Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Caroline. She had blonde, wavy hair that stopped just below her shoulders, blue eyes, and a natural blush that lightened up her whole face. However, Caroline was not just a princess, but also a witch. She came from a strong and powerful witch line named the Shapiro witches. Caroline’s mother, Rebekah, was the queen of Lokiville and was a witch, unlike King Stefan. When Caroline turned thirteen, she started to gain her powers. Queen Rebekah helped control her powers and showed her a few easy spells from her Grimoire (a book of spells that witches use). As the years went by Caroline was almost as strong as her mother and could do difficult spells.
One day, the king and queen went on a trip to another kingdom when Caroline was eighteen. On their way to the kingdom their carriage was stopped. The king and queen heard screams and were frightened. Stefan stepped out and said “Stay here, I will come back. Use your magic if necessary.” Stefan looked around and saw blood splattered on the floor. As he turned around to go back to the queen, a figure appeared with veins around his face and sharp teeth, and bit the king on his neck until he sucked him dry of blood. Rebekah heard Stefan scream and ran out of the carriage. She saw her husband being killed and began chanting in Latin until the figure fell to the floor in pain. She ran to Stefan but it was too late, he was dead. The queen sobbed next to her husband, when she was suddenly grabbed by the neck and also sucked on until dry.
The next day, news arrived to Lokiville that the king and queen were dead. Caroline could not handle the news and ran to the woods where her hiding spot behind the waterfall waited for her. When she arrived t...

...spell from her Grimoire. “Are you ready?” She turned and saw Klaus standing there with a glass full of his blood. “Yes.” The first step in becoming immortal was to drink a vampire’s blood. She chugged down the blood and tried not to barf it out. The second step was to die. They both decided that the fastest, painless death was to crack her neck. Klaus wrapped his hands around her neck and twisted it. She then fell to the floor dead. Klaus waited about half an hour until she opened her eyes and gasped for air. The third and last step of transitioning was to drink human blood whom Damon had agreed to be the donor of. When Caroline drank the blood, veins started to show on her face, her fangs grew and she felt her feelings for everything intensify. She put on the ring, and then they both left to travel the world and love each other for the rest of their immortal lives.
When Sophia and Princess Calizaire were four and seven years old, they were taken into foster care after their mother left them stranded at a motel. However, this simple abandonment led to a series of problems. Not only were they tossed from house to house as if they were trash, but they also suffered abuse from their foster families. On several occasions, the two sisters were beaten with belts, hangars, and heels, as well as having their heads submerged in sinks until they were near death; they ate dog food, slept outside, and were raped daily. Luckily, the two girls were able to survive, so that they may share their stories in adulthood. The women now live to warn others of the dangers of foster care, as they did through their interview with
. She claims that the proceeding force connected with lady as-witch in this combination creative ability handles the problem on the power that surpasses embellishment and design the particular discernment connected with witches and witchcraft throughout. Looking at these kind of queries could encourage selection that the mention of their imagination and prejudices attached to the particular "lady as-witch" idea that the current strain on females building in popularity can easily trigger anger these days. She slyly evaluates having less adequate traditional beliefs with regards to the part women performed inside creating our community, at a variety of instances.
Today, “60 percent of children who use the Internet regularly come into contact with pornography” (Hanes 1). In Stephanie Hanes’ article, “Little Girls or Little Women? The Disney Princess Effect”, she provides undeniable evidence to suggest that the culture of today’s world causes sexualization of children, specifically of females, at an alarmingly young age. This sexualization has become increasingly invasive in the past decade, so much so that parents, educators, and even more recently politicians have decided to try to counteract some these negative effects. In this article, Stephanie Hanes uses strong research with logical arguments that support this
“A maid accidentally pulled the countess’ hair while combing it; Countess Elizabeth Bathory instinctively slapped the girl on the ear, but so hard she drew blood. The servant girl’s blood spurted onto Elizabeth’s hands...the countess noticed that as the blood dried, her own skin seemed to take the whiteness and the youthful quality of the young girl’s skin.” (Rodrigues 15).
Karis started darting to a field by the house that got robbed. When she got to the field she put her noes on the ground beside a picture of a family. Mother picked it up and went over to the man that owned the house.
