Operation Snow White

I believe that the poem tells a Muggle fantasy tale rather than showing that Muggles had any knowledge of a magical creature. Yes, Erl means elf and Erklings are related to House Elves and both Erklings and the Erlking in Goethe's poem attack children, but the similarities end there. The names of the two creatures are spelled differently. The creatures in the lesson are Erklings, whereas the creature in the poem was THE Erlking. One word can be transformed into the other by transposing two…

Once upon a time in a land far, far away lived a kind king and an evil step queen. They had a son called Charming. She espoused the king for his wealth and potency. The soft-hearted king did not know about the malignant things she did behind his back. The kingdom was in great despair. The people of the kingdom eagerly waited for the day the step queen would die. She was a haughty and arrogant woman. “ Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” the Queen thundered in her…

Disney films are portraying their characters beautiful to set impossible standards of beauty. Snow White and the seven dwarfs by Walt Disney promotes impossible standards as well as other films. Issues with with Disney films promoting impossible standards of beauty are that when kids see these beautiful princesses and princes they want to be just as beautiful like them. The other side of this argument would be that Disney movies do not promote impossible standards of beauty. There are three…

Have you ever met someone that makes decisions that are comparable to yours, but in other ways they are far away from the personality that you have? Well, the books Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears are just the case. The characters share comparable decisions and thought processes, but their demeanor is completely different. An example of something similar is that the characters were both in a forest. An example of something that is different is why they were in a forest. RRH…

The film director, Tim Burton, uses several different techniques throughout his films to show his unique sense of style and ideas to compliment his interesting and crazy personality. The stylistic techniques that Burton uses are the music, shots, and lighting to achieve the effects of mood, tone, and a sense of fantasy. First of all, Burton’s use of music, mainly diegetic, in his films help the audience to be engaged and understand the emotions within the characters. For example, in his film…

One occurence of Yamauba's motherhood appears in legends of yamauba being the mother of Kintaro.

Eventually Raiko and the shitenno eradicated…

In her book The Bloody Chamber, Angela Carter’s intended to extract the latent content from the traditional stories, fairy tales, but to not make her own version. She saw fairy tales in a new way. Not the same way as beginning with once upon a time, a princess needs help, prince save the day and they all lived happier ever after. No, Carter draws out the theme of feminism by contrasting traditional elements of Gothic fiction, which usually illustrate female characters as powerless and vulnerable…
