    In Jennifer Kursman’s “The Swan: A Fairytale,” Kursman criticizes how American culture favors beauty over character. She explains that American culture forces women to put their looks before their brains. Kursman uses the TV show, The Swan as “ammunition” to prove their point. She believes that our culture states that, “every girl’s dreams should center on the concept of physical metamorphosis.” This explains the disapproving feelings that Kursman finds in our culture and what it expresses about women because she believes that character is more important than “physical metamorphosis.” Emphasizing that even the thought of it is poison for girls or women, she also talks about, “The American dream,” saying that it equals success or beauty, both…

    Brothers by Andrew Forster and Sister Maude by Christina Georgian Rossetti. The two poems I am comparing are Brothers and Sister Maude. Both are about siblings, except Andrew Forster’s poem is about how he left his younger brother on his own when they were going into the town as children, and how this has affected their relationship later on in life. Sister Maude is about bitter sister rivalry and how ‘Sister Maude’ tells on her sister about her lover.…

    As a general rule, children love fairy tales. We grow up being read Grimm's or watching Disney remakes of classics. Parents love telling children fairy tales not only because they have an opportunity to spend time with their sons and daughters, but also because fairy tales, like fables, always contain a lesson or moral within them. Although both Kate Chopin's "The Storm," and D.H. Lawrence's "The Rocking Horse Winner" have some of the qualities of a child's fairy tale, only one of the stories has a moral tone, while the other has a very amoral one.…

    Fairytales: when someone says that word, the first thing that might come up in your mind is probably kid’s reading Cinderella. Fairytales’ simplicity and accuracy in delivering a moral to young kids and adults is wonderful. We’d give an adult a eerie look if we caught them reading a kids book on the train to themselves. The reason behind our thought is cause it’s a kids book why would an adult read it but behind all this is the difference of interpreting stories for adults and children. Stories like Juniper Tree, Snow White, and Little Red Cap include hidden messages through violence and imagery and dialogue. Fairy tales teach children how to grasp the meaning and power behind storytelling. In this paper I will discuss the vast ways in which a child and adult interpret fairytales. Its…

    Fairy tales are often significant for enhancing imagination and different perspectives in the readers. Fairy tales are symbolic in our history and may currently still be present in our society. Fairy Tales also allow us to analyze the emotion of the characters and compare that to our culture as well as our own daily life. In “Snow White and her Wicked Stepmother” and the classic “Snow White” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm both focus intently on how envy, competition, hard-work, and mother daughter relationships and how that is still applied in our world today. The classic “Snow White” allows the reader to focus specifically on how the dwarves are emblematic toward the American dream and toward the common working man…

    The Grimm brother’s father was a successful lawyer, who died in 1796. After their father’s death, the Grimm brothers were left with all the household responsibilities. As the two eldest of six children, Jacob and Wilhelm became very mature and helped their family by taking all the responsibilities. They were very creative and intelligent. They used their intelligence and creativity for studies and writing. The Brothers Grimm wrote hundreds of fairy tales in their lifetime by using their own childhood experiences as reference. Because of the hard life they faced growing up, they faced many problems but were able to overcome them with their writing. The main purpose of the fairytale is to teach life lessons and themes which will help us in future. A common theme in fairy tales is that the princess is dominated by the terrible step mother and step sisters. Another theme that is common in fairy tales is that “Do good and good will come to you” and last but not the least “Girl Power”. Fairytales that have those reoccurring themes are Snow white, Cinderella, Beauty and the…

"bring us back to life" if you will, as we grow up we open our eyes to the possibility of landing flat on our face and throwing up a poisonous apple and dealing with life on our own before our "prince" comes to save us.…
