everything back together. One of the aspects was in the way she uses fairy tales. In this book, every so often the author starts out the chapter with a fairy tale, in the beginning; it is harder for the reader to understand why that the fairy tales are in the story in the first place, subsequently the reader catches on that the fairy tale is like a short summary of the next couple of chapters. This creative way to relate fairy tale morals to real-life moments in the story easier made it facile…

The genres can be complex to simple. They also can seem to be equate, especially if it is in the same genre. The genre of fairy tales or folk tales is an entire genre of made-up stories for children usually ending with a theme or a life lesson.

Inspired by the classic folktale of Little Red Riding Hood and its variations in Maria Tartar’s “The Classic Fairytales,” my group decided we wanted to revamp this classic story into a modernized setting with a twist. This story became known as “Little Red Riding Hood Rampage.” We wanted to work with all the given elements in the folktale and retell the story with reworked characters, voice, sequence, plot, conflict, and resolution.

Through school so far, we hadn’t done a significant amount of independent reading, but fourth grade was a fresh year with brand new expectations. I sauntered into fourth grade without a worry in sight, hoping to continue my weekly reads of The Rainbow Fairies. However, fourth grade wasn’t how I imagined. When it came time to…

Seth Lerer, decided to take an untraditional route in order to solve the mystery of this magical and perplexing piece. Lerer argues that the poem makes a clear distinction between artistry and artifice, which is manifest in Orfeo’s kingdom and the fairy domain, respectively.
