three things at night. Well, actually not everyone. Two different types of people don’t. Their names are Hansel and Gretel. You might be asking if they are brother and sister, and the answer to that is yes. They live in the Queens, New York. Queens is a place where everyone sleeps during night, and works during the day.

A chase ensued and the heroic hare narrowly escaped death by using a bag of “Magic Powder” as…

During an individual’s childhood, everyone must have heard of numerous fairy tales such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan and etc. A number of fairy tales have a particular message to the audience, such as Hansel and Gretel taught children not wander around, yet we listened to the stories we were told and never questioned them. As we got older and read the stories again, we can perceive that certain fairy tales can illustrate negative messages. One of the pessimistic influences of…

Christian Science Monitor, “The brothers published seventeen different editions between 1812 and 1864- plenty of time to ‘correct’ these tales.” The main changes that occurred in this cleansing period were the switches of maternity figures in “Hansel and Gretel” and in “Snow White”, not to mention all sexual references were removed as seen in the comparison between the 1812 version and the 1857 version of…

However, many of these children never fully grasp the concepts and the lessons that these fairy tales are trying to teach.
