Growing up my mom read me a lot of stories‚ but the two that I loved the most were Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks. These stories were my favorite because they taught me life lessons and the characters were completely different from other story characters. I like how Goldilocks just walked into a strangers house. I like how Little Red Riding Hood is just talking to a wolf and eating the food that she is bringing for her grandma.These two stories also taught me not to talk to strangers and not

This is the story of the three little pigs‚ but the bystander story. Yes I am the fourth pig from the story and the only reason i’m alive is because I kept out of the story and stayed quiet.

In ELA‚ we read three of the 900 Cinderella stories and one poem. I liked “Ashenputtel” because it had some cool features of the story such as the background of the story‚ but what was surprising is that it had blood and gore in it. “Yeh-Shen” was not my favorite‚ but I did think her step-mom and sister deserved punishment because of how they treated her. Apparently they didn`t know the phrase “treat others the way you want to be treated”. In the “Algonquin Cinderella” the step-sisters should have

In the article “Creating the Myth” by Linda Seger‚ Seger points out how characters from any story usually follow a certain pattern‚ called archetypes. Analyzing a fairy tale‚ I decided to choose “Cinderella”. It is evident that many characters in “Cinderella” followed a traditional archetype. The main character‚ Cinderella‚ can be fit into three different archetypes: innocent‚ damsel in distress‚ and an outcast. Cinderella can be classified as an innocent because she has never done wrong to anyone

The world is made up of people from different religions‚ ethnicities‚ and cultures; and they all have their own-tailored- creation stories. A story that explains how all things came to be and what gave everything meaning. A story that lies the foundation for all beliefs and expectations for the culture. A story that will be told for all generations. It may never be known which story is the true one. One of the more interesting comparisons in cultures is that of the Native Americans and the Puritans

The book‚ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz‚ was always thought to be a child’s tale‚ a “modernized fairy tale” until Henry M. Littlefield wrote an article about how The Wizard of Oz was actually an allegory for the Populist era. Littlefield believed that each character and significant place in the book correlated with a person or place in the Populist era. L. Frank Baum wrote this children’s book as a political allegory‚ whether he intentionally did it we are not sure. However‚ the unwavering proof that

SANTA INCORPORATED is a family friendly holiday tale. The goal of saving Christmas is clear. The idea of saving Christmas isn’t considered highly unique‚ but it’s a tried and true holiday concept that will always be around.
