Fairy Tales

So we didn’t talk about all the stories in class on Tuesday, but I found that “The Snow Child” was so strange. At first you think that he wants a daughter, but in reality he is only seeking someone to whom he would be attracted physically. Therefore, the ending was very strange, since it seemed [...]

So it’s 5:00 that means that everyone has turned in their papers. How do you feel? I must say I feel relieved, I always do after I turn something in because there really is nothing more I can do at that point, it has been turned in. We still have revisions, but we will have [...]

Did anyone else find this story really interesting? It is so different from usual fairy tales, there is not as much bad things happening to people.

Hey everyone, how are your revisions going? I am doing mine and I find it complicated to revise my paper. I hope its better than the draft, but its a different argument so we’ll see how it goes won’t we. Well good luck everyone and I hope you are having a better time with your [...]

I realized as I was reading Snow White that there are many similarities to other stories within this story. Snow White is “white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony”.  This is similar to the boy in the Juniper Tree. Also their conception is similar since the mothers both somehow bleed [...]

Hey guys thanks for the help at the draft workshop. I enjoyed reading all your letters. It was a good thing and I got a lot out of the experience. My revised draft will be much better now, well I hope it will be. Thanks everyone!

Okay I have definitely finished writing my essay and that makes me happy. I hope it makes sense and that others can understand what I mean. I wrote about Lin Lan and how Beauty is not really a nice person, she has a dark side…See you all later and I’m sure we will be reading [...]

Well I am unsure about which Cinderella I want to write about. I was thinking of doing the catskin one, but now I am not sure since the essay is a more close reading and so it would be harder for me to pick one thing or subject to write about when there are so [...]
