Recommended: The moral values of fairy tales

A long time ago, there was a girl named Snow White. As you may know, Snow White is “the fairest of them all.” Because of this, her evil stepmother has hired a witch to put Snow White to sleep forever. What her stepmother doesn’t know is that the witch is not going to put Snow White to sleep, instead she plans on banishing Snow White to the Neverending Woods, where Snow will live the rest of her life, never to escape.
All of that has yet to happen, right now, Snow is getting ready to go out and buy supplies from the market. On her way, she finds an old lady standing on the side of the road. The lady looked as sweet as the apples she was picking, but she also looked poor. Snow, being the generous person she is, decided to buy an apple from …show more content…

In this new world, Snow looked around but all she could see were trees. Of course there were hills too, and all other landforms that occurred in a forest, but the forest never ended. This startled Snow, but she was determined to keep her spirits high. This must be some kind of trick, she thought, there must be some way to get out of here. Snow spent a long time thinking about her options of escape, but then she started to realise that it was getting darker. Snow knew that in the forest, nighttime is when the harmful animals come out. Fearing the wolves and foxes, Snows new objective was to create a shelter, and then a fire if she had …show more content…

Maybe there was someone there with her who also needed shelter. So, Snow went looking for this person, but as far as she could tell, her shelter had just vanished. Because she had already used up all the sticks at her height, she went to grab her ax tool, her leaves, and her extra clothes (she came with them because she was going to the market), but she couldn’t find her ax either. So grabbing what she could, she thought while she walked. “Maybe,” said snow, thinking out loud, “There is some kind of animal that is stealing the things that I make.” But when she thought about animals, she realised how much she needed to

    1482 Words  | 3 Pages

    While Snow Falling on Cedars has a well-rounded cast of characters, demands strong emotional reactions, and radiates the importance of racial equality and fairness, it is not these elements alone that make this tale stand far out from other similar stories. It is through Guterson’s powerful and detailed imagery and settings that this story really comes to life. The words, the way he uses them to create amazing scenes and scenarios in this story, makes visualizing them an effortless and enjoyable task. Streets are given names and surroundings, buildings are given color and history, fields and trees are given height and depth, objects are given textures and smells, and even the weather is given a purpose in the...

    He fig-ured that the normal half hour walk home might take as long as two hours in snow this deep. And then there was the wind and the cold to contend with. The wind was blowing across the river and up over the embankment making the snow it carried colder and wetter than the snow blanketing the ground. He would have to use every skill he’d learned, living in these hills, to complete the journey without getting lost, freezing to death, or at the very least ending up with a severe case of frostbite be-fore he made it back to Ruby.

    I prepared myself for the upcoming adventurous day. I set out along a less-traveled path through the woods leading to the shore. I could hear every rustle of the newly fallen leaves covering the ground. The brown ground signaled the changing of seasons and nature's way of preparing for the long winter ahead. Soon these leaves would be covered with a thick layer of snow. The leaves still clinging to the trees above displayed a brilliant array of color, simultaneously showing the differences of each and the beauty of the entire forest.

    The story of Snow White, simply told, begins with a queen who yearns for a child. She is granted this wish, but dies as soon as her fine-looking daughter was born. The kind remarries a handsome but wickedly prideful woman with a magic mirror which she regularly asks, “Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” The mirror answers that she, the queen, is the most beautiful until Snow White grows into a strikingly beautiful young woman. Then the mirror begins to answer that Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than the queen. Unable to stand being second in beauty to anyone, the queen tells a woodsman to take Snow White to the woods and kill her. He has pity, however, and lets Snow Whi...

  • Naturalism in Jack London's To Build a Fire

    1273 Words  | 3 Pages

    When the narrator introduced the main character of the story, the man, he made it clear that the man was in a perilous situation involving the elements. The man was faced with weather that was 75 degrees below zero and he was not physically or mentally prepared for survival. London wrote that the cold "did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold."(p.1745) At first when the man started his journey to the camp, he felt certain that he could make it back to camp before dinner. As the trip progressed, the man made mistake after mistake that sealed his fate. The man's first mistake was to step into a pool of water and soak his legs to the knees. This blunder forced the man to build a fire to dry his wet socks and shoes so his feet would not freeze and become frostbitten. When the man began to build a fire he failed to notice that he was doing so under a large, snow laden spruce tree where he was getting his firewood. When the man had a small fire that was beginning to smolder the disturbance to the tree caused the snow to tumble to the ground and extinguish the fire. "It was his own fault or, rather, his mistake. He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built it in the open."(1750).

  • Analysis Of Neil Gaiman's 'Snow, Glass, Apples'

    1694 Words  | 4 Pages

    Neil Gaiman’s “Snow, Glass, Apples” is far from the modern day fairy tale. It is a dark and twisted version of the classic tale, Snow White. His retelling is intriguing and unexpected, coming from the point of view of the stepmother rather than Snow White. By doing this, Gaiman changes the entire meaning of the story by switching perspectives and motivations of the characters. This sinister tale has more purpose than to frighten its readers, but to convey a deeper, hidden message. His message in “Snow, Glass, Apples” is that villains may not always be villains, but rather victims.

    Roses are red, violets are blue, Snow White has changed, everything’s new. This is a different beginning than the original story of Little Snow White by the Grimm Brothers and retold by the director Rupert Sanders, in the movie Snow White and the Huntsman.

The evil queen has been jealous of Snow White after she has grown up and become more beautiful.

Unfortunately, due to the man’s ego or rather lack of common sense, he ends up freezing to death on the trail and never makes it to the camp. This story is full of foreshadowing, irony and is about Naturalism in the sense of man verses nature.
