Ashenputtel is an original German folk tale. The German folk tale was written in 1857 by the original Grimm brothers. The Grimm brothers have written over 200 tales and many are famous around the world, including: Aschenputtel, Die Gansemagd, Hansel und Gretel, Rumpelstilzchen, Dornroschen, Schneewittchen and many more. The Grimm brothers not only wrote German folk tales they also wrote well-known mythologies. Additionally, the stories were originally not even or children, although they become more edited over the years to appeal to more age groups. Lastly, the renowned brothers faced hard times too, they faced deportation and bankruptcy throughout it all.

Aschenputtel even connects with nature. Through all of these hard times Aschenputtel somehow can speak to and with nature and get them to help her when times are hard. Nature (example:birds) quickly help her pick up the lentils, drop her a gold shiny dress when she asked, and even climbed onto her shoulders at the end of the story as they all rode off in happiness. These pigeons, were almost here little guardian angels, always by her side. Aschenputtel, I think surprises all of the readers in this tale. Aschenputtel starts off by being a very broken, quiet, sensitive girl. She is very obedient and doesn’t dare say no to anyone. As the story goes on, she becomes more and more brave. She turns to her animal friends for help. Even after her evil step-mother denies her permission to attend the ball Aschenputtel still goes. Although, she goes unnoticed and hurries back home to seem as if she were there all along. Additionally, I never thought she was going to go for the prince, every night she quickly runs away before the moment is right. The prince finally comes to her and at that moment I think Aschenputtel is able to break out of the shell she was encased in and choices to live her life …show more content…
She is constantly put down by others, including her own father. Who in the end says “but she can’t possibly be the bride”, when let alone she is.
The tale of Aschenputtel did not tell me much about German culture, although it was very nice to read such an old piece of German literature. I love the creativity and the imagination put into this tale. The Grimm brothers have so many traditional tales and all of them are filled with such powerful messages.
Unforutunatley, it is hard for me to compare this fictional tale to my own culture. Although, I found it nice that both in German and in English such great tales can be made. The powerful message of being your own person and doing risky things to get what you want showed how strong German culture can be.
Also, it was quite nice to read this piece of German literature. Although, it may be a silly tale it was nice to see how all the sentences came together. This tale helped me understand how stories should be laid
