Setting and Lifestyle.



The show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" takes place out in a rural part of Georgia. They live out in the country with a bunch of red necks. The people that live around them like to go mud diving and bobbing for pig feet. They have a lake there that June "Mama" won't let the girls swim in because there is a possibility that you could get a flesh eating disease from the water.
The family seems very happy with each other and what they do. They have six year old Alana "Honey Boo Boo" in pageants which she seems to really like. I think it is good to have a girl like Alana in pageants because she has a lot of attitude which she can display while doing what she likes to do. Although Alana is in pageants her family is not picture perfect and proper. This is one of the things I liked about the family. Mike "Sugar Bear" makes the comment that they are all red necks and one of the daughters says they're not because they still have all of their teeth. I think that they are red necks. They like to go mud diving, bobbing for pig feet, and they wash their hair in the kitchen sink. They don't use proper english, which may be part of the show, they also have VERY thick accents. June calls herself "beautimous" and prides her girls on making themselves look good. I think that is a very good quality in a mother to want to make their child feel good because they look good. The girls decide that they are over weight and choose to make a plan to loose weight, all the while eating cheese puffs and chips. I don't think that they will follow through with the plan because they would have to change a lot about how they eat. Also they say that they are going to loose weight by farting so I don't think that they are going to get very far. I think that looking at their lifestyle as a whole they are happy but unhealthy and that Mike was absolutely correct when he said that they are red necks.
