Blog Entry 8: This week’s blog entry should be
either on Cinderella or the lecture by Dr. Johnson-Ross.
1. Cinderella is one of the so-called “rise tales”, which features a narrative arc of “rags to riches through magic and marriage” (Ruth Bottigheimer). Using the film as an example, write a reflection on this motif. Can someone reach success or riches with magic, marriage, charm, etc.? How realistic is that? OR
2. Write a blog entry about the African-American Story-Telling Tradition and the lecture by Dr. Johnson-Ross. What makes African-American folk and fairy tales unique? How are they different from others we have read? Blog is due by Sunday, April 7.
