Characters: My first folktale is “Fearing The Wind.” It has multiple characters, which includes: Buddha, elephant, local people, king, elephant trainers. The main character is the elephant. Buddha is the hero I know because he helps the elephant overcome her fear. The king is the villain, with elephant trainers as his sidekicks. I know that the king is the villain because the folktale states, “The king wanted to be sure that the elephant would obey his every command, so when the elephant didn’t do what the trainers told her to do – and often she couldn’t understand what they were asking – they jabbed her with their training sticks. Soon red, blue, and purple bruises broke out all over her beautiful white skin, and she was constantly terrified.”

Though the story never gave a specific date, I inferred that during the story it was daytime, which I noted from the following claim, “They would spread a blanket to sit upon, lean against a tree and eat their mid-day meal.” The text clearly stated that the weather was sunny and fair. The social conditions strived a bit in this folktale. Casual wear and mannerism was definitely from the early years when the peasants dressed like peasants, and the kings dressed like kings. The lower class people such as peasants and servants, listened to higher class people like a king or queen. For the finale of the setting I’ll describe to you how the mood was. The mood is usually based on the beginning of the story, and at the beginning of “The Harper in Fairyland,” the mood was lovely, since the story was describing the daily ritual the king and queen did, which they dearly enjoyed.
Anyway, let’s start with the introduction of the story. In the introduction, the daily routine of the main character and his characteristics were brought to life. The rising action is when the queen is kidnapped by the Fairy Folk. Then the King sets out to rescue his Queen, and when he spots the Fairy Folk that is the climax. When the Queen is freed, you would
