Most people have read or heard of the stories of Cinderella or saw a movie of the traditional princess story which always seems to have the same cliché “happily ever after ending.” In the poem “Cinderella,” written by Anne Sexton, she switches up the old-fashioned mythical story by adding in a touch of mockery and telling the story with her sense of reality. Sexton’s sarcastic tone being used in the poem causes the readers to identify and get a sense of the message the version of her story gives…

craft writings. Their writing was entitled Little Snow White, it was released in 1937 and it was about Snow White, a princess who falls into a deep, death-like rest after taking a bite from a poisoned apple. 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,…

his wife that wishes to have a child soon, Cinderella, Jake in the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel. They all wish for something but what they don’t understand is that some wishes might not really be what they want in the long run. With this production everyone wishes for something; for example, the baker and his wife wants a child, Cinderella wants to go to the festival, Rapunzel wants a prince, Little Red Riding Hood wants to go to granny’s, and Jack doesn’t want to sell his…

Dr. Ross Rosenberg succinctly compares them to wolves in sheep clothing in his book, "The Human Magnet Syndrome." Savannah Grey paints them as ominous soul suckers in her article,“What walks among us.” The lucky otters heaven blog, who nailed on point by calling them "Body Snatchers". They seem like normal functioning human beings at first. What goes wrong? What makes them so convincingly charming if they’re so vile?
