Topic and Thesis sentence:
TOPIC: Fairy tales and sexism THESIS SENTENCE: Fairy tales, Grimm or their Disney counterparts, have helped to reinforce a negative image of women: as helpless creatures incapable of independent self-actualization or as powerless tokens of adornment.

Supporting quotation/text: Cinderella is distraught, resorts to magic, deception—preoccupation with going to the ball; step sisters cut off heals to make shoe fit to “get the man” Topic Sentence: The characters in “Cinderella” help to reinforce a negative stereotype of women by portraying an overemphasis on the procurement of a man for personal fulfillment. Commentary on supporting quotation/ text: women will go to great lengths to procure a man; risking responsibilities and disfigurement. Pain to self=worth it?? Supporting quotation/text: Cinderella was trapped by societal expectations of a woman—cleaning, keeping house, helpless, dependent. Commentary on supporting quotation/ text: “happily ever after” came when she was “rescued” by the prince—relieving her from her life of despair and toil. Displayed as only option

Supporting quotation/text: Magic mirror= emphasis on beauty; causes Step mom to resort to wicked acts (fear!) Topic Sentence: Similarly, “Snow White” also depicts women as helpless victims, with their worth dependent on their beauty or a man. Commentary on supporting quotation/ text: Beauty=salvation because it makes a woman desirable to men. Without beauty, power does not exist; step mom feared loss of power/control Supporting quotation/text: after eating poison apple, Prince’s kiss could wake her Commentary on supporting quotation/ text: Revitalization from a man, not self. Again man = salvation, safety, fulfillment
