Shrek essays must focus on differences with fairy tales

This is a very popular topic for school essays nowadays. A Shrek essay has the advantage that every student has watched the movie, or at least has some idea on who this “big, stupid, ugly ogre” is (actually, a brave, good hearted antihero of our time). So don’t freak out if a teacher asks you to write an essay on this topic, because you could do much worse! Shrek essays are funny to write and read, although you should focus on “serious” topics and not only repeat the best jokes on any film of the Shrek series.
Today, everyone is talking about Shrek again, since the fourth (and, apparently, last) film of the series is about to be released by DreamWorks. With “Shrek forever after”, the series of adventures will be completed. We suggest you to at least watch the first film in order to write a proper essay.
