Topic Research

After a while thinking about the theme i should focus on for my project, i decided to take the first idea that i brainstormed last week, which is to connect every fairy tales together. Although there are limits and constrains, i want to start the project using a Vietnamese story of Tam and Cam.

The story of Tam and Cam  is considered another version of Cinderella, although there are a few different points hear. In Vietnamese culture, a fairy is usually called Ông Bụt. In Tam Cam, after her sister Cam cooked and ate the Goby fish, Tam listened to Ông Bụt and splited the fishbone into four parts. Each part was put in a pot and the buried under her bed. Those pots will became the necessary things that help Tam find her true love.

This is Ông Bụt. He usually appears in most of Vietnamese fairy tale. He is also known as a Deity or a Fairy Godfather. Picture from Google

Next, I want to bring Snow White into my story, but how are these two stories related? Of course, she will become the main character that solve the problems between Tam and Cam. How do you think if Snow White's aunt is the Wicked Witch from the land of wizard Oz. I also plan to bring Rumplestiltskin, so that the story is more intense.
