Hansel and Gretel

The original fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” by the Brothers Grimm and “The Girl, The Wolf, The Crone,” by Kellie Wells have many similarities and differences throughout the stories. However, Kellie Wells takes a different approach to the story; she takes the story and uses symbols to let the reader know what she feels about the Catholic religion. The original story is not based on religion. It is simply telling a story about a girl who visits her grandmother, who was eaten by a wolf, but…

They were kicked out because Hanzel said potatoes like po-tot-e-oes, and Gretel because she made chocolate foods out of something that looked like chocolate, but was not chocolate.. Regardless, they never gave up, and one day they found a cabin, made out of vegetables that had a sign that says “Come on in!” “Trap” Hanzel mumbled “Ew” gretel said with a slight tone of disgust Just as they were…

A forest path stretched out before Hansel and Gretel as they trudged through the thick brush. The drooping, moss-covered trees loomed above them blocking any light that tried to push through. The forest was dead silent except the crunching of their small feet on the fallen leaves. Hansel’s heart longed to see their father again, and tell him what a manipulative being their mother was.

Each of the movies are definately adapted for a specific audience. Due to the use of background effects and adaptations in certain scenes it defines scary moments for the viewer timed at just the right moment. In both versions they are similar by using live actors and have background music. Other similar ways are how the movies use props in a…

Many questions popped into my head as I finished reading that line and I had to go online to find the answers, dealing if having sex with an animal is illegal. I need a stronger word to describe how I felt about the information I uncovered about Beastiality/Zoophilia because disturbed doesn’t cut it. After reading the information, I sat there with my jaw…

view it more realistically.
