Traditional Fairy Tales, Class Ten (03/19)
Monday, March 19, Period Two
Once the students are assembled, Aziraphale reveals the test questions, which are written on the blackboard.
"You have the entire period to take the test. If you finish early, you may talk quietly, so long as you don't disturb your classmates. Also, I will need the following students to turn in their written absence excuses to my office by the end of the week."
Matilda Wormwood (three absences)
Jude Lizowski (one absence)
Miley Stewart (one absence)
EXAM 2:
Choose two of the following and write a short essay in response to each.
1. How does the tale "Brother and Sister" address the theme of Coming of Age?
2. Death is a very common theme in fairy tales. Explain how death is portrayed in either "The Rose Tree" or "Little Snow White".
3. "Jack and the Beanstalk" is an example of a tale that deals with the theme of Morals and Morality. How are the characters moral or immoral, and how does that affect the story? Would the story be different if Jack did not possess some immoral qualities?
4. In "Lambikin", the main character meets his death, which is somewhat unusual for the hero of a fairy tale. Explain why this happens, and what the teller of the tale might have been trying to achieve.
READING ASSIGNMENT: "Little Red Cap", "Diamonds and Toads", "East of the Sun, West of the Moon"
FINAL PROJECTS: "There has been an alteration in the final project requirements for this class. Rather than a group project, you will be giving an individual presentation on one tale that is not covered in the syllabus for this class. You will discuss how some of the elements we've covered in class are portrayed in the tale, and you will offer your interpretation of how that tale might differ if it were written for a different time and/or audience. Please see me during my office hours or make an appointment to meet with me if you have any questions. You are welcome to work in pairs if you like, so long as you let me know that you'll be doing so."
[ooc:Please wait for OCD is now up, and class is in session. I will probably not be around very much on Monday, so if you need to speak to Aziraphale, please come by his office hours on Tuesday or call his school voicemail to set up an appointment.]
