I chose this class because it fit perfectly with my schedule. This class peaked my interest because I enjoy fairy tales, even though I rarely get a chance to enjoy them. I used to always ask questions when my parents read me the stories, which usually prevented them from finishing the story. For example in The Three Little Pigs, I used to ask, "Why didn't the wolf light a match and burn the straw house down? Why couldn't the wolf and the pigs just be friends? I thought the wolf was ate Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother,is he still hungry?" But since the story was told a certain way, I had to learn to stifle my questions, until the story was finished and just accept that the it was "just the way things are." But in class I like how there are different versions of a fairy tale, each for a particular reason. In this class I'd like to be able to examine stories and look at the characters point of views in mulitple angles. It'd be nice to think that in the class the questions I used to ask might not be so strange anymore.
When I was first asked about my favorite fairy tale of all time, I impulsivley said "Snow White". But I never really though about why. Now on further reflection I'm not really sure I can pinpoint my favoirte fairt tale of all time, because right now, I can't find a good reason why it's my favorite story, and I'd like too.
