that it's really common for kids to destroy them after they've played with them. No actual challenge or consequence.

No one really changes, I mean I guess Barbie changed the toy industry and Ruth Handler changed the world with her ideas. Ruth had to "overcome" people who didn't like barbie and tried to shut her down.

I think the theme of this book is probably something like everyone has their own opinions or women empowerment or idk sexism is bad.

The company Mattel suffers backlash because some people think owning a barbie will warp kids minds and want to look exactly like barbie and will give them body dysmorphia or anorexia.

Well that was a previous update about conflict not the most recent about rising action so i feel like it doesn't apply.
And it probably has something to do with how barbie makes different children feel, about themselves, friends, family.
Abbie wrote: "how was she tourtered"There were all kinds of stories from people who had beat up Barbie, one person said that she reenacted the Salem witch trials with her Barbies once, and one person said he would rip his sisters barbies apart and burn then bury them so his sisters never figure out what happened to them. 😨
Also, why do you think Barbie is the MOST "tortured" children's toy? Why do they get destroyed more often than toy cars, stuffed animals, or baby dolls?
