Rewriting a fairy tale 5-7 pages

Pick any fairy tale as you wish, rewrite the story, changing or hiding the gender of the protagonist, or switching the genders of two characters. Use this change to help you decide what must change in the plot and characterization and thus question and challenge the stereotypical gender roles of the traditional story. You can also focus on one or more characters. Use this format to challenge the way these characters are written in the traditional version by exploring what happened to them before the tale or what happens to them after “happily ever after.”

Rewrite the tale in such a way to allow you to examine how the gender roles of the traditional tale are problematic, who would these characters be today, and how would this change the plot, ending, and moral of the story. In short, your fairy tale must be rewritten to challenge sexism and racism, and other prejudice and discrimination in our world today.
