Thesis: Fairytale heroines must be “The Perfect Victim” for them to gain sympathy from the narrative and a happily ever after as illustrated in Perrault’s versions of Little Red Riding Hood.

Paragraph One
Introductory paragraph that explains the tale of Little Red Riding Hood and Charles Perrault’s connection to it which leads into the thesis.
Paragraph Two
Explains what a “Perfect Victim” is and how that relates to fairy tale characters.
Paragraph Three
Explains the structure of these types of fairy tales and how these fairy tales impact children.
Paragraph Four
Goes further into Charles Perrault’s version of Little Red Riding Hood and an older version; discussing the differences and implications.
Paragraph Five
Discusses the ‘moral’ of Perrault’s version of the story and the meaning of it.
Paragraph Six
Ties the discussion into real life cases of sexual assault and rape where people do suffer from ideology like “Perfect Victims”.

Reflection

I think that my essay is pretty well organized with the paragraphs relating back to my thesis and main idea. However, I think my third and fourth paragraphs are too long with the third juggling multiple topics. For my final I will split the third and fourth paragraphs into multiple smaller paragraphs that focus on one main idea. If I had to add anything to my thesis I would add how Perrault’s real life views on women, religion, etc. directly correlates with how he portrays situations and how that still happens today.
