Here is an example of a FATTY statement for one work:
John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" portrays Satan as a sympathetic figure interjecting sin into human life, which was a cultural belief but not supported by biblical text.

Here is an example of a FATTY statement for two works:
Charles Perrault's popular retelling of the folktale "Cinderella," and the anonymously written Chinese folktale "Chow-Sin" both suggest that power leads to poor decision-making, though most readers focus on themes of poor maidens who wind up with princely spouses.

Here is an example of a FATTY statement for three works:
The narrative poems "The Bridegroom," by Alexander Pushkin, and Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" share a nuanced but unsubstantiated atmosphere of threats against women, having roots in common folktales such as Charles Perrault's retelling of "Blackbeard."
