My topic sentence on fairy tail is ” Exert a significant influence on teenagers from an early age.” I choose to explore this particular aspect of fairly tale because I feel like the fairy tale ” The hero’s journey , Snow White got a lot of criticism also because it clearly states the main idea of my essay and sets the direction for my argument .It identifies the specific focus of my essay, which is the influence of fairly tales as mentioned the impact on perceptions and values it hints at a broader influence that fairy tales can have on teenagers development and world views.

I deeply sympathize with your theme. I believe that fairy tales are something that everyone around the world has read in their lives. Gender stereotypes, beauty standards, and cultural appropriation are cited as reasons why stories like Snow White are particularly criticized. We felt that these elements demonstrated the far-reaching influence that fairy tales have on young people’s development and worldviews. It’s great that your research reveals additional aspects of the influence of fairy tales on young people.
Mikesha, I’m not 100% sure I’m grasping your central idea. When you write about the hero’s journey, are you referring to fairy tales as coming-of-age stories? Also, do you mean tha fairy tales can affect ideas and behaviors of children as they become adolescents? You mention gender stereotypes, beauty standards and “lack of agency cultural appropriation.” I don’t know what the last part means. You have so many ideas going on. I think you need to get a clearer, more narrow focus. Which of these many ideas do you want to focus on?
Fairytales can have positive effects on children, as they help develop imagination, educate, entertain, and influence ideas. However, some stories have been altered to be less offensive and censored. They can build hope, teach difficult challenges, and teach the difference between right and wrong. Fairy tales are widely read, but they are often criticized for gender stereotypes, beauty standards, and cultural appropriation. These elements highlight the significant impact fairy tales have on young people’s development and worldviews. Further research is needed to understand the full extent of their influence.
Your take on how fairy tales impact teens is fascinating! It’s cool how you’re focusing on “The hero’s journey” and Snow White to show how these stories affect how we see the world. The part about gender stereotypes and beauty standards in fairy tales is eye-opening, and it’ll add a lot of depth to your essay. Starting with the hero’s journey tale sounds like a good plan, and I’m curious to see what else you’ll find as you dig deeper into how these stories influence us.
I agree with you, I have chose these fairy tale because i want to explore more these fairy tales. And surely agree with that stament that not every fairy tale should read by the children that are not good what you think about that?
