When thinking about this genealogy
essay my first thought was one that I spoke about in class; the Mickey Mouse
character. There are several different ways I could go with this. The big thing
that stands out are the physical things that have changed Mickey Mouse like how
it went from black and white to having color and sound. Taking this approach
would be very technical so I thought that maybe adding in why they decided on
these changes and how the creator of Mickey Mouse thought these changes would
influence the overall idea of youth and happiness and making dreams come true
would be a nice thing to add in.
My second
idea, which is the one I’m leaning towards, is the idea of fairytales. I would
take the approach of showing the difference in the three places they show up.
The first place is in the show Once Upon A Time. Several princesses and
fairytales show up in the show and sometimes they are shown as individual
fairytales but most of the time these characters are interacting together and
it’s played by actors. I can compare this show to the original tellings of
fairytales or I can use the Disney version of these fairytales. Another place
that I thought was interesting were in the editions of Grimm’s Fairytales. The
twisted versions of the fairytales would make a good comparison.
My last
idea has to do with the song “We Will Rock You” by Queen. This legendary song
has been used time and time again in commercials and sport rallies. Its also
been transformed. For example the song “Rock Me” by One Direction uses the same
beat but it’s slightly slower.