Similar characteristics of vampires are evident in The Vampire Diaries, The Twilight Saga, and Stoker’s Dracula. Vampires in The Vampire Diaries become immortal, live, and die in similar ways to Stoker’s Dracula. In The Vampire Diaries, to become a vampire, a human has to die with vampire blood in their system. In the first episode, “The Return,” of season two. Caroline Forbes is in critical condition with her health and her friends, some of which are vampires, decide that to restore her health, she needs to ingest Damon, a vampire’s, blood. Katherine Pierce, the evil doppelganger of Elena, then murders Caroline to make her presence in the town known to the Salvatore Brothers. This ultimately makes Caroline a vampire. Life as an immortal being in The Vampire Diaries allows vampires to compel human minds, manipulating them. Katherine Pierce often used this technique to get what she wanted. Despite the longevity of life that has power perks, to kill the vampires, a wooden stake driven through the heart will suffice. These characteristics are apparent in Bram Stoker’s Dracula as well. Dracula compels Lucy to sleepwalk and come to him while unconscious during the night. He obtains the ability to compel or
First of all, throughout many cultures, physical characteristics associated with witches ring strangely the same. Anthropologist Philip Mayer says that witches typically bear a physical stigma, like a red eye for example (Mayer 56). In the Brother's Grimm fairytale "Hansel and Gretel," the witch shares this same beastly characteristic. Also, people usually cast off as witches are typically always old women. In Slovakia, Milan Mramuch accused his elderly neighbor of witchcraft and allegedly beat the old woman to death (Whitmore). In "Hansel and Gretel" the witch who lives in the tempting, candy house is an old crippled woman and in the Brother's Grimm fairytale "Snow White," the witch who was an elegant queen, performs her craft disguised as an old peasant woman.
Upon meeting the King on his death bed, the physician decides to outwit Death by turning the King around so that Death was standing the King’s head instead of his feet and giving the King the special herb. While upset, Death warns the physician that he forgives him because the man is Death’s godson. Unfortunately, soon the King’s daughter falls upon her own death bed, the physician again se...
Disney is a brand synonymous with magic and fairytales – their princesses play a huge role in that mysticism. In the debate considering which one is the best, we can examine the message of the corresponding film, the princess’s aesthetic, and the audience’s reception to their film. In comparing the princesses: Belle, Moana, Elsa, and Mulan, all post-modern Disney princesses – Moana is the best.
Caroline then replied, "You must have known the murderer already, or else you would not be so quiet." "It is precisely because Mr. Poirot had not told me the murderer that I am so quiet. Caroline knew that no matter how hard she tried, Dr. Sheppard, being as stubborn as he usually were, would not have told her anything, so she gave up. Dr. Sheppard had concealed his secret excellently, and not even Caroline found out that he was going to poison himself. That night, Dr. Sheppard had already got the draught ready, and he was about to drink it, but at that moment, his sister knocked on the door and entered his room.
Billions and billions of people in the world have had their childhood shaped by the words of a single man from a small European country. He is Hans Christian Andersen, born in Odense, Denmark in the year 1805. From “The Ugly Duckling” to “The Little Mermaid,” his stories filled our lives in the form of the faded pages on books, mother’s gentle voice next to the fireside, colorful Disney animations completed with cheerful songs, and stunning snow-blanketed movie scenes. This essay seeks to discuss this great author in the context of one of his most influential works – “The Princess and the Pea” – by first examining the context of his life, then presenting a brief summary, followed
Once given birth to a beautiful baby girl, often parents refer to her as their little princess; when having a newborn girl, that baby girl will often get all the attention from her surroundings, she will be showered in the most adorable dresses; cute shoes , baby clothes that say “princess” on it and either a bow or a bedazzled head band, perhaps a room that is nothing but pink, letters on her wall over looking her crib saying “Mommy’s little Princess”. There is nothing wrong with spoiling your baby girl. But as time goes her idea of her gender role begins to develop. Buying her princess toys, surrounding her with pink, and watching the Disney movies about how princesses are beautiful, always gets her prince charming, and lives an enchanted life for ever after, is a dangerous “reality” to create for young girls. Eventually, while growing up from child years to young adults, girls in this type of environment can develop a gender constructed identity that, they are superior and deserve an enchanted life. It’s a dangerous reality for these young girls because they will grow up to believe that, they’re entitled to the fairy tale life, having pure beauty , marry her dream man, conceive beautiful children and live happily ever after, but sometimes life is not a fairy tale and you don’t always end up getting what you want.

What do you want to be when you grow up? When I was five years old my dream was to grow up and become one of the Disney princesses. As Princess Aurora said, “They say if you dream a thing more than once, it is sure to come true”. Unfortunately, I grew up and did not become a Disney princess, however, they still played a big role in my childhood as they do with most young girls. There are many controversies about the effects Disney princesses have on young girls, so should they be exposed to one of Disney’s most iconic images when they are so vulnerable?
As Auður Eva Guðmundsdóttir said, “Fairytales are mystical, magical stories and it’s quite unusual for them to be based on real life events.” The tale of Anastasia, however, proves to be very distinct from all other fairy tales. The real story of the Grand Duchess Anastasia is an enchanted tale with a doomed finish and proves to be unlike any other fairy tale. Another point which verifies this story as a different type of fairy tale is that it is actually based on events that occurred in history. So how much of the story of Anastasia is fictional, and how much is history?
