Fun Things

After being a bit bogged down with history and culture, I have decided to spend a bit of time actually reading and analyzing some of the fairy tales I want to talk about in my paper. I have narrowed it down to three main writers I want to include in the paper, and I plan on choosing at least 2 works to discuss in detail for each author. The writers are Charles Perrault, The Grimm Brothers, and Hans Christian Andersen. The first story I chose to read was “The Snow Queen,” by Hans Christian Andersen. It was a very fun and intriguing story to read, and definitely brought out some characteristics of the lower class that I have been reading about. I decided it would be fun to make a comic strip about it, and possibly about a few other fairy tales as well. That way I can include tales in my paper without having to basically paraphrase them, which is a rather boring read. The tale itself is always better than the summary! I will spend the next week delving into these three writers and analyzing their works, then I would work on molding the history and these writers into a smoother paper. Lastly, I still plan to do a bit of research on the use of fairy tales today.
