How many and what types of sources are needed? 7-9 sources used in the body paragraphs of the paper and listed on the annotated bibliography 1. Foundation sources ( 3 required ) original fairy tales, folk tales, myths, legends from our textbook 2. Experts in the field of tales who use literary criticism lenses to make commentary on tales (1 required) Folk tale experts like Zipes, Tatar, Warner, Bettelheim, Campbell, etc. (Zipes' writes the intro of our text as well as the intro to each chapter in our text.

That's 10 pages of content when you consider these other elements. All papers will be MUCH longer when you include and submit the heading on the first page and the matching Annotated Bibliography. Do NOT submit a Works Cited page. I want the MATCHING Annotated Bibliography, meaning that all of the sources revealed as textual evidence in body paragraphs are listed and annotated on the AB. What is the purpose of this paper? Through literary and research analysis, argue how a particular element from any folk narrative genre reveals itself in modern society. Examples of connections former students have made from tale to folk expert to modern day research to present their arguments: The character Bluebeard reveals extreme behaviors possibly due to psychological complications and patterns of obsessive compulsive disorder. Tale: Bluebeard trope, various tales from chapter Expert: Psychological criticism from Bettelheim and Campbell Modern day: Researched symptoms and behaviors of those diagnosis Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from popular and scholarly, peer reviewed sources Both the Grimms' versions of tales and Trump show how they are influenced by religion through attempts to regulate women’s sexual and reproductive rights by promoting fear of outsiders and weaving religious messages into the language they use. Tale: Various Grimm authored tales from throughout the text Expert: Gender, Feminist, Moral, New Historicism from Campbell, Zipes, and Warner Modern day: Researched symptoms and behaviors of those diagnosis Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from popular and scholarly, peer reviewed sources In the trope, Facing Fear, the main character suffers through abuse within his household due to his repeated actions and strange behaviors consistent with children today diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. Tale: Facing Fear trope, various tales from chapter Expert: Psychological criticism from Bettelheim and Campbell Modern day: Researched symptoms and behaviors of those diagnosis Asperger's from popular and scholarly, peer reviewed sources The archetypes in the Sleeping Beauty trope represent an aspect of the collective unconscious within the feminist movement, and more importantly, these archetypes explore the power women hold in society and how this power can affect social change. Tale: Bluebeard trope, various tales from chapter Tale Expert: Gender, Feminist, and Psychological criticism from Warner, Bettelheim, and Campbell Modern day: Researched symptoms and behaviors of female power systems and psychology from popular and scholarly, peer reviewed sources In Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's version of Cinderella, the stepsisters sacrifice body parts in an attempt secure their status in society pointedly revealing the fine line between feminist power and Body Dysmorphic Disorder BDD) plaguing the minds of females today. Tale: Cinderella trope, various tales from chapter Tale Expert: Feminist and Psychological criticism from Zipes, Warner, Tatar, Bettelheim, and Campbell Modern day: Researched symptoms and behaviors of those diagnosis BDD from popular and scholarly, peer reviewed sources Additional instructions : The Essay should have connections with "Hansel and Gretel" and the topic of the essay should be about child trafficking and how child trafficking connects with the story of Hansel and Grete. There should be connections like how child trafficking effects sibling bonding, and how in the tale Hansel and Gretel used their sibling bond to overcome dangers.. Use the book “The golden age of folk and fairy tale by jack zipes” information about annotated bibliography:

The ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY MUST INCLUDE: A citation to the article, chapter, or other work in black ink Qualifications of the author or authors Explain the methods the authors used to conduct findings/write the article A summary of the argument and/or findings Evaluation of the work, for example the logic of the arguments or value of the evidence. This is YOUR evaluation!!! How this work supports your own research Here is a sample of one source, color-coded with the above required elements: (See if you can guess which fairy tale trope this is written for:) Battle, Ken. “Child Poverty: The Evolution and Impact of Child Benefits.” A Question of Commitment: Children's Rights in Canada. Eds. Katherine Covell and R. Brian Howe. 2007. pp. 21-44. Academic Search Premier, ebscohost.com/login.aspx?=aph&AN=113075451&site=ehost-live. Accessed 8 Nov. 2015. Ken Battle draws on a close study of government documents, as well as his own research as an extensively-published policy analyst, to explain Canadian child benefit programs. He outlines some fundamental assumptions supporting the belief that all society members should contribute to the upbringing of children. His comparison of child poverty rates in a number of countries is a useful wake-up to anyone assuming Canadian society is doing a good job of protecting children. Battle pays particular attention to the National Child Benefit (NCB), arguing that it did not deserve to be criticized by politicians and journalists. He outlines the NCB’s development, costs, and benefits, and laments that the Conservative government scaled it back in favor of the inferior Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB). However, he relies too heavily on his own work; he is the sole or primary author of almost half the sources in his bibliography. He could make this work stronger by drawing from others' perspectives and analyses. However, Battle does offer a valuable source for this essay, because the chapter provides a concise overview of government-funded assistance currently available to parents. This offers context for analyzing the scope and financial reality of child poverty in Canada. Note that this would be one of 7-9 sources you will list in your annotated bibliography. Note format of HANGING indentation and specific language used to denote required elements. 3 of the 7-9 sources on your annotated bibliography must be scholarly, peer reviewed sources for your modern day aspect. 3 of the 7-9 sources on your annotated bibliography must be fairy tales from our textbook (Cited and alphabetized only, no annotation required). 1 of the 7-9 sources on your annotated bibliography must be an expert fairy tale literary critic. You should also color code your annotated bibliography in order to demonstrate your understanding of the format and expectations. Failure to meet these guidelines may result in automatic failure for the assignment. The source description should be color-coded for example: 1) Qualifications of the author in green, 2)Explain the methods the authors used to conduct findings/write the article in a different color, 3)A summary of the argument and/or findings in a different color, 4)Evaluation of the work, for example the logic of the arguments or value of the evidence. This is YOUR evaluation!!! in a different color and 5)How this work supports your own research in a different color I have added file which has the annotated bibliography. Just kindly make the above changes to the annotated bibliography page by color coding the source along with adding more information. I am also uploading a essay sample that was done.

Very important details: 1) How child trafficking affects sibling bonding. 2) How child trafficking affects the physical and psychological conditions of a young children.
