Introduction:Fairy tales have an impact not only on the lives of adults but also on the decision-making process of children. Children's sense of justice begins at an early age, when they are strongly influenced by their environment. Listening to and interacting with parental figures changes their perspective on virtually everything. When a child is read a fairy tale, he or she is encouraged to do the right thing and is ultimately rewarded as evil is defeated. I chose to write my article on fairy tales to enlighten others about the significance they play in a child's life. It not only inspires "outside the box" thinking, but also creativity and imagination. Creativity and imagination inspire me to write this article to influence those who don't read fairy tales to give it a try. Fairy tales are one of the few genres that children draw their attention to when they are told. This inspires me to continue writing this article because it may influence parents' views on popular children's reading genres. The Research – SUMMARY: The journey began when my teacher, Mr. Boardman, announced that we would do an “I- Search Paper” on one of 3 topics of your liking; Fables, Folktales and last but not least , fairy tales. From there we proceeded to the Library to research our chosen topic. I chose Fairy Tales because it contained both the context of fairy tales and folk tales. Fairy tales provide a sense of morality, which plays an important role in one's life child, and also a magical element that inspires imagination and creativity. While researching this topic, my adventure has been filled with joyful moments of rereading stories I heard as a child. Not only has it strengthened my vision of right and wrong, but also gave a sense of reality to this selfish world... middle of paper... ntment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales.
