In the article “Searching For The Self, And Other Unicorns,” Peg O’Connor states it is important to improve ourselves and understand who we are by discovering our relationships with others and the world. She also states how books are always there for us to help what to do in life but it makes people “authentic self”. O’Connor states how self absorbed people are only concerned with what affects them but what not that useful (51). She also asserts how identity is the most important thing to us and we only care about that and it doesn't help us find who we are or our true identity. O’Connor points out how no one really perfect and it is always a work in progress (51). O'Connor describes how important it is to look outward toward surroundings

It is considered a worldwide commonly known fact that unicorns are a genetic impossibility that were nothing but the drunken imaginings of sailors and beggars (Unicorn). However, in modern times scientists believe the Big Bang is the only possibility when it comes to the creation of the universe. Simply because something is generally believed by everyone does not make it a one hundred percent true fact. If no one bothers to look past the truth of their parents, how would it be possible for them to find their own truth? The moment people begin to believe what they are told with no questions the progress of the world will halt. The next point that appeared in texts written both by Karen Edwards (Unicorns) and Lee Walters (The Possibility Of Unicorns),

I have an entire playlist dedicated to Disney music. Their songs and movies can make anyone smile no matter how bitter you are. Everybody has watched Disney movies back when they were a kid, and have always regarded as happily-ever-after stories. But that was not always the case. What if I told you that in the original Cinderella the stepsisters chopped off parts of their feet to try to get the infamous glass shoe to fit. But how did it get from chopping feet to turning a pumpkin into an extravagant carriage? Was it media? All forms of media have a big effect on the general conception; from the printing press and Thomas Jefferson to televised news and Donald Trump. Or did our ever changing society create this facade of happily-ever-after that is sought after so often? In the article Fairy Tales and a Dose of Reality by Catherine Orenstein she utilizes historical references and allusions to modern media and challenges the perception of fairy tales and expose them as media-manipulated, romanticized stories.

“Ahh so you are the one that everyone has been talking about!” the doctor said.

A story about a young girl who lives with her evil stepmother and just as evil stepsisters. This girl just wants to be free of her laborious life, with the help of a magical fairy godmother, she achieves this dream by meeting a prince, and with a little extra help from some critters she lives a happy life with the prince. This is considered to be the most recognized version of Cinderella, a template of sorts. Now consider, as Bonnie Cullen does, author of “The Rise of Perrault’s “Cinderella”” and “The Lion and the Unicorn”, that this template is as iconic, memorable, and viewed by many as the truest Cinderella, and now moving on from Cullens beliefs a new modernized version emerges from Hollywood studios. This new version is as Karol Kelly,

In the Middle Ages the unicorn was thought of as being a strong and fierce animal associated with chastity and virginity. It was during this time that unicorns began appearing in artwork and tapestries. The Unicorn Tapestries have been one of the most popular tapestry wall hangings since the medieval era.

The Unicorns’ legend first started in the 4th century BCE. The first written account of the unicorn was in the western literature that came from the greek doctor Ctesias in the 4th century BCE when the legendary of a unicorn started. The unicorn was described in the ancient greeks in account of natural history by many writers. In medieval times , since the unicorn was a big thing, many people sold narwhals tusks to replicate the unicorns horn. Natural history writers were convinced of the reality of unicorns that they located it in India.

The griffin and unicorn are both beautiful creatures made by the gods. Unicorns are mythical creatures from the Roman times that had the body of a large horse and the strength of 25 horses. But what made it special is the fact that it had a spiraling, golden horn projecting from it's forehead that had magical healing powers. Kings and emperors would like to have unicorns during times of war to heal soldiers.

In the Last Unicorn, once the unicorn learns that she is the last of her kind and leaves the safety of her forest to search for the others. While in isolation, the unicorn lacks the experience of emotions that carry the wisdom she needs to save the unicorns from King Haggard and the Red Bull. As a unicorn, she cannot feel love and never “can never regret” (Beagle 55), but she fears the Red Bull who tries to herd her into the sea. However, it is not only her lack of emotions that make her weak in the beginning but her failure to control her fear and challenge the Bull weakens her character. During the first confrontation of the Bull, “the moment the unicorn faced him, frozen as wave about to break. Then the light of her horn went out, and she turned and fled” (Beagle 113). Characters need a stereotype baseline to grow from, and in this case, the unicorn becomes a damsel in distress saved by Schmendrick the Magician by transforming her into a human. A character needs to experience a moment of weakness in order to grow as a character and be strong enough to challenge the powerful villains. Her fear adds another dimension to her because the readers know that she is not impervious to failure even though she is a magical creature much greater than man. This confrontation with the bull provokes the growth of the unicorn because as a mortal, she will experience the emotions necessary to be strong enough to conquer King Haggard and his Red Bull. The initial confrontation serves to
