Theme Speech: Hansl And Gretel

Picture this, a man or women living in poverty with their family they dreamed of having the life they always hoped for. The hope for opportunity and freedom that they wished for, imagine he or she take the few things they had getting on a boat only being able to afford to stay on the steerage deck heading to America. These people who made their way to America are known as immigrants and this was their chance to start a new life for themselves and family.

Hansel and Gretel is a fairy tale about two siblings who goes into the forest or woods looking for food. They ended up in a witch house and they almost become a meal for the cannibal witch. While Hansel and Gretel is a great fairy tale, but of course there are different version. There “Hansel and Gretel” used by Humperdinck 1890’s has both a father and mother figure, while the other version which is my version call “Hansel and Gretel: the witch hunters” have just a father figure. But like most fairy tale there is always a happy ending

Their telling of Hansel and Gretel’s heroic triumph exposed the witch to be a feeble old woman. No longer were the elderly women in the village diabolically terrifying. The dark forest and it’s mysteries were celebrated, instead of feared gathering place for witches Sabbaths. The tale of the gingerbread house with it’s cannibal witch became a moral teaching for disobedient children. This evolution of the witch carries on into modern times. Children around the world are read the story of Hansel and Gretel. Their triumph as caused the witch to be likened to the monster underneath the bed. Nothing to be scared of and certainly nothing to panic over. As Roper commented, “No longer the death dealing harpy, the old woman was cut down to size, reduced to a bogey to frighten children” (Roper

Gretel believed her brother was going crazy. Then (this is where I come in) they saw a giant house made of lots of candy and frosting. I remember the day like yesterday... I was inside making a new white chocolate fence to keep out unwanted visitors. Isn't that ironic how I decided to make a fence to keep out little brats like Hansel and Gretel.

A fat little boy was attacking my house and a small girl was sitting gnawing on a liquorice

Although Gretel is not one of the most beautiful characters, her play on words helps readers understand that larger is better. The use of parody to change the names of well known fairy tale characters to reflect some element of weightiness allows the writer to make her point in a light hearted but effective manner.

First, In “Hansel and Gretel” the author uses the forests a dark and unforgivable place. The woods was the places that the parents left their kids, and where the witch who tries to kill them. This shows that the woods in this story were not meant to be happy and positive, but a dark and scary place. Secondly, Howard Pyle the author of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood

Everyone knew about the screwball of a witch, Harriet, who lived in the back of the woods.
