Cinderella- Blog 6

CINDERELLA

In the Disney’s Cinderella, the main character is a girl who is under the care of her evil stepmother. She resides with her step mother and two ugly and jealous step sisters. Cinderella was supposed to be enslaved and wear here ready clothes. She did a lot of work around the house and always had to do the dirty work for her sisters. It isn’t until Cinderella’s fairy godmother comes up that she starts to transform and eve have a chance at attending the royal ball. The fairy godmother is Cinderella’s token to becoming royalty. Without her Cinderella may not have been a beautiful princess to the prince by the end of the story.

From this version it is possible that one can reach success or riches with magic. The fairy godmother had lost of magic tricks up her sleeve that helped Cinderella get to where she ended. I do not think there is any other way Cinderella would have been able to get to the prince if she did not have the few hours of royalty. When the magic was sued she was given the glass slippers. This was the significant symbol that really had a turning point in Cinderella’s life. But again, this all started with the magic from the godmother.

However, this is not realistic. Yes, some people believe in magic and magic tricks, but in my opinion I do not think one can become rich based off magic. I also do not believe in fairies, so having one to grant my wishes are not my cup of tea. Now achieving success and riches through marriage may be more accessible than through magic. One can marry into a rich family and then have children who can inherit those goods and possessions. This may help them become richer faster. Still, this motif is not generally realistic, but under some slim circumstances it can be achieved.

Big Bad Wolf/Red Riding Hood Blog 3

Big Bad Wolf/Red Riding Hood Budd Root created this cartoon titled “Big Bad Wolf/Red Riding Hood. This is a social cartoon that could be for pure entertainment. But, I think it is meant for more of an adult audience. Still, this cartoon could also be a representation of how Root sees the tale Little red Riding Hood. The cartoon has a very sexual appeal with a beast like figure. The wolf looks as if he wants to devour red riding hood and from the persona of riding hood one may not blame him for having this desire. In this cartoon, there are the two main characters; the wolf and Red Riding Hood. Usually red riding hood is “little” but in this cartoon, however, she is resembling a woman who is comfortable revealing herself and showing lots of skin. She is not depicted as innocent and naive but more seductive and mature. Her cape does not cover the majority of her body and her clothing underneath is very slim. In the original tale of Little Red Riding Hood the little girl was dresse

Jocelyn's Blog Review I read Jocelyn Hill’s blogs and found out some interesting information about her. In her most recent blog she shared an anecdote about a personal experience that related to the presentation given by K’Olewe’s. Not only did she do that, but she also slowly progressed into the “answer” to the question. She spoke about what stuck out to her the most and what she enjoyed. She was also very descriptive in her language about the lady who came to visit. She said how she wore a "detailed beaded anklet". I felt as if I was present. Most times when I did my blog I just spoke about the topic at hand, so it was interesting to read her blog and see the difference in style. Moving on to her other two blogs I really like the pictures and the short video she incorporated. She added the picture that correlated to what she was discussing in the blog. In blog 6 she again found a way to tie the fairytale to a scenario in reality. Jocelyn played and argued both

Children as a hero

CHILDREN AS A HERO In the Little Red Riding Hood, the main character is a girl who is on a journey to her grandmother’s house. She could be called a hero because she defeats the wolf and then escape. For example, in the story The False Grandmother there was the ogress who was portrayed as the wolf. The little girl, outsmarted the wolf and he was not able to go after her when she started to run back home. The girl saved herself, unfortunately she was too late to save her grandmother. In this story, the little girl had a lot on her shoulders and she was in the woods alone. Thinking about how that went about she is the true definition of a heroine. She was able to defeat the “scary villain” even being alone. She had to learn the task to overcome through the midst of trouble. In the tales Hansel and Gretel, the children are heroes because they save one another from being harmed. In most versions of the tale, one of the children leave a trail of whatever they have so they can rememb
