On Fairy-Stories

In Tolkien’s lecture “On Fairy-Stories,” he wants the readers to understand that the nature of the Universe is creative. The Universe can create many things whether they are alive or if they are not real. In the Universe anything is possible and it can come to live if the human allows it to. In the lecture it explains why the universe is creative by saying that it has “beauty that is an enchantment, and an ever present peril; both joy and sorrow as sharp as words.” The Universe is so creative that

Cinderella and Snow White they were powerful and kind. In reality,  I realized those stories were fictional stories called fairy tales. Fairy Tales are stories that have been told throughout many generations. Fairy Tales can affect us the same way as a dream through the thought of a mystery and stories that stimulate our own thoughts. I have experienced many fairy tales throughout my childhood, such as the story of Santa Claus, Stephen King It”, and the Disney Channel movie “ The Cheetah Girls.”

A story about a princess trying to find her prince, but constantly being stopped by an antagonist or an “Evil force” is cliche. When given the assignment to write a fairytale, I thought why not write a story about a teacher that bit more than what he/she could chew. Although, it's not bad being an overachiever so that wouldn't be a good message to convey. I had numerous ideas that had cross upon my mind, but one that I had actually dreamt about became my story. So here is my dream alternated by me

When deciding what Disney fairy tale I wanted to cover I started looking into Disney, to my surprise there are many movies that had of course evil, spiritual images and rituals. Some movies had a great message about family and life not allowing evil to prevail. Most stories were about being brought into a traditional family that he or she didn’t want to be apart of in the beginning. Having to live up to a standard that you don’t want to be apart of but you were born for a reason and traditions need

Once upon a time there was a fairy named Sophie. Now, Sophie lived in an enchanted forest. Sophie also had no parents, no aunts, no uncles. . . no family. Sophie’s parents had gone on a mission to help the forest when she was just a little fairy. They never returned. She had been raised by the forest itself. But even though she had no family, she was as happy as happy could be. But then one day everything changed. …. Sophie heard that there was an evil queen that wanted

surrounding fairy stories in his aptly named essay, “On Fairy-Stories”. While Tolkien wholeheartedly admits that he is in no sense an expert on the matter of fairy stories, he does consider himself an observant traveler upon its surreptitious shores. The realm of fairy stories, according to Tolkien, are vast and unwilling to divulge their secrets cooperatively. As such, Tolkien seeks to dissect the inner workings of fairy stories by attempting to answer the questions: what is a fairy story, where is

“Happily Ever After,” the three words are so characteristic of a fairy tale. But do fairy tales need to have a happily ever after? The factual answer would be – No. Some of the original versions of the adapted screenplays didn’t have happy endings. In Charles Perrault’s version “Little Red Riding Hood1,” the wolf ate the grandmother and Little Red, thus leaving us with no happy ending. But fairy tales aren’t based on facts and logic. They are the creation of our imagination and (some) a result of

Once upon a time, well you should know how it goes like every other normal fairy tale you’ve heard so yod yod, but this one’s different, as I was saying. There once was a girl named Izzy, she has brown hair, brown eyes and brown skin but yet such a beauty in her looks and in her heart,she went to the wishing well everyday to ask for a different life she hated her life, with her evil stepdad, and her two evil stepsisters, she hated them. But the day of her birthday was a special day for her she was

“Thank you,” she mumbled. Trying how to figure out how to her herself and Keenon up there. “Here M’ Lady,” Harkin offered her the only coin in his pocket. “You don’t have too.” “You have a long road ahead. Don’t make it harder,” he warned. Dominique took the coin and placed it in the purse that the finance minster had given her. Dominique started towards the horse. “Wait.” The guard took off his battered cloak and placed it on her shoulder. “You will attract robbers dressed like that

To begin, I’d like to acknowledge the fact that the story of Pocahontas is not actually a fairy tale, and is based on true events. However, I chose this Disney movie because it is exaggerated and has some make-believe characters that fit perfectly in correlation to the sacred. The story begins with a group of English settlers on a voyage to the New World. They are lead by Captain John Smith and Governor Ratcliffe, who is interested in looking for gold to obtain glory, wealth and status. Meanwhile
