Prompt:
Choose 1 story from Section 1 and 1 story from Section 2. Compare and contrast how each of the stories talk
about gender. Make sure you reference specific details from each story about how gender is described. Please
make sure you tell me which specific story you’re using from each section (For ex, Perrault’s Snow White or
Grimm’s Beauty and the Beast).
Make sure each paragraph has a topic sentence (the first sentence tells us what the rest of the paragraph is
about) and ends with a concluding idea and/or transition to the next paragraph.
Remember that the background information should be limited and instead you should focus on the specifics
from the text and how those details prove what you’re saying about the text.
Section one will be: Cinderella by Grimm brothers
