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".

Re: EXAM
However, Jack could also fit the bill of hero, because there are many ways one can gain riches and position without risking one's life, or even helping other people, which he did.
2. The passive heroine seems to mostly fill the role of Damsel in Distress. There primarily as a reward for the handsome prince after completing some task. Whereas Molly Whuppie
dirty?as an active heroine performs the type of feats that Jack the Giant Killer did, and was rewarded with a handsome prince.As a side note both rewards for male and female charectors appears to be marraige to an attractive member of the opposite sex. Despite many examples of bad parenting, family values appear to be prevelant in these stories.
