Traditional Fairy Tales, Class Five

Monday, February 5, Period Two

"Today, for the first part of the period, work in pairs or groups to review the material we covered in the previous classes. I will be available to take questions if you have them. When the review period is over, Miss Lang and Miss Halliwell will pass around your exams, and you'll have the remainder of the period to complete them. Before you leave today, I will need absence excuses from Armony Eiselstein and Phoebe Halliwell."


Class One (01/08): Introduction
Class Two (01/15): Character Archetypes I
Class Three (01/22): Character Archetypes II

EXAM 1:
Choose two of the following and write a short essay in response to each.

1. In "Jack the Giant Killer", the central character achieves status and riches. In "John the True", the central character sacrifices himself for another. Examine the differences between the two characters, and explain how both still fit the model of "hero".

2. Using the examples provide by "Molly Whuppie" and "The Sleeping Beauty", examine the "active heroine" versus the "passive heroine".

3. Discuss how the three hermits of "The Dancing Water, the Singing Apple, and the Speaking Bird" fit the archetype of "helper".

4. Examine the differences between the parent/family figures in "The Sleeping Beauty" and "Mr Fox".

HOMEWORK: Your reading assignment for next week is "The Rose Tree" and "Brother and Sister".

"Actually, you are," he corrected, looking very amused. "You're a wizard. You're practically a fairy tale walking around. A very sexy fairy tale, granted, but still a fairy tale."

"But, not this particular fairy tale," he said, amused nonetheless.

"Point," he conceded. "So I should ignore you? Go back to studying?"

"I didn't say that," he said, smirking. "How are you?"

"Good, Cedric. Very good. Being able to touch again," and Jack stroked his hand lightly down Cedric's arm, "makes me extremely happy."

"I'm sure it does," Cedric said. "I'm sure you haven't stopped touching things since getting the ability back."

Jack smirked. "You know me way too well. And I plan to keep on touching things, as often as possible," he said slyly. "On a related note, got any plans for tonight?"

"I don't," he said. "Do I now?"

"You do," he confirmed, laughing a little. "Come by tonight? I'll feed you and we can make up for lost touching time."

"I'll be there," he said with a smile.
