How Did Audra Change In The Castle

Improved Essays
Weeks passed and the leaves on the trees changed from a vibrant green to a crisp and fiery orange. Carlton traveled on-and-off while Audra learned the ways of the castle. She spent time in the kitchens with Petra and the other maids, and appreciated their hard work all the more. The women seemed much happier and relaxed with their new, reduced schedules, and Audra thought the food tasted better than ever.
Audra also continued with her training. Rather than wait for Carlton to provide her with new armor, she and Maxen rummaged through the old storage house on the castle grounds and pieced together leather armor that was comfortable and fit. It made a huge difference; it allowed Audra to focus on fighting as opposed to constantly adjusting ill-fitting

    Throughout the course of human history and during many different societies, women have been treated as subordinates to men. A recurring theme between civilizations is that men are the superior sex, and a woman’s main role in society was to bare offspring.

    Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm was popularly known as the “Grimms Brothers”, were characterized as one of the most dramatic writers in the 19th century. They were categorized by their short, simple sentences, colloquial language, and their well-organized approach to craft writings.

My impression about this narrative was an innocent little girl who had her step-mother hating her because of her beauty and kind-heart. The Little Snow-White by the Grimms Brothers is a fairy tale that reveals the goodness and the beauty of a little princess who is loved by all, however,…

The setting provides the reader that mood to better understand how Elisa is feeling.…
