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 sides of the “opinion section” and it gave me a better sense of what she took away from the readings. She mentions “true love is real”, but “support and encouragement from loved once can definitely help turn rags to riches”. I really like her ending to that blog because she I was able to connect with her and share some similar values. She also talked about how she really enjoyed the Cinderella tales. Specifically, the Disney version.

In blog 5 Jocelyn started with what she was going to talk about in her blog. I like how she set that up so I would not be confused and lost when reading through. She then made sure she mention what exact Snow White tale she was referencing. Her use of adjectives reveals her stance and and take on how the tables have reflected upon her.
Overall, I really like the background style of the blog itself. It adds a different touch to the theme. To me it makes me want to read what she is saying because it stands out and is no a boring white background. All of the bogs are uniform and have a sense of identification. The language is very sophisticated and it not simplistic. It adds depth and shows the reader of her blog that Jocelyn took the time to read and understand before she explained. lol I also found out that her favorite color is pink and so is mine so her blogs made ,e very happy by just looking at them.

The Frog King vs. The Swan Maiden

"The Beauty and The Beast" “The Frog King” and “The Swan Maiden” are tales that are supposed to resemble the plot of beauty and the beast. In “The Frog King”, the frog was the special prince at the ending of the tale. However, at the end of “the Swan Maiden” the swan was the special princess. These two tales both have a similar background and story, but they put emphasis on the gender of the hero/heroine. In the original beauty and the beast, beauty loved beast for he was and overlooked the physical aspect of  him. She made sure she took advantage of the time they had together and did not miss out on any opportunity to cherish the moment. In “The Frog King”(aka tale one), the princess is the one in search of a man. She comes into contact with a frog who she throws around. However, when she throw him around one good time, he hits the wall and turns into this handsome prince. This prince tells beauty that he has a spell against him so he need to head to the kingdom so t...

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...
