Silenced by grief, Esther leaves her young daughter, Aurora, to fend for herself; against a backdrop of an absent father and maternal neglect, the child takes comfort wherever she can, but the fierce attachments she forms never seem to last until, as an adult, she travels to her father’s native Ireland. If You Were Mine employs elements of well-known fairy tales and explores themes of maternal abandonment and loss, as well as the consequences of adoption, in a narrative that laments the perilous nature of children’s lives.

  • The Goose Girl
    THE GOOSE GIRL BY SHANNON HALE READING GROUP GUIDE 1. The queen tells Ani that “a crown princess, like a queen, can succeed only by staying apart. Separation, elevation, delegation” (p. 25). Describe these three terms in your own words, and then discuss whether you agree with the queen’s view. What do you think it would be like to live under these expectations? How do you think this would affect Ani’s ability to make true friends and keep them? 2. Ani is stripped of her rightful crown by her mother, and forced into poverty and virtual slave labor by those who are hired to protect and care for her. While these life changes are traumatic and dramatic, in the end they prove to be good for Ani; she becomes a stronger, more insightful person and meets people whom she might not have otherwise. How so? What does she learn about herself? What does she learn from those who befriend her along her journey? How would things have been different between Geric and Ani had she not gone through these trials? 3. Discuss Ani’s relationship with her mother. Do you think the queen truly loves her daughter if she is able to deny her daughter’s birthright? Do you believe her mother’s actions are a betrayal? A political move? A move to protect her daughter? A selfish act? What makes you believe this? How would you feel if your mother denied you something you felt entitled to? 4. Ani’s aunt and mother are very different from one another.

  • Richard Hugo House, Fall 2016: Fairy Taleinspired Fiction Level
    Richard Hugo House, Fall 2016: Fairy Tale­Inspired Fiction Level: Intermediate to advanced. The class will be most useful to writers who have previously completed one or more stories. The class will be structured as a workshop and practicum; that is, each two­hour session will be devoted to a combination of workshop of a class member’s story; discussion of published tales or stories; and in­ class writing exercises, often related to that day’s reading, which could serve as idea­generators for new work. Writers in the class may have already been working in tale/fantasy/magical realism/surrealist modes in their fiction, or they may have come to the course looking for new ideas or directions. Unless the class turns out to be very large, the plan will be that each writer in the class gets two chances to have a story draft workshop­discussed. The second workshop could be used to discuss a revised draft of the earlier­workshopped story or a new story, whichever the writer prefers. Reading assignments will be available either as handouts or at online links. SYLLABUS Week One: Fairy Tale Foundations. To read: Grimms tales: “Cinderella,” “Little Red Cap,” and “The Six Swans.” To Bring: Your memory of a favorite fairy tale—or any memory of a first story or book you read. Bring an actual copy of a story or tale if you can. Week Two: Making a Fairy­Tale Canon. To read: Grimms tales: “Thumbling,” “The Robber Bridegroom,” “Brier Rose,” “Snow White,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “The Goose Girl,” and “Bluebeard.” First workshop.

Perkins 1 Lizzi Perkins Gideon Burton ENG 295 11 April 2016 The Goose Girl: The Importance of Understanding Self-Concept Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German researchers and linguists who are best known for their collection and retelling of folklore. They popularized stories like Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc.; pretty much every Disney classic was first popularized by the Grimm Brothers. What makes their stories so timeless? Why do people from different cultures, backgrounds, and even from different time periods all connect to those stories? One common theme throughout each of these Grimm folktales is the discovery of self or establishing an identity. No matter someone’s age, ethnicity, or gender, having a firm grip on one’s identity is vital to living a happy and contented life (Erikson). Looking at the Grimm Brothers’ The Goose Girl through the lens of identity development highlights overarching themes and obstacles that anyone going through an identity crisis can relate to.

Most of us grew up hearing certain stories, reading the Grimm brothers, watching Disney adaptations of classic tales, and passing these things on to the next generation. But even though we sometimes dismiss fairy tales as we get older as “stories for children,” that does not mean that fairy tales do not play an important role in our lives and cultures.

FINDING OUR “HAPPILY EVER AFTER”: HOW POOR FAIRY-TALE PARENTING BREEDS A BETTER CHILD by Brandie Crain, B.A. A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS LOUISIANA TECH UNIVERSITY November 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis shows how problematic parenting in fairy tales can have a positive influence on children by building their independence and giving them a more realistic and less naïve outlook on life. Fairy tales should not only be present in the childhood of our lives, but throughout every season. Problematic parents are prevalent throughout fairy tales, catalysts for the harm which inevitably comes to their children. However, this harm is usually not their end, as they are forced to self-parent. “All Fur,” “Cinderella,” “Snow White,” “The Juniper Tree,” and “Hansel and Gretel” create the idea that parents are sometimes a disappointment and that children should embrace independence and be equipped to handle isolation and abandonment.
