Getting there…
Lately I’ve been spending more time reading than actually writing. I have almost 15 pages of text, but I need to start thinking about what I really want to convey in this paper. I have (as we talked about in class) regurgitated quite a bit of information, and am still reading more and more to learn as much as I can about my topic. However, tying all the pieces together to make it “my own” paper is what I really want to start thinking about. One thing that has helped me do this is relating the sections in my paper to one another. By making my own inferences about why this means that and how this could have influenced that helps put a little bit more “me” into my paper.
This week, I have spent a lot of time reading actualy original fairy tales. After researching their history and development, I now want to read as many of the actual tales as I can and then relate those tales to what I have learned about their origins (hopefully this makes sense). I am finding the tales very interesting and fun to read, especially those that I already know (such as Cinderella) and finding out their original text was much different than what I know. I’ll spend the rest of this week reading tales and interpreting them, as well as doing a bit of biographical research on a few fairy tale writers/collectors.
I feel like it’s finally coming together!
