5 September 2008 Class Notes

• "All literature is displaced myth." This one quote holds true to most literature. Somewhere there is always a fairytale lurking, even in your own life.


• Fairy Tales and Memory -- before fairy tales were written down, how were they remembered or passed down? It was all oral and memory. How does someone go about remembering so many things. *Snaps to Prof. Sexson for knowing every single person's name in class after only a day!*


• One thing easyily remembered...Dorothy's shoes. Try googling it and see what you get!


• Children love fairy tales and they love to hear them over and over again. As adults, we tend to get tired of doing that same thing over and over again but children are different. They love hearing that same story over and over again. You can't change anything either, because if you do, they notice and point it out to you.


• Don't question if things are possible in a fairy tale. It is a fairy tale, anything is possible!


• Began compiling a working bibliography of suggested books.
