  • A PURPOSIVE STUDY of the PORTRAYALS of WORK and POWER in ELLA ENCHANTED and FAIREST by JENNIFER
    NOT ALL WORK IS DEPICTED EQUAL: A PURPOSIVE STUDY OF THE PORTRAYALS OF WORK AND POWER IN ELLA ENCHANTED AND FAIREST by JENNIFER ERIN JOHNSON B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Children's Literature) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2009 © Jennifer Erin Johnson, 2009 Abstract Western fairy tales include an ideological framework with the ability to absorb and transmit values. While the theme of work has been examined as a factor of patriarchalism and the Protestant work ethic in traditional European tales, there is a paucity of literature discussing its portrayal in contemporary young adult fairy-tale novels and other young adult fiction. This thesis is a “pilot study” that examines the portrayals of work and power in Gail Carson Levine's young adult fairy-tale novels, Ella Enchanted and Fairest. The findings demonstrate how the author constructs active work roles operating on the principles of oppression or self-sacrifice for the community, and passive work roles manifesting as submission, resistance or complicity. They further reveal Levine's adaptation of patriarchalism and the work ethic to strengthen the significance of humanitarianism to the plot and of active and skilled labour to the conclusion. Although she begins to portray teenage work experiences as a transitional step to the adult workforce, her overall depiction connects more strongly to children's fiction. The work of building social relationships is emphasized during the narrative, but removed from the happily-ever-after ending.

  • Teaching Guide
    By GAIL CARSON LEVINE Illustrated by MATTHEW CORDELL TEACHING GUIDE About the Book The false apology poems in this wickedly funny collection are modeled after William Carlos Williams’s poem “This Is Just to Say.” These mean, sometimes scathing, and laugh-out-loud hilarious poems are written from the viewpoint of a wide variety of characters, both real and imagined, such as Snow White to the seven Dwarfs, the witch to Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel to her prince, the train switchman to the Little Engine that Could, brothers to sisters, and children to parents. Enjoy! Before Reading A false apology could also be called a nonapology or a phony apology; but no matter the term, it is an insincere apology made by a person who is not really sorry about the effect of his or her actions or words. Have students read William Carlos Williams’s poem “This Is Just to Say” and discuss why it is a false apology: How does the reader know the apology is not sincere? What might William Carlos Williams have said if he really was sorry? What is the tone of the poem? After discussing the poem, ask students to write a false apology poem for something they have done or said that they should be sorry for but really aren’t. Have students share their poems with the class.

  • Great Readers, Great Leaders Ted Zaleski
    Ted Zaleski Great Readers, Great Leaders We are delighted to introduce the frst in a series of bookmarks featuring books recommended by great readers and leaders in Carroll County. Our frst great reader is Ted Zaleski, Carroll County Director of Management and Budget. Ted’s Bio A lifelong learner, Ted regularly read books to his children. One night his daughter asked him, “Why are we always reading books about boys?” Ted notes, “Chastened by my daughter’s question I set out to fnd good books about girls. It was harder than I expected. Tey were out there, but I had to dig for them. I began to wonder how many girls were being fed a diet of books about boys by default. It occurred to me that other parents might be interested in the same kind of books I was looking for.” Tis led Ted to write, “Making Teir Own Choices: Strong Female Characters in Fantasy Literature - One Hundred Books for Late Elementary to High School Readers.” In his thesis, Ted also explored the idea of strong female characters, the roles they play and why he believes we need them. He also provided a brief history of fantasy literature, and the important role that fantasy fction can play in shaping the worldview of young readers. We are honored that Ted allowed us to share his work by creating an annotated bookmark listing 10 of his favorite books from his list of 100. Please stop by any CCPL branch to pick up a bookmark. A complete list of all 100 titles on Ted’s list is attached.
