For the research essay I decided to use as topic: Fairy tales and children’s development. For this essay I chose “Snow White” as my fairy tale because I want to discuss about the Disney Walt Snow White version, which is the regular movie that some of us grew up watching and Bruno Bettelheim’s version which discusses about how fairy tales can relate to children psychological development. Both versions have their own unique style and I’m interested because I want to explore them deeply and have better understanding. In my research, I will be using a primary source which will be focused as evidence of the Walt Disney version, and a secondary source which will be used in the Bruno Bettelheim analysis. I found some articles and Journals that I will be used as my sources.

Hello Idalmi, I liked how you have a clear and concise idea of what and how you are going to write your report. I admire this kind of thread since I lack in those areas. I find it every difficult to just focus on one thing. I think its a good thing that you’re going to use both Walt Disney and Bruno Bettelheim’s version and I also do like the idea of exploring the psychological development in children, it sounds interesting.
Idalmi, I agree with Doma that you have a good, clear idea here. The Bettleheim article will serve you well in your exploration of the original story. It sounds like you have found some secondary sources that will help you write about how the Disney version differs from the Brothers Grimm telling of “Snow White.”
I admire Idalmi’s precise and brief report, since I struggle to focus on one issue. The use of Walt Disney and Bruno Bettelheim’s versions is advantageous, and the concept of investigating psychological development in children is fascinating. I find it difficult to concentrate just on one subject. Idalmi’s attitude is admirable in general.
