In these fairy tales, “Little Red Riding hood” and “Little Red Hood” has the same message/ theme that the author delivers to the readers. The author also illustrates the settings, characterization, tone/mood, and just other things. In these fairy tales the author use characterization to rely the message he is trying to get at. In “Little Red Riding Hood,” the little country girl is the main character which she is going on a journey through the woods to her very ill grandmother to take her a cake and a pot of butter. While going through the woods, she runs into a wolf.
I believe that the setting of this short story really helps to bring out the little girls surroundings throughtout the story. With the author speaking of a certain little village and then also speaking of Little Red Riding Hood adventures in the forest with picking flowers, chasing butterflies as wellas gathering nuts for her grandmother. The second literary element I chose from this story is the characters. I loved how it was placed around a family, grandmother, mother and daughter, as well as the wolf whom plays the villon. I remember this story as a young child being told to me by my mother as a way not to get into trouble if I was given a task or chore to do while my parents were gone.
Both have ideas on dreams but contrast because of the diversity in their ethnic backgrounds. Hughes grasps the reality of dreams in his poem entitled “Dreams”. Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.? Nadidu grasps more of the fantasy of dreaming in her poem entitled “Song of A Dream” Once in the dream of a night I stood Lone in the light of a magical wood, Soul-deep in visions that poppy-like sprang; And spirits of Truth were the stars that glowed, And spirits of Peace were the streams that flowed In that magical wood in the land of sleep.
What does that show children today that when they meet a handsome guy marry them? Another is the Queen, jealous of Snow’s beauty, and wants Snow White dead so she can be the fairest of the land. This shows children that beauty is a competition, but what really matters what is in the inside not just appearances. Lastly, Prince Charming first meets Snow White in her sleep and awakes her with a true loves kiss and they both live happily ever after which barely happens in the real world today! Another fascinating thing about Snow White was the theme.
Bronte applies figurative language of irony, alliteration, personification, metaphoric and simile comparison, , and symbolism in order to describe the agony Jane feels. The essence of Jane's soul comes forth as Bronte puts Jane's lifeblood and heavy meaning into her responses. At the point after Jane's discover, the young governess feels as cold as ice and is reflected upon her thoughts. " A Christmas frost had come at midsummer; a white December storm had whirled over June; ice glazed the ripe apples, drifts crushed the ripe apples; on hay-field and corn-field lay a frozen shroud." The irony of a "bone-chilling winter" arriving in the middle of summer is in itself a cry for absurdity.
It is no news, yet still interesting to consider, that myths and fairy tales are complex reflectors of the conscious and unconscious concerns of their readers. A case in point is the story of Snow White. In the familiar version collated and edited by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm, a young girl flees from the murderous intentions of her wicked stepmother, finds shelter with the seven dwarfs, undergoes three trials or temptations, succumbs to the poison apple, and is rescued from her death-sleep by a charming prince. A close readings and interpretation – psychoanalytic – suggest that the structure of Snow White completely conform to Freud’s personality development phase. Part one: Personal growth stage of Snow white “Once upon a time in midwinter, when the snowflakes were falling like feathers from the sky, a queen was sitting and sewing at a window, with a black ebony frame.
(Hawthorne 237)” Mistress Hibbins is a lonely, widower that misses her husband and wants to be with him. For that reason she doesn’t try to appeal the charges laid against her for being a witch. She allows them to speculate about her and even plays it up a bit by referring to the Blackman. Like when she invites Hester to come and perform a ceremony with her, “Wilt thou go with us tonight? There will be a merry company in the forest; and I well-nigh promised the Black Man that comely Hester Prynne should make one (Hawthorne Rubio 2 113).” She plays up this label usually applied to her so she can end her life soon and thus be with her Lord and beloved husband.
In “My November Guest”, poet Robert Frost uses personification to explore the emotions of the speaker. “My Sorrow”, as the poet calls the subject, is described as a woman who, at times, visits the speaker and shapes his view of the changing seasons from summer to autumn and then to winter. The “guest” sees beauty in those changes that the speaker finds emotionally draining. She finds pleasure in the attributes of winter. She loves the bare trees, the “dark days” (line 2), and the neutral colors of grey and silver that the changing of season brings.
Commentary My text is written using the crime fiction story ‘Snowdrops’ by A.D Miller as my inspiration. My story is about a middle aged man who comes to know a young woman who is a superstitious yet intriguing character. Throughout my story, a close relationship occurs between the two, however there is a reason behind this which he eventually discovers. My story is written in the first person similar to that of ’ Snow Drops.’ using this allows the reader to be fully aware of what is going on all the time throughout the novel. To add to this it also adds to the amount of explanation that the reader is given about each incident.
My grandmother decided that a good way to teach her students about snow and the weather would be to bring them outside to actually experience snow for themselves. So she put garbage bags on their feet, took them outside, and collected snow. In the story Gryphon, by Charles Baxter, Tommy, the main character, tells a story about his teacher, Miss Ferenczi and how her teaching changes the way he and his friends view the world around them. Unlike Mr. Hibler and Mrs. Mantei's class, Miss Ferenczi teaches them that it is okay to make mistakes, she comforts and relates to them, and makes them interested in learning outside the classroom setting. In the beginning of the story, Tommy and his friends are sitting in Mr. Hibler's class.
