Social Science Exercise # 2 - The Uses of Enchantment
|
Bruno
Bettelheim was a famous child psychologist and a follower
of Freudian theory. His basic idea is that fairy tales
are important for young children to work out natural
feelings that they have about their life and
relationships with their family members and friends. For
this second exercise, based on The Uses of Enchantment,
you will read Part I "A Pocketful of
Magic," and just skim
the first sections of Part II, "In Fairy Land".
|
To complete the exercise you need to follow these steps:
| Step One: | Read the assigned sections of The Uses of Enchantment. |
| Step Two: | Read the fairy tale, "The Haunted Forest," on page 2 of this section. |
| Step Three: | Based on Bettelheim and the Fairy Tale, your task is to write your own fairy tale about what happens after the ending of the Haunted Forest. Your fairy tale should be between 2-3 pages. Do not exceed this length. It can be a straight narrative, or you can include dialogue. The design and storyline of the fairy tale are all your own decision. |
