Compare And Contrast Walton Vs Bemonster

127 Words1 Page

This is such a fun parody book. Rick Walton under the pen name of Ludworst Bemonster transform the classic story of Madeline in to a hilarious monster parody. "In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines" is the opening line to the classic Madeline story and Rick Walton manages to seamlessly transform this line into "In a creepy old castle all covered with spines, lived twelve ugly monsters in two crooked lines." Children of all ages will enjoy this parody book and i believe it would be a fantastic book to read at Halloween as well as to use for comparing and contrasting between two books. I highly recommend this "Caldecott Horror Book" to all ages!

He was strong at heart and in faith, which can equalize to Beowulf being physically strong. One major difference they had between them is that Ghandi did not fight people physically, and never encountered violence like Beowulf did. He used non-violent tactics to help and revamp the problems of others. In Ghandi’s words, “Non-violence is the first article of my faith.”

    The collection of short stories “Ashputtle or The Mother’s Ghost: three versions of one story” has been taken from the book American Ghosts and Old World Wonders written by the Canadian feminist writer Angela Carter in 1987. Carter, known for her use of irony when writing her feminist stories so as to criticise the patriarchal society, confessed some years ago her interest in rewriting fairytales “I don’t mind being called a spell-binder. Telling stories is a perfectly honourable thing to do ... I do find imagery of fairytales very seductive and capable of innumerable interpretations” (Haffenden, 1985: 82). By making this statement, the writer clarifies her interest in retelling old fairytales using their plot to create a new story.
