Are myths, folktales, or fairy tales still relevant to our society? Myths, Folktales, and Fairytales have all been teaching our society different lessons for a very long time. Many of these stories are parodies because they have been around for such a long time. For example, these stories can be dramatized, but still, have a lesson and these stories can even be turned into a poem.

When I said: “A unicorn's tears create a wish-granting lake”, her eyes widened in wonderment and I knew I had stumbled upon a great theme for middle grade audiences.

In The Enchanted Garden Calvino used his imagination when writing the mood, making it what he wanted the readers to look into where he imagined going when his life was inconsistent. Tying these two things together Italo made a wonderful short story. Italo calvino
Every great mythical tale consists of a Hero’s Journey as the backbone of the story. Yet the hero of Ella Enchanted strays far from the norm of most heros. An archetypal protagonist faces an ultimate antagonist or villain, yet Ella from Ella Enchanted battles a conflict within herself. Ella Afrell, born in the quiet town of Frell, qualifies as a normal baby until a fairy godmother comes along. Lucinda the fairy blesses the new born with a curse, despite her naming it a gift.

Beagle by Charles Darwin and the shrewd tone in Herman Melville’s The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles contrast in that one is disappointed while the other is straightforward. Both writers convey a scientific examination of the islands they are exploring, but while Darwin seems curious and unhappy about what he found on the Chatham Island, Melville remains unchanged and more serious about his research in the Enchanted Isles. The two men set forth a shared interest in scientific research and new ideas

The world has yet to know “its” true secrets and dive deeper under the mask of perception. Though we may feel like nature is throwing karma at us at times, we continue to honor nature for its patience. In the poems, “Ode to Enchanted Light” by Pablo Neruda and “Sleeping in the Forest” by Mary Oliver, both of the literary works share an appreciation for nature. Though this is true for both, they express their love and feelings differently. Pablo Neruda’s poem praises light as enchanting, whereas
