How Kermit is represented as a male?
The centre picture of Kermit suggests difficulty on determining whether he is male or female, due to this you have to look at the ideologies of the representation of characters and whether they are male or female. Due to Kermit being green it suggests he is male, due to beliefs, also the fact that he has a jagged neck tie suggests he is male as females would be less likely to wear this, they would be more feminine.
The picture on the left hand side gives us the impression that he is a male due to his stance and positioning, it looks like a very powerful pose and almost arrogant.
Looking at the picture on the right our attention is drawn to the fact that Kermit is wearing male clothing looking very smart and presentable, this anchorage gives us intention to believe he is male.
You could determine whether Kermit was a male by looking at other film which include frogs, for example ‘Shrek’ where the frog is the king. Furthermore you could look at the fact that that his name is Kermit which sounds like a very masculine name and therefore leads us to think that he is male.
I love the way you have explored a range of evidence and evaluated Kermit's representation against examples of frogs in other media examples. In your analysis I would work on the way you phrase ideas and look for alternatives to 'due to' as this can become a little awkward.
