This is one of the differences that I have found in the two stories “Ashputtle and “Cupid and Psyche.” Both of the stories “Ashputtle” and “Cupid and Psyche” have multiple similarities and differences. They tell the same story, but in two different ways. One is the most beautiful woman with all the riches and the other is a dirty and dusty worker.

This parallels to when Odysseys and his crew hide under the sheep and defeats the mighty Polyphemus. Everett is a cunning, quick-tongued, sharp leader, which is the same as Odysseus. Also, Pete and Delmar appear to be as dumb as the crew written in the Odyssey.

Trickster Tales “Fool, I am taking you to pay for the sky-god’s stories.” Anansi the spider said this quote in the trickster tale “How Stories Came to Earth”. Trickster Tales are stories about a trickster who tries to outwit people, gods, or animals into getting something they want.

Besides, he uses the trickster to save himself, and he uses the trickster to help other people from the bad ones.

On the other hand, an example of good tricksters is Huck because he always employed the trickster strategies not to harm people.

The commonality that these two stories is the use of characterization

Where the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendak is an interesting children’s picture book. The main character is a little boy named Max, who has a wild imagination. He uses all five senses as well as thought and his actions to express his personality as well as how he reacts and interacts with his surroundings. Max’s id, ego and super-ego are greatly shown in this book through the way that the author has portrayed him. Not only is this book a children’s story, but it can also be perceived as a life lesson. Many people go through times in their lives when they make drastic decisions right away, such as leaving home. One may enjoy it for the rest of their lives or only for a little while, just like Max who felt lonely after having fun with the monsters. In this case, people end up going home to be with their family where they are not lonely, and can have more time before making a final decision of what should happen next in their life. Id, ego and super- ego is greatly portrayed in this
