  • 500 words (you may go 10% over or under this word count)

  • You must have a coherent thesis/argument in your introduction and one key example from each text in which you analyze for deeper meaning throughout your body paragraphs (try to find examples from each text that you can place in conversation with each other)
  • Do not write broad, observational comments
  • Ask yourself: “what is the importance of my observations?” to help you develop vague ideas into concrete arguments
  • Consider the implications that your case study and the differences (or similarities) have in how they codify gender/sexuality/other performative roles found in fairy tale conventions
