Introduction: I chose to research the genre of fables, in particular Aesop's fables. I only informed the basics of the fairy tales. To be honest, I don't even think there's much to know about fairy tales. What is there to know? They contain lessons, animals and are short. From time to time people use them in their daily day to support their opinions. Especially authority figures like parents, teachers, and, well, I can only think of those two. Personally I think “Don't leave things to the last minute” is their favorite. “Why didn’t you do your homework?”…oh wait, that doesn’t apply to fairy tales. Well, in summary, my knowledge of fairy tales is very superficial. The reason I choose fairy tales is because they have important meaning. Fairy tales are very meaningful to people because they teach us vital lessons about life in a short and charming way. The average IQ in the world is quite low/normal. The reason I state this opinion is because if fairy tales were complex, they would not be so famous and well known. Even if we don't realize it, when it comes to making decisions we unconsciously think of fairy tales, or at least their morals. We are influenced by their captivating morals every day, at least I am. Research: I embarked on this amazing trajectory on December 13, 2013 when we received the exciting news that we were starting a research paper I! Oh yes, writing a six-page long essay on just fifteen short stories will be so easy. NOT!!! On the bright side, every day of working on this project has led me to new insights and fantastic knowledge about Aesop and his fables. Which I honestly thought there wasn't much to know. The first step was pretty simple because of the f...... middle of the paper...... pretty important. Fairy tales provide people with simple rules for living life. The fairy tales have been passed down from generation to generation; that means they actually help people in their lives, even if in a small aspect. Fairytales are all around us and continually guide us. Works Cited "Aesop". Encyclopedia of World Biography Vol. 24 Detroit Storm. Np, 2005 Web. 20 December 2013. "Aesop's Fables 1983". Youtube.
