This is due to the state that Lois is in throughout the story. Lucy is not alive in a body, but in the obsession of Lois’s mind. Society deals with death in many ways, whether it is in ritual or locking it behind a wall in the mind. Lois locks Lucy in the depths of her perception and mind as shown by the paintings she has collected, “every one of them is a picture of Lucy. You can’t see her exactly. But she’s there, in behind the pink stone island or the one behind that.” (Atwood 129). Due to the disturbance that Lois is dealing with it’s explainable that this is Lois’s way of coping with Lucy’s death. However this end doesn’t solve the question the reader frequently asks. Where, why and how did Lucy die? The questions which cannot be answered neither by the reader or Lois. Leaving out the answer creates the dreadful terror that humans pursue, the answer of death and it’s unexplainable control of events.

These fairy tales were drastically misunderstood throughout many centuries, however. They endured a hard life of constant changing and editing to fit what the people of that time wanted. People of our own time are responsible for some of the radical changes endured by this undeserved genre. Now, these fairy tales had a young friend named Belle. Belle thought she knew fairy tales very well, but one day she found out just how wrong she was.

There are many examples of friendship everywhere in the book, but the most effective one I found was the following, "Then a small faraway voice is saying,” ‘Put your hands up, villain!' and I really am falling and the air is coming back into my lungs so fast it hurts. I'm lying there all crumpled up sideways. I can see Freak. He's rolled down through the cellar window into the pile of coal, and he's trying to stand
Friendship “When you’re up in life, your friends get to know who you are. When you’re down in life, you get to know who your friends are.” - Anonymous.

In a society unbridled with double standards and set views about women, one may wonder the origins of such beliefs. It might come as a surprise that these ideals and standards are embedded and have been for centuries in the beloved fairy tales we enjoyed reading as kids. In her analytical essay, “To Spin a Yarn: The Female Voice in Folklore and Fairy Tales”, Karen Rowe argues that fairy tales present “cultural norms which exalt passivity, dependency, and self-sacrifice as a female’s cardinal virtues.” Rowe presents an excellent point, which can be supported by versions of the cult classics, “Cinderella” and “Snow White”. Charles Perrault’s “ The Little Glass Slipper” and the Brothers Grimm’s “ Snow White” exemplify the beliefs that
Fairy Tales and Gender Roles Some things about fairy tales we know to be true. They begin with "once upon a time." They end with "happily ever after." And somewhere in between the prince rescues the damsel in distress. Of course, this is not actually the case. Many fairytales omit these essential words. But few fairytales in the Western tradition indeed fail to have a beautiful, passive maiden rescued by a vibrant man, usually her superior in either social rank or in moral standing. Indeed, it is precisely the passivity of the women in fairy tales that has led so many progressive parents to wonder whether their children should be exposed to them. Can any girl ever really believe that she can grow up to be president or CEO or an

Be someone you’r not and your almost generated to win over the prince, and be admired by all. Two weeks ago, my daughter and I spent nearly two hours waiting in a line at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom to meet her favorite princess, Ariel. While in line I couldn't help but notice the joy all the children expressed in meeting this larger than life heroine, and just how much of an impact she had on them. But, is Areal really a hero? And does this fairy tale send the right message to children, especially little girls? The story of a rebellious thrill seeking ginger (no, I’m not referring to Lindsay Lohan) who trades her talent, and gives up everything and everyone she knows in order to fit-in a world she scarcely knows and win the favor of a charming
