The Tale of Two Sons and the Story of Sayaka Miki are both very distinctly differing accounts, yet both have a similar outcome. The two accounts share an identical moral: be careful what you wish for. Brothers: Tale of Two Sons -a game made by Starbreeze Studios- is about two brothers, Naia and Naiee, who journey far into their setting encountering trolls, giants, and even an owl griffin to scour for the tree of life to cure their lethally ill father. The brothers mother had drowned after falling out of a boat sometime before, leaving Naiee traumatized and developing a phobia of water. Nevertheless, the boys helped each other swim, climb, and venture onward. Nearing the end of their adventure they encounter a girl whom they save along their way from being sacrificed. She seduces Naia, the older brother, but soon reveals herself to be Arachne, a giant spider-human hybrid, and wounds Naia.

Her soul is placed into a "Soul Gem" which harvests energy from the destruction of a young girl's soul. This happens when the girl's Soul Gem becomes too dark and corrupt and turns into a Grief Seed, which is a witch's darkness that is also used purify other Soul Gems. She follows through with the offer and cures her crush as well as becomes a "Magical Girl." Soon after, her crush is asked out by another girl, and Sayaka goes on a self-destructive path; killing "familiars" (underdeveloped witches) which are only consuming her stamina and not replenishing her Soul Gem it in any way. She soon dies as her own darkness consumes

In the two short stories “Brothers are the Same” by Beryl Markham and “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing two main characters go head to head on quests or “rites of passage”.

Most children experience agony and hope as they face the struggles of sibling rivalry throughout their childhood. This situation has been experienced by children, of whom may or may not have siblings, for hundreds of years. Several stories represent this crisis, including the Biblical story of Abel and Cain which was written over 3000 years ago. Abel of whom was forced to be Cain’s ash-brother. Cain had developed an intense feeling of jealousy of Abel when his offering to the Lord was rejected while Abel’s was accepted. This caused him great agony, but he wasn’t the only one. The fairytale “Cinderella” encompasses the ideas of sibling rivalry as well as the agonies and hopes that correspond with it.

The Story of Two Brothers (Blackfoot Indian) consists of two brothers, Nopatsis, the elder, and Akaiyan, the younger. The story starts off by mentioning the evil woman that Nopatsis is married to, the reason for her being “evil” is because she lusted for Akaiyan. She used many techniques to seduce the younger brother but at the same time tried to convince Nopatsis to send Akaiyan away. The wife then makes a plan that would force Nopatsis to get rid of his younger brother. When Nopatsis returns he finds his wife with ripped clothing and the wife says that Akaiyan tried to rape her. Every summer people gather by the waterfowl molt to gathered small feathers for their arrows. Since Nopatsis lived near the shores of a lake, the brothers decided to gather the feathers together. Nopatsis takes Akaiyan far from the shore in a quiet dense area and while Akaiyan was busy gathering feathers, Nopatsis leaves him to die on the island. He knew that his younger brother wouldn’t be able to swim back to the shore because the lake was deep and prone to sudden storms. Akaiyan tries to convince Nopatsis into believing that his wife was lying across the lake, but it was too late. Akaiyan knowing his chances of surviving looks into the water and prays to the nature spirits to help him, calls the Sun and the Moon to vindicate him. He then builds himself a shelter and uses ducks/geese for food and clothing. Everything changes once a little beaver invites Akaiyan to visit his family’s den. Wh...
Produced in 2009, The Frog Princess is a Disney animation inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ fairytale, The Frog Prince. Both The Frog Princess and The Frog Prince deal with a multiplicity of issues, all of which contribute to supporting positive messages and morals (Ceaser, 2009). However, though The Frog Princess is based on a classic fairytale, it is far from being the same. The writers at Disney have taken a classic fairytale and created a “Monster” (Prince, 2001). This essay will examine the evolution of the original Grimm Brothers’ fairytale, the messages both main characters represent, and how the adaptation to fit a modern child readership diminishes a classic fairytale. Through discussing these arguments, this paper will prove that Disney’s adaptation into The Princess and The Frog is counter-productive in representing the original story’s messages, morals, and values.
