Analyze the book Gilded by Marissa Meyers, an adaptation of Rumpelstiltskin, compared to the original Rumpelstilskin by Brothers Grimm.
How does the adaptation differ from the earlier text, and why? Do these changes present a different interpretation of the text, and what does that say–or avoid saying–about the time or culture in which the adaptation was produced?
This essay assignment asks you to build a research-driven argument. Your challenge is to choose a subject and to, after a period of research and careful consideration, narrow your subject and your position, and defend a specific claim.
