Gantos/Hole in My Life
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page book review of Jack Gantos's memoir Hole in My Life. As reviewer Christine Heppermann points out, while most award-winning children's book authors "will admit to having paid their dues, those dues generally don't include serving time in federal prison" (345). Nevertheless, award-winning author Jack Gantos' tale of prison life for smuggling drugs offers young people an insightful and thoughtfully written narrative. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Gender Roles in Fairy Tales
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining the traditional gender roles presented in the classic fairy tales. Beginning from the observations of psychoanalyst Karen Horney and anthropologist Margaret Mead, the paper is mostly involved with the traditional view of the beautiful princess waiting for the rescue that will come in the person of the handsome prince. The concern with these tales is that they will train young female readers that normal life is that which can be found in the traditional fairy tale, and that they perpetuate traditional gender roles in which women depend on men for their very survival and are unable to think for themselves. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Gold and Bettelheim: Fairy Tales
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page paper is a reaction to articles by Kari Gold and Bruno Bettelheim, in which the authors discuss fairy tales.

Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Gulliver Adaptations
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that examines how Jonathan Swift's classic Gulliver's Travels, which is a biting adult satire was transformed into a staple of children's literature. The writer summarizes Jackie Stallcup's insightful history and analysis of Gulliver's myriad children's adaptations. This review establishes the fact that adaptations of classics into children's books says a great deal about adult agendas, and provides backdrop for an investigation into current adaptations of Swift's work. In this regard, several reviews of contemporary adaptations of Gulliver, which are intended for children, are analyzed in order to determine the current editorial agenda for how this classic of English satire is perceived and presented to children. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Hans Christian Andersen
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay on Andersen. The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen were never meant to be read solely by children. The fact that Andersen's style frequently disguises a sophisticated moral message suggests that he also intended these stories to speak to adults. One of Andersen's best-known tales is "The Emperor's New Clothes," which focuses on the superficiality of pretense. A close examination of this story and Andersen's life suggests that "The Emperor's New Clothes" tells the reader something about the way that Andersen perceived himself and his work. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
