Sleeping Beauty-Sun, Moon And Taila

Getting old happens to everyone, it’s part of life. What we don’t realize or even think about is the way we treat these people. Some old people are impaired, or have injuries that prevent them from doing the things that we do. In several stories/folktales/poems, they have a universal theme of treating others, specifically elders, fairly, especially if they are impaired. Two very different poems/folk tales share this same theme, but have other different elements of the story. “The Old Grandfather and His Little Grandson” (folk tale) and “Abuelito Who” (poem) are the stories that will have their differences compared.

Some myths and/or stereotypes about older adults in this movie are: old adult have money, they are last seen for professional health support, and lastly they are too old to do anything.

It is easy to try to take advantage of the older community because they are trusting people and it does happen a lot. The movie also does a good job showing the other side of the spectrum of not all older adult has loads of inheritance to pass

“The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it,” explains Rafiki, the wise baboon from The Lion King, to Simba, a young cub, in order to teach him a valuable lesson: to use other peoples’ mistakes to avoid making the same ones; when people reflect on their past and are willing to confront the mistakes head on, they can be very successful. Waking Sleeping Beauty, directed by Don Hahn, gives viewers an inside look from 1984 to 1994 when Disney reached the peak of “The Disney Renaissance”—during this period of time, Disney Animation Studios produced some of their best animated movies. Although Disney was successful during this era, it took a lot of work for them to get to

It’s always been a very popular idea to have a main protagonist who is older. Many modern novels and short stories still use this idea. Sometimes there is no reason to this choice, while other times the character’s age is crucial to the storyline. Examples of the latter can be found in “Old Rogaum and His Theresa,” “The Revolt of ‘Mother,’” and “Under the Lion’s Paw.” In all of these short stories the main characters are older characters who have a late coming-of-age and change their lives. This change results in a shift towards a more progressive, modern way of thinking.

The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer, helps teach how people thought and lived during the fourteenth century through the tales told. Some tales are just happy stories, while others are intense and have a moral. One can tell a lot about the person telling the tale and their personal views.

Gaiman opens with a short background on how the Queen attained her royal status. Through her narration, we learn that she had been just an average village girl when the King swept through her town and took his “king’s right”. Quite early on Gaiman begins this analysis on the inequality that exists between men and women. The Queen never questions the King when he takes what he believes to be his, in this case the Queen’s innocence. Gaiman establishes the Queen as a relatable character because of her average beginnings. Because of this it will be much easier for the reader to sympathize for her alter in the story. The reader is naturally more inclined to

Spanning across cultures and history, the figure of Baba Yaga is seen in Russian and Lithuanian folklore as the goddess of birth and death. Baba Yaga appears as both a kind grandmother figure as well as a wicked witch. The power of Baba Yaga rests in her ability to grant adulthood and numerous other gifts as well as her power to take away life and cause death. The multifaceted nature of Baba Yaga is first hinted at by the duality of her name itself. The first part of her name “Baba” means “wise old woman” or “grandmother”, while Yaga (also seen as “Jaga”) means “evil woman”, “witch”, “horror” and “wrath,”(Alkman, 2006).

She feels as though if her husband is incapable of becoming king she will do what is necessary herself in seeing that she is queen.

Most fairy tales involve characters with heroic tasks to complete in order to grow. They might have legendy strength, or a genie to help them. Sleeping Beauty is different because it involves long periods of concentration. Sleeping Beauty has been argued to represent the time period before and during adolescence. Children often need to go through a period of deep thought. Some may mistake this for inactivity, but their minds are still developing. Many children will make up for this inactivity after puberty, and will become successful in life (Bettelheim 225).

Despite today’s fairy tales having positive moral intentions they have been adapted from earlier versions which often can be very different and much more sinister. The fairy tale “Sun, Moon, and Talia” by Giambattista Basile formed the basis for the more commonly known Disney interpretation called the “Sleeping Beauty” however they are vastly different, Basile’s original is a very dark and twisted story compared to the Disney version.

The three main versions of Sleeping Beauty are the Charles Perrault in 1697, which was adapted from the original fairy tale Sun, Moon, and Talia by Giambattistas Basile in 1634.
