Children story: Cinderella

FOR THE FIRST ASSIGHMENT I NEED A STRONG THESIS AND DEVELLOP THE TOPIC FROM THE THESIS. 1 PAGE 1 The role of the father in the Cinderella story is often underplayed and under examined. For this discussion, attempt to formulate a thesis statement that expresses an opinion on the role the father plays in the Cinderella variant of the fairy tale. Next, embed that thesis statement into a mock introductory paragraph using a creative audience grabber. Write as if you were drafting a full length essay defending your thesis. this is an example : Thesis: Her success has little to do with her father, but rather Cinderella's father is a man who is largely absent from his family, leaves Cinderella largely defenseless, dotes on his new family, forgetting his grieving daughter. Every little girl's dream consists of her heroic father. He is the picture of strength, invincibility, her own personal superman. For the immortalized Cinderella, this dream was never a reality. Destroyed by her evil stepmother and abused by her stepsisters, Cinderella should have been rescued by her father, a white knight if you will. But, he remained preoccupied with making his new family happy to care about his daughter. As a result, Cinderella suffered much tribulation. In the end, vindicated by her prince, Cinderella becomes the heroine despite the setbacks experienced. Her success has little to do with her father, but rather Cinderella's father is a man who is largely absent from his family, leaves Cinderella largely defenseless, dotes on his new family, forgetting his grieving daughter. 2 In her essay, Maria Tatar acknowledges that fairy tales are just as much about "conflict and violence as about enchantment and happily-ever afters" (Tatar, 233). These two distinct themes are often described as being gender specific: violence - male and happy-ever afters - female. In your personal experience, do you find this generalization to be true? Are certain stories for chicks only?---------------1 page
