I haven’t thought of any ideas at the moment, but looking a the essay 4 directions I’m thinking it will focus on the fact that there is only one parent figure instead of two. I feel like this topic interests me because I’m thinking about how things might be different if both parents were present instead of one since both parents have their ways to do things differently. I’m not sure which fairy tales I might include but I think I have something in mind. I haven’t found any useful articles on the BMCC library database or online just yet because I haven’t done my research yet, but I will look into that right now to have a better plan on what I’m going to write about. This essay is based on research so I need to start doing a lot of research to support the topic I’m thinking about writing.

John, that sounds interesting. You might need to expand that a little to the role of parents in fairytales or maybe the incidence of bad parents in fairytales. You could even show the differences in how mothers and fathers are depicted or the role of stepmothers.
Hi John, I think you could discuss a lot on this subject of having only one parent or none at all, especially when it comes to the fathers doing nothing at all and the mothers being deceased. I find it intriguing that the mother is the one who is always deceased and the mother is not, or how things might be different if fathers played a more significant part. This subject has the potential to be incredibly fascinating and develop into something larger, in my opinion.
