Fairytales...

Dont we all wish we were in fairytales...living happily with others by our side...Getting whatever we want...
It seems like every girls wish to live in a fairytales...Being with Prince charming and living happily ever after...getting all the beautiful clothes and expensive jewelery are every girls' dream...

but what girls dont realize is how much a fairytale deceives them into believing that all girls are needy, weak and a pushover...

taking Rapunzel for example, she is weak and only hopes for Prince charming to come and save her...it shows that a girl needs a boy or a girl cannot survive the world...

and taking into considerations how girls in fairytales are always beautiful and skinny, shows that is what we need to be happy...for a man to take notice and eventually be happy ever after...ugly women are portrayed by witches, and evil stepmom which is irrelevant to evryone...cant a girl with not so pretty face be nice???

bringing this inappropriateness into considerations, I decided to make my research paper entitled 'Women' treatment in fairytales'...I will research on the treatment that women received in fairytales and the significance of it for students live...

well, now, I only need to find more texts to be used and more reading to be done....

Ima! It was shocking to know that we've been deceived by all those Prince Charming! They are portrayed as strikingly handsome and strong, but female characters are often weak and fragile. I will definitely not be reading fairy tales to my daughter in the future! :)
