The main character is a girl named Camilla Cream who loves lima beans but doesn't want to eat them because her friends dislike them and she wants to be just like them.]]> 2019-02-25 22:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/axb44470/waqawib0386g/wish/335127586 axb44470 https://padlet.com/axb44470/waqawib0386g/wish/335127802 The core theme of A Bad Case of Stripes is learning to be yourself, and being comfortable in your own skin… literally. Philosophically-speaking, the book deals with the issue of identity, spun in several different ways.]]> 2019-02-25 22:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/axb44470/waqawib0386g/wish/335127802 The story raises the question of whether or not it is important to care about what people think, as well as what the consequences of such worrying are. At some point, Camilla becomes almost unrecognizable, and though she does not appear to lose her sense of self, our perception of her changes. In this way, the function of identity is raised: is it something one defines for oneself, or is it something that is defined by others? Throughout the book, Camilla visibly and physically changes many times. She is always called ‘Camilla,’ but it seems that by the time she has morphed into the walls of her room, there is really no recognizable Camilla left. Thus the question must be asked, is she still Camilla Cream? axb44470 https://padlet.com/axb44470/waqawib0386g/wish/335127863 2019-02-25 22:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/axb44470/waqawib0386g/wish/335127863 axb44470 https://padlet.com/axb44470/waqawib0386g/wish/335128086
A Bad Case of Stripes can also be used to discuss bullying. Camilla is teased by her classmates and talked about on the news, which both effect her mental and physical states. Whether or not what the reporters do is bullying is an interesting question. The media is supposed to objectively present facts, but are there times when news reporting crosses a line? The reporters’ behavior may seem invasive, but one must consider whether or not the reporters have a moral duty to share stories like Camilla’s with the public.

Camilla’s treatment by her classmates is a matter of ethical concern. Camilla’s classmates are a textbook example of children who tease other children and thus act as bullies. Bullying is a serious ethical issue, but philosophers debate what it is that makes bullying morally wrong. How does bullying hurt someone? What should a person do when he or she sees bullying occurring? These are the kinds of moral issues raised by bullying.
