Paper Thoughts
So I've been considering all we've read/seen this semester and after a lot of thoughts I think I may want to focus my paper on the two Spanish movies we watched. I really liked how they both had a fairytale integrated into their storyline and how they focused on the fantastic from a child's point of view. What I liked about how it focused on the children is that at the same time they also had real life terrors happening to them. Pan's Labyrinth had a war going on, and The Orphanage child was moving to a new house and had HIV/AIDs. But the whole time both fantastical and real world problems are presented in a child-like way with a fairy tale to accompany it. I'm really wondering if I should try to include both, or just focus on Pan's Labyrinth. It has so much in that one movie that can analyzed and talked about. Hmmmm. Thoughts?

I think it would work to use both stories, it is always nice to have something to compare and contrast.
