Origins of The Story of the Three Bears

The idea of a werewolf is well known to many people – classically, a normal human who turns into a ravenous beast when the conditions are right – and authors have written multitudinous stories on the subject. One such story – The Lay of the Were Wolf by Marie de France – is an early depiction of the monster. Also familiar is the tale of Little Red Riding Hood – the story of a little girl and her encounters with a crafty wolf is timeless. The girl and the monster were juxtaposed – quite literally at one point – by Angela Carter in two of her short stories titled The Werewolf and The Company of Wolves. These three stories and their representations of monsters provide insight on their authors’ definition of humanity.

Robin Hood was adventuring in Sherwood Forest seeking a great animal kill. It wasn't for the thrill of a hunt but rather the pride of presenting a grand beast for the guest attending his wedding banquet. Robin Hood was hoping, nay, expecting to present an elk or at least a bore to his guest. In the corner of his eye, Robin Hood noticed something strange moving in the distance. Thinking it was a bear, Robin Hood slowly and soundlessly creeps to get a better view of the creature. Robin hood was close, perhaps too close because when he got a full view of the creature and whispered excitement under his breath, the creature spun around to look Robin hood straight in the eyes.

Firstly, to create pathos, the author uses descriptive details. Throughout, the readers feel bad for the cubs for diverse reasons. For instance, the cubs are said to be newborns, which means that they are completely dependent on their parents. Hence, if their mother and father don’t come back they will die. Also, they are also described as blind which lowers their chance of survival drastically. At the very end of the story, the settler finds the cubs’ bodies decaying (page 87). The

The Koyukon Indians must know how to find the bear’s den. The den entrances are hidden beneath 18 inches of powdery snow and are given away to subtle clues that the koyukon are familiar with. One of the clues are patches where no grass protrudes because the bear as clawed it away for insulation and “faint cavities in the ground hinting of the footprint depressions in the moss below ”. After capturing the bear they must kill it in accordance to Koyukon customs and tradition. These rules and customs are set in place for the purpose of not disrupting the bear’s spirit and to show respect for the animal and the environment.

Dr. Seuss is probably the American writer who has so far had the greatest impact on children's literature. The intelligent usage of vivid illustrations, imaginative characters, and catchy rhymes made it easy for people who grew up reading these stories to recognize them. However, although the author worked tirelessly at his craft, he is not well-known since he did not seek after personal fame. Most of the fans to his literary materials are not well conversant with the details of his private life. For instance, most people are not aware that Dr. Seuss was not a doctor, but simply added the prefix to his pseudonym to provide credibility to the menagerie of characters in his works (Thompson 21). He worked as a writer and a cartoonist, publishing nearly more than sixty books. Some of the most famous pieces of his work include “Green Eggs and Ham” and the “The Cat in the Hat.”

Coach Bear was Alabama’s head coach for a 25 year span, from 1958 to 1982. During that span, he led Alabama to 323 total game wins, including seven national championships and 15 bowl wins.

It was kind of hard to feed everyone, but they made it happen. In 1722, the Iroquois had another tribe join them called The Tuscarora. After they joined the League of Nations became The Six Nations.

This comment hints at a subtle, but important shift in the story: Bobby’s own attitude toward the
