Most people have heard a story book with the lines “once upon of time” at the beginning when we were younger ether from parents or a school and most girls and some guys watched a disney movie with a princess and a prince defeating the villain and living happily ever after. In reality though the books and movies that people know ,love, and still watched today are actually from a darker story with gore, death, and people with darker personalities from the movies and books that are known by many and even though there has been a lots of changes from the original fairy tales there are still a lot of similarities to the books and movies that people know today.

One of the similarities are that the meanings behind them are very similar.each movie

In Snow White there was the evil queen who said the famous phrase “Magic mirror, on the wall – who is the fairest one of all” and who also wanted her daughter dead because of her looks sending a hunter to kill her and bring back a part of her back to prove it. With cinderella it was the stepsisters and stepmother and how they wouldn't let her go to the ball and finally a pirate with a hook for a hand and who is afraid of the crocodile that took his hand and all he wants to do is to get peter pan. Of course some of the things they do or the story line around them are darker than in the kid versions but they are the same villains and the same plot to …show more content…
In peter pan there is actually two people who are different from the kids tales that is tinkerbell and peter. Tinker bell did a lot of things to get a rid of wendy like try to kill her by getting her shot by a neverland boy by telling him that she was a bird that peter wanted dead and in the end he went to peter pan asking him to kill him. Peter would probably kill him later anyways too because in the original whenever a kid grew up he would kill them because unlike him they had to grow up because they couldn't be kids forever. In beauty and the beast unlike the movie and she was a only child she had sisters that was jealous of her new life with the beast so they tried to make her stay home instead of returning just so that the beast may eat her. Even villains were meaner in the originals then in the kid versions like in snow white instead of the just the head for proof she was dead the evil queen asked for the liver and spleen so she can eat them. So the personalities and the people in the originals are way darker than in the children's

    For decades, popular novels have been published and years later followed with a film. Although the movie tends to portray imagery, the course of events in the book tend to contrast to those of the film. This became abundantly clear when I read the book and watched the movie, The Natural. In both the novel and the film, we learn about the life of a baseball player named Roy Hobbs, who was born with a talent and was given the ability to pursue his goal of life. Although his mindset was determined to break all the records in the game, many obstacles stood in his path ultimately skewing his priorities and driving him towards a path only ending with failure.…

    Mariela Perez Professor Krasner ENG 1500 19 September 2016 Authoritative Pressure in Children’s Lives After reading and reflecting on Cisneros story and Hughes poem, one comes to the acknowledgment that both stories display the issue of emotional pressure and exercised adult derogatory authority .Even though both children have different rearing and upbringing the situation seems to be the same for both as they navigate life in obedience and reverence for adult people in their lives. Consequently, we see this becoming part of the norm in our society where many children are left without choices and are mandated to obey and simply follow instructions. Taking a closer look to the children presented in both stories as main characters, both clearly…

    Paper Towns: Book vs Movie I’ve chosen to write about the differences between the book Paper Towns and the movie, basically what they didn’t include and what they changed in the film adaption. Personally I would say that I prefer the book before the movie, because the book is obviously more detailed and you get to read about the character's backstory and get to know them better. The author, who co-produced the film, made a video on youtube where he talked about the fact that the movie will be like the book but at the same time it will not.…

    I felt that Sexton’s “Cinderella” was a direct counterpoint to Disney’s version of Cinderella because the contrast between the two is so stark. However, after doing a little research I found out that Sexton published a book of poems based on the Grimm Brothers fairy tale called Transformations. So Sexton was not calling out Disney specifically, still, the plot is similar and they can be compared and contrasted. Most are familiar with the Disney version, I perhaps more than most having two small girls at home and a trip to Disney World under our belt. The plot of both tales are similar, girl mistreated, mystical powers intervene, girl end up with the prince, Where Sexton deviates is the idea of what is real happiness and where does it come…

    Similarly, these tales share similar fragments of plot where the character Shrek, in both Steig’s “Shrek!” and Anderson’s Shrek, journey to get a princess, encounter a donkey, slay a dragon in pursuing a princess, and marry the princess. In both “Sleeping Beauty in the Wood” and Shrek the rescuer saves the princess and marries her and each story includes a villainous character that tries to hurt the princess for his/her own gain, as Lord Farquaad desired to become king by marrying Fiona and the ogress desired the princess to become her meal (Anderson et. al., Perrault).…

    Both the book Slumdog Millionaire (originally called Q&A) written by Vikas Swarup and the film adaptation of the same name directed by Danny Boyle received mostly positive reviews and critique, which cemented both of these works deep into the area they were apart of. The movie proved that you could make a successful movie using a traditional Bollywood recipe, and the book showed us how devastating and soul-crushing life in an Indian slum could be. The book also garnered an array of good feedback based on how it handled the different areas in India, and how the system was unfair in many of the different places. The book and the film adaptation have the same underlying pillars, but they differ a lot when it comes to plot and characters, and it is fairly unreasonable to say that the movie stays true to the source material of the book.…
