  1. Hello Louis,

    Firstly, please change the title of this post to "Propp Theory".
    You also haven't used any examples from 'Shrek', which were discussed during your lesson. The theory needs to be applied to a text so that when you revise from it later in the year, you can understand it.

    Additionally, I can't see your H/L piece?
