I was thoroughly impressed with some of the ideas for papers about children's lit. In class I was thinking about writing on portals, their effects and how they're incorporated into a tale. After class I did a bit more brainstorming and also realized that I don't think anyone thought of writing about cannibalism in children's lit. The first fairy tale we encountered in class was about a stepmother killing her stepson, chopping him up and making a stew with his body which she then fed to the father. Sounds like great material for a 5 year old! So portals or cannibalism is what I'm thinking about writing on for my term paper.
