  • “Exploring Japanese Folklore Creatures: A Comparison to Western Witches and Lessons Learned from the Salem Witch Trials”

    12font double spaced, times new roman
    I have learned about the Salem Witch Trial in my calss and now I want to write an essay about the mythical creatures such as witches in Japan. (There is no Japanese Witches because word “Witch” is came from Western.  but there is Japanese folklore creatures: full of magical creatures of tales of persons with mystical abilities
    It will be research paper but my professor does not expect the formal research paper. You can use “I” in paper. 
    There is no strict outline.
    English is not my first langauge so please do not make the paper College level. 
    Intro: talking about ” While we were learning about the salem witch trial in the class, I was curious about is there any mythical creatures in Asia too because I am from South Korea. Therefore, I am writing this research paper to figure out what kinds of mythical creatures were existed in the past Asia. and I found out that there were ‘folklore creatures’ in Japan. ( In this paragraph, please use “I”.) 
    Bodies(Research part): You can list the mythical creatures that are similar with the Witches and explain each or  writing the stories or information about those creatures ( Please do research correctly. I need legit information)
    Conclusion:  In this part, 
    I want to include little bit about philosophical argument at the end of the paper about ” Through out the tragic happenings such as the salem witch trails, understanding how discrimination and prejudice can lead to tragic outcomes. Events like the witch trials illustrate how ignorance and fear can unjustly accuse and condemn innocent people. Through such experiences, we realize the importance of equality, respect for all individuals, and the need for an attitude free from prejudice.”  (You do not have to connect this part directly with the research pat, japanese mythical creatures. You can just start with “as I worked on this paper and learn about the witch trials in the class, I want to discuss little bit about what lessons can we learn from those.” This part can be 1 ~ 2 pages.
