J.R.R. Tolkien: Developing Imaginative Style
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Ever since man began telling tales, incredible accounts of freakish, monster-like animals have captivated and horrified entire communities. The basis for these extraordinary fabrications was the inability of early writers to distinguish between truth and fantasy. As the stories were passed down through generations, they
eventually became accepted as the legends we know today. The younger years of one of mythological literature's most beloved writers � J.R.R. Tolkien � served to greatly impact this imaginative style; however, the author did not fully grasp his unique talent until the 1930s when he worked and reworked The Hobbit and ultimately came up with new ideas of
mythological literature in the essay "On Fairy Stories." By this time Tolkien had come to realize that fantasy stories were plainly not primarily concerned with possibility, but with desirability. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Katherine Paterson�s �The Great Gilly Hopkins�: Its Application to Learning about Learning Disabilities
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing how Katherine Paterson�s novel �The Great Gilly Hopkins� is beneficial in the educational system. Katherine Paterson�s novel �The Great Gilly Hopkins� has become one of the most recommended reading materials within middle schools across North America in its ability to address the character of Gilly who has undergone several transitions throughout the foster care system and is considered an example of a child with reactive attachment disorder (RAD). The novel was written for youths aged 9-12 (the central character, Gilly is 11) and within the classroom environment has allowed teachers to introduce mature and realistic subject matter to their students which will lead to a better understanding and tolerance of children who are not from traditional, supportive family environments and who have developed mechanisms or defensive behaviors which allow them to cope with their situation.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind In The Willows": Friendship, Loyalty And Maturity
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Children's stories represent much more than merely what the written word expresses; indeed, it can readily be argued that literature possesses a significant underlying message that transforms the most innocent of stories into one of meaning and purpose. Grahame's approach to friendship, loyalty and maturity through the guise of animated characters helps provide children with a significantly better understanding of how the world around them works, as well as how they can best make themselves a part of it. No additional sources cited.

Layton/Grim Fairy Tales & Gory Stories
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page reaction paper to an essay by Aviva Layton, "Grim Fairy Tales and Gory Stories." Historical scholarship shows that children reading fairy tales (and similarly violent tales) has been considered controversial since around 1800 (Should children). There is a tendency for adults to want to protected children from what is deemed "ugly, illogical, violent or frightening" (Should children). In a well-reasoned and persuasive essay, Avina Layton counters this tendency and argues that fairy tales provide a necessary and psychologically constructive outlet for the subliminal needs of human beings, which includes children. Rather than protest against the violence in fairy tales, Layton protests against mediocrity and the misplaced protectionism of adults that would shield children from worthwhile children's literature. Examination of Layton's essay shows her argument to be sound, as it coincides with what is readily observable in popular culture and childhood behavior. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
