Essay progress- case studies

I have been working on the two case studies that I had already chosen and think i will need at least one more to complete the chapter. Through these two case studies I have explored

- ambiguity
- complexity
- realistic narratives
- conversation and play in response to children's books
- relating case studies to specific theories of complexity in children's fiction
- appropriateness if subjects for target audience
- responses to books with realistic narratives

Updated

I am going to make some additions to this section, two pieces of research that I had already looked at that I think will benefit the essay. So far I have looked at books that in one way or another demonstrate the theories related to my research but their are similarities between all three. I want to include a study I found into illustrated narratives used within healthcare to help children understand the situation. They found that the illustrated narratives were more effective that simply explaining the process. This will not be a study of a specific text but instead an application of narrative with a clear goal. The other piece of research i want to include is an interview with Anne Fine who is a well known author.
