Have you ever wondered what was different and similar between those silly and unrealistic fairy tales you were told as a kid? Red Riding Hood was an interesting one about a girl that mistakes a wolf for her granny and, and almost gets eaten. Everyone knows the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Basically, there was a girl that stumbled across a house in the woods and thinks, “It is totally not weird if I walk into someone’s home and use their things.” They catch her and she runs away. While both Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks seem to have a lot of differences, but there are some similarities between them. The decisions of Red Riding Hood, the decisions of Goldilocks, and the similarities of both are unique in their own way. First,
One similarity between the Hunger Games and Goonies is Katniss had to step up for her sister Prim because her name got called. In the Goonies Mikey found a map and had to step up and try to get everyone to believe him. A difference is that in the Hunger Games Katniss didn't think about it; she just took Prim's place and in the Goonies they thought about it a lot before they decided. A difference in the Hunger Games is Katniss had no one but herself and Peeta. In the Goonies Miky had Mouth, Chunk, Data, Brandon, Andy and Steff.

The main characters Lily in, Secret Life of bees, and Dorothy in, The Wizard of Oz, have very similar experiences and are alike in several ways, which can be seen when comparing both texts. These consist of similarities between character roles/dynamics in the two stories, journeying to new places far from home in search of information, and lessons learned by the main characters. There is a quite noticeable parallel between the character roles and the dynamics in the two stories. The two stories center themselves on a young, somewhat naive girl who is forced to travel to an unfamiliar place. Lily travels with Rosaleen, who is like her companion.
Having analysed the metaphors used in Gemma’s fairy tale to refer to the darkest aspects of the Holocaust, there is no doubt that the harshness of this testimony is greatly softened. This moderation, in addition to the fact that these stories are one of the most important strategies to transmit fundamental values from generation to generation (Mara 67), makes Yolen’s Briar Rose a good option for teaching about the Holocaust. Children’s literature makes a young child aware of basic human conflicts and helps him or her to deal with them. Yolen’s book tries to connect the audience to some values at the same time she teaches the history of this event. In order to do this, this work differentiates two stories connected or as Sarah Jordan suggests,
Dragons, witches, princesses, and knights. These are the imaginary friends in so many children's lives. For young adults, those fairy tale characters give way to darker characters and more realistic situations. However, what do they all have in common? They all live in stories.
"Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and the older "The Story of the Three Bears" are two variations of an old fairy tale. The original tale tells of an ugly, old woman who enters the forest home of three bachelor bears whilst they are away. She sits in their chairs, eats some of their porridge, and falls asleep in one of their beds. When the bears return and discover her, she starts up, jumps from the window, and is never seen again. The other major version brings Goldilocks to the tale (replacing the old woman), and an even later version retained Goldilocks, but has the three bachelor bears transformed into Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear.

Many families have many traditions, but one tradition that is common among all households is that they read fairy tales to their children right before they put them to sleep. They do this to fill their minds with good positive thoughts and leave them with something to think about. Religion dictates the characteristics of familiar fairy tales as religion provides a moral and ethical framework for having a good life, an ideal goal parents want their children to have. On the whole, fairy tales are constantly changed to adhere to cultural or social beliefs that are deemed important by diverse people in a community.

Throughout history, authors of fairy tales have used morals and themes to convey the meanings of their work. Though there are an infinite amount of themes and topics within these stories, one major theme that is consistent in several tales is the theme of control or empowerment. Examples of tales that accurately portray this theme are Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, and Bluebeard. In CInderella, a daughter is neglected by her father, tortured by her step-family, and oppressed by a prince. In the story of Hansel and Gretel, two children are abandoned by their starving parents and kidnapped by a cannibalistic witch, and must find a way out of their misery alone.
The two stories 'Little Red Riding Hood ' and 'Little Red Cap ' have many significant similarities and differences alike. The most notable similarity is the moral ending that characterizes both stories with each having a slight twist. The two tales stories are of a girl who loses her innocence as she moves through the segments of life; childhood through adulthood. While the same has many notable similarities in terms of theme and style, it is easy to point out the difference in the way women are treated in the two stories. In the French version of the tale, the little girl was eaten but not rescued while in German version talks of her rescue, which accentuates the cultural differences in the two stories (Grimm et al. 31).
Disney vs. Grimm Fairytales (Rough Draft) Fairytales have majorly altered throughout history in a variety of disturbing ways. Grimm’s fairytales were known as gruesome parables that spoke of harsh realities and were told to people of all ages. Disney is identified by their hopeful and imaginary stories aimed at the audience of children. The reasoning behind this stark contrast of fairy tales is for numerous diverse explanations.
Growing up, I always thought of a fairytale as something sacred and something gentle. The girl begins the story with the tragedy of her life, for example, the stepmother uses her as a slave or the parents abandoned her and her brother in the woods. Then the story proceeds to talk about how much she wishes she could have another life, the most deserving girl finally catching a break. Something spectacular happens and she then lives happily ever after. That is what a fairytale mean to me and what they all resemble to me.
Examples of myths include ‘Ancient Rome’ and ‘The myth of King Midas and his golden touch’. The Fairy Tale genre consists of old-style, fictional stories that are written for children and normally involve a variety of make-believe characters and creatures (e.g. fairies, elves, talking animals, giants or witches) and often a bit of magic as well. They usually describe a fanciful story line which often happened long, long ago. An example of a fairy Tale is ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
