Investigation of Comparative Texts on Podcast Assignment

Assignment Task

We have been looking at the concept of the fairy tale as a cautionary tale. Over time, many fairy tales have been reimagined and interpreted in varied ways. You are to compare at least 2 versions of a fairy tale, exploring the cautionary nature, whether they are still messaging to the same audience, and if the messages have changed or stayed the same. You will need to explore the societal influences that have changed the story and reflect on this in your podcast.
