I am not the type of girl that gets startled easily but, you can’t help but to get chills when you watch the film Candy Man and read the novel The Forbidden. Both perspectives of this scary yet insightful figure is enough to keep you on your toes while following each story. The Candy Man and The Forbidden keeps you intrigued with its turns and twist to the story. I found it hard to follow the story line but, this worked to the writers benefit. The twist and turns forced me to pay attention to things I would have missed if everything was clear. One aspect of both stories that was clear was, the difference between the image of the Candy Man in the Candy Man and The Forbidden.
Innocence and Experience In the Neo-classical novel Candide the theme of innocence and experience is prevalent through the protagonist, Candide, journey of finding the prescription of how to live a useful life in the face of a harsh reality. In addition to William Blake’s collection of Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, the two characters, Tyger and Lamb, show how we lose our innocence to gain experience. Although the innocence and experience are paradoxical terms, we can solve the paradox by analyzing these two works. First in the novel Candide, the neoclassical age defined innocence as ignorance and experience as knowledge.

Money, money, money, and the love of money is the root of all evil. Money, has led the characters of Treasure Island to kill, lie, cheat, and put themselves in great peril to acquire it. The Squire Trelawney, the good Doctor, and Jim really have no cause to go in the search of the fortune that they did not earn or place where it rest. Wealth, whether found, earned, or inherited does not automatically speak well of the owner. The test of one’s character should be more than economical success.
Stranded on the island, with the vast ocean separating them from civilization, the boys are free of restrictions from their old life. Although at first, some characters recall the protocols they were taught previously, manners are gradually forgotten. Numerous times, Piggy remembers his aunt, and says, “My auntie told me not to run,” as if even from miles away, Piggy had to abide by her commands regardless (Golding 9). However later, he acknowledges his freedom from authority, pausing mid-sentence at “My auntie—” (12). Piggy then stripped off his windbreaker, a significant act of defiance of authority in his perspective. Golding also portrays the lack of constraints on the boys by referring to the island with negative connotations. Despite its external beauty, he calls the island a ‘scar’ to represent the patch created when the plane tore through the forest. This
By using symbolism to develop the story, Golding shows his readers that the island is a place of evil and changes the boys from civil to savage. The end of Golding’s story shows the order and organization on the island dying along with Piggy and Simon, causing chaos and destruction to Ralph and the others. Even after many years, Golding’s book still holds the same message, the human nature is the same in everyone and chaos and destruction can be caused by this human nature even in the most peaceful
Fairy tales and fictional stories are full of mystical and exciting adventures, but most of these children stories have important lessons tied into them.The stories of "The Golden Fish" and "The Greedy Dog" both share similar themes about greed but are not exactly alike. Both the characters and the plot have similarities and differences, making them their own lesson learning stories about greed.

The ship was being tossed by angry waves. The whole crew and captain had deserted their ship only to perish to the sea. The only ones remaining on board was the Robinson family. When the storm was over, they discussed about how to get to shore. After much thinking, they built a sort of raft big enough for the family of six, taking with them things that could be of use. Once on shore, they began to search for food and made up somewhere to sleep. The next day, Father and the eldest son, Fritz, went into the forest to explore the island further. They found food like sugar cane, potatoes, and figs. Father, Fritz and two other sons, Ernest and Jack, built a sort of tree house for the family to sleep. Father and Fritz went back to the wreck for supplies and took with them all the animals they had left on board. The two dogs, which they named Juno and Turk, would be guard dogs, the cow would be good for milk, the sheep for wool, the donkey for travel and the chickens for eggs. The family soon learned that there were other animals on land for they had to hunt for food. There were penguins, lobsters, oysters, agouti, monkeys, and jackals. Fritz took a baby monkey and named him Knips and Jack took a young jackal, who he named Fangs. Mother planted roots for lemon, apple, and pear trees.
