Children's Poems/Silverstein & Stevenson
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that contrasts and compares children's poems by these two poets. Being able to recreate the magic and joy of childhood and to do it from the child's perspective is a rare gift that few poets have exhibited. Two poets who manage to accomplish this feat are Shel Silverstein and nineteenth century author Robert Louis Stevenson. Examination of a representative poem demonstrates not only the technical virtuosity of each poet, but also the fact that each man managed to capture a child's narrative voice without talking down to their young readers, but rather showing empathy and understanding of a child's world. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Cinderella Around The World
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Traditional fairy tales are ripe for psychoanalytic perspective in that they present a decidedly obscure picture of how reality actually exists; meant purely as make-believe, young children cannot help but incorporate the purity and innocence of such possibility into their own worlds. When examining the classic Cinderella, what initially comes to mind is the transition that takes place throughout the story; however, when delving deeper, what becomes even more intriguing is the tales historical path and how it has been represented by more than a dozen global communities. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
