Once Upon a Gender Role:Re-Envisioning the Strength of Females in Fairy TalesGarduno-Jaramillo, Itzel E 01 January 2017 (has links)
Education constantly promotes equality and diversity, however, if the literature we read our students is not doing so, is education doing its job? This question extends as far as females versus males and in fact, this thesis further pursued this issue by taking a look into common fairy tales that have been popularized in modern society that contain stereotypical gender roles and qualities of females that we try to steer away from yet have not.
After doing research into fairy tales and then analyzing Little Snow White, Little Briar Rose, and Cinderella by The Brothers Grimm, I was able to find common stereotypes and compare them to modern fairy tale characterizations of females and thus plead the case for stronger females in the fairy tale genre of texts.
My research revealed that fairy tales were an influence in the lives of children and that females were regarded as only needing to be beautiful, naive, and lack assertiveness. This showed that females felt the need to be this way in order to find the happily ever after and in society both men and women have been impacted through this literature.
The thesis provides a re-envisioned fairy tale of my own showing the combined research in a short story of how females can be strong and be feminine as well. A lesson plan has also been constructed to help point out characteristics in the story, “The Paper Bag Princess” which is one of the modern tales analyzed as well in this thesis.
So, I leave you with the notion that it is most definitely not just a man’s world. This world is shared with the opposite gender and its time in education that we do as we preach by providing those experiences to children through literature.

Bread CrumbsBedsole, Anna M 11 August 2012 (has links)
Seamus Heaney’s “Glanmore Sonnets” form the center of his 1979 collection Field Work. The sonnet series pose an interesting topic of study not only because they constitute a formalist move for a free verse poet, but also because of the way Heaney uses the sonnet form to demonstrate his view of time. In my examination of “Glanmore Sonnets,” I am interested in how Heaney fulfills and expands the traditional role of the sonnet.In this paper, I examine how Heaney’s “Glanmore Sonnets” both enact the sonnet’s traditional concern with immortality and time and expand the form to embody his view of the fluid nature of time and being.

Letters to the Girl I Left BehindNichols, Aly 01 January 2020 (has links) (PDF)
A collection of poems that plays with ambiguous narration and the exploration of taking apart and rebuilding myth and fairytale. A hint of menace underlies series of letters between an unnamed writer and a figure only referred to by G, offering a glimpse into a world that is both vague and interpretable, at times grappling with its own meta nature.

Secure the ShadowSilcox, Beejay Rebecca-Jo 21 March 2017 (has links)
Secure the Shadow is a collection of short-shorts and flash fiction, which draws heavily on the conventions of fables, parables and fairy tales to consider modern themes, desires and cruelties. The collection is linked by a meta-fictional fascination with the act of storytelling -- the liminal psychological space between the real and unreal, fantasy and delusion, seen and unseen, predator and prey. The collection also maps the topography of loss -- it explores what it means, and how it feels, to lose and to be lost. / MFA

The evolution of tales in Europe and George Sand's work throughout the K-12 curriculumO'Brien, Maria Teresa 01 January 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the evolution of tales in Europe, particularly in France, from the late l 7lli through the l 9lli century, specifically George Sand's work, in an effort to research instructional applications for cross-curricular foreign language instruction. Institutional fairy tales originated in Italy. The creation of a new genre of literature inspired many writers in Europe to imitate the Neapolitan and Venetian fairy tales of Gianbattista Basile as well as Giovan Francesco Straparola. In the late 17TH and 18TH centuries, in France, the first fairy tales were published, which have remained well known up to the 2I st century. In the 18TH century, Mme Leprince de Beaumont institutionalized fairy tales for children by omitting irony and unnecessary variants in her stories for children. In the 19th century, the Grimm Brothers adapted French and Italian fairy tales to their own language for a young German audience. Most French tales were also translated into English. From the 17TH to 19th centuries, fairy tales permitted women to reach a certain degree of freedom intellectually by expressing social and political concerns depicting their discarded society in the stories. Since fairy tales were not to be believed and not to be taken seriously, women could express themselves freely without been reprimanded, George Sand, a 19th century French author, contributed to the French Romantic period as well as to social and political sectors with her work. At the end of her life, George Sand wrote Tales of a Grandmother dedicated to her grandchildren. Ten out of thirteen stories are analyzed in this thesis in terms of characters, themes, and moral lessons. In Chapter Four, a curriculum is created based on the ten analyzed tales of Sand's Tales of a Grandmother. The curriculum addresses essential questions and activities to be taught in a French curriculum as well as cross-curricular. Chapter Five expands on the cross-curricular guidelines by providing activities based on Tales of a Grandmothers. In addition, a complete lesson plan on the "The Castle of Pictordu" tale is added in Appendix A. This lesson can be taught not only in French but in an interdisciplinary curriculum.

Der interkulturelle Vergleich der Märchen von Brüdern Grimm und K. J. Erben / The intercultural comparison of fairy tales of Brothers Grimm and K. J. ErbenPAPOUŠKOVÁ, Jana January 2017 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with a comparison of works of German and Czech fairy tale authors. The two cultures are represented by the Brothers Grimm and by K. J. Erben. Fairy tales of these authors are analysed from an intercultural point of view. Since each culture has different features, fairy tales of these cultures are written in a different form, as well. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on expert literature on intercultural communication and on the topic of fairy tales. Further sources include literature on the Brothers Grimm and on K. J. Erben. In the practical part, five fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and five fairy tales of K. J. Erben are analysed and compared. This analysis and comparison represent the core of this thesis, with four different fairy tales chosen of each author and one fairy tale describing the same story.
