TMA has gone off to tutor. It was about the fairy tale, and whether it was ‘institutionalised;, with particular reference to Little Red Riding Hood. It was a fascinating toopic. There’s so much out there. Did you know that LRRH has been used to advertise drink, lipstick and perfume? And there are adult film versions such as Company of Wolves and Freeway?

I’m hoping to get a mark in the 70s, but it could well be mid to high sixties. Depends how lenient a marker the tutor is lol.I really don’t think it deserves much lower unless I’ve completely misunderstood the question, or spent too long on the history aspect. (Quite possible)

Ploughing on with the next block now, which is about 19th Century lit and gender differences. Think I’ll write about the role of courage in Little Women and Treasure Island. The other option is about the literature as a form of social control. Don’t think there’s that much difference in the two topics, just different slants.

Today - John has the dentist again this afternoon, and I’m going in to Hull with him. Will go to the library while he’s being drilled. Only thing I want to buy is a macro lens, and I’ll do that on t’Internet.
