littlebirdsaved Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hi I'm planning to write my Extended Essay in English B. In general, my idea is to write about different psychological symptomes named after fairy-tales characters, but I find it extremely hard to find a research question. What do you think about this topic? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcurrant Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi Littlebirdsaved, Bruno Bettleheim provides classic interpretations of fairy tales from a psychological perspective. You might like to check out his writing. Remember that your EE is a *research* essay and therefore you should treat it as such. A pairing of psychological symptoms and names won't take you far in that direction -- it will be apparent that you are writing about what you know already. And your subject, as it is, is far too narrow. It seems you should just allow yourself to browse through what has been written about fairy tales much more. And don't get stuck on names - psych symptoms as it is really quite narrow. You will undoubtedly bump into plenty of other aspects of fairy tales which will provide you with great EE topics. So just keep exploring and keep an open mind. If you need more help, just email me (see my profile) or use the PM. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
