Growing up, I read many fables and tales of fiction. Two of the most notable being Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks. The reason for this is because they are so relatable to our own childhood of being mischievous, careless, and imaginable. In the story, “Little Red Riding Hood”,a young, obedient girl is given the task of traveling to help her sick granny. Little Red Riding Hood was very outgoing and courageous taking a trail though the woods. Even though she knew about a wolf in the woods,

Not all fairy tales are created equal, and not all of them are chockablock with pretty princesses, brave knights, evil witches and mean goblins. Read them with an open mind, and you'll see that fairy tales are fascinating tools to teach values and critical thinking to your children. Have you ever wondered why fairy tales are always in vogue, even with their gory violence, shallow characters and unbelievable storylines? When you look closely at them, you can find some sort of wisdom hidden underneath

Postmodernist thought has bought with it an interrogation of narrative strategies and ways of looking at myths, history and even fairytales. Postmodernism, as Hutcheon suggests works through parody to both legitimize and subvert that which it parodies.1 Postmodernism does not just offer to shed light on new critical capacities but also to rethink history and to signal present representations from past ones.

Another example that relates to this chapter would be the novel “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens. Which is about a boy Pip who is controlled by Mrs. Joe( evil step-mother). He then runs into Magwich (fairy godmother) who motivates Pip to learn and love Estella

The film The Princess Bride can be associated with many different genres. The story expresses many different genre elements, such as romance, action, and a comedy. Even though the movie shows all of these characteristics, I believe the movie should be mainly characterized as a fairytale. The film shares many characteristics with fairytale and fantasy movies, which I will list and discuss. I will be taking a closer look at the movie, and show how it compares to other fantasy and fairytale movies.

A non historical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly are accepted as historical can be called a legend. History past down by the oral tradition telling of previous events. Legends are a way to explain the unexplained that can not see touched, smelled, or tasted.

Once upon a time, there was a mighty Queen. This Queen was known for her brute force and short temper, and she was held high by her nationals. She was the queen of Changelings, a race of shapeshifting bug-ponies. One day, she had a foolproof plan to conquer a little kingdom called Equestria. All she had to do was intercept a royal wedding in Canterlot and use a surprise attack. It would be simple. She disguised her self as the bride.

1. Considering the title, it's no surprise that bees are a fundamental part of this novel. I like to think that in the beginning of the novel, when Lily captures a bee in the jar, the bee represents her mother, Deborah.
