Recommended: The moral values of fairy tales

A long time ago, there was a girl named Snow White. As you may know, Snow White is “the fairest of them all.” Because of this, her evil stepmother has hired a witch to put Snow White to sleep forever. What her stepmother doesn’t know is that the witch is not going to put Snow White to sleep, instead she plans on banishing Snow White to the Neverending Woods, where Snow will live the rest of her life, never to escape.
All of that has yet to happen, right now, Snow is getting ready to go out and buy supplies from the market. On her way, she finds an old lady standing on the side of the road. The lady looked as sweet as the apples she was picking, but she also looked poor. Snow, being the generous person she is, decided to buy an apple from …show more content…

In this new world, Snow looked around but all she could see were trees. Of course there were hills too, and all other landforms that occurred in a forest, but the forest never ended. This startled Snow, but she was determined to keep her spirits high. This must be some kind of trick, she thought, there must be some way to get out of here. Snow spent a long time thinking about her options of escape, but then she started to realise that it was getting darker. Snow knew that in the forest, nighttime is when the harmful animals come out. Fearing the wolves and foxes, Snows new objective was to create a shelter, and then a fire if she had …show more content…

Maybe there was someone there with her who also needed shelter. So, Snow went looking for this person, but as far as she could tell, her shelter had just vanished. Because she had already used up all the sticks at her height, she went to grab her ax tool, her leaves, and her extra clothes (she came with them because she was going to the market), but she couldn’t find her ax either. So grabbing what she could, she thought while she walked. “Maybe,” said snow, thinking out loud, “There is some kind of animal that is stealing the things that I make.” But when she thought about animals, she realised how much she needed to

    I prepared myself for the upcoming adventurous day. I set out along a less-traveled path through the woods leading to the shore. I could hear every rustle of the newly fallen leaves covering the ground. The brown ground signaled the changing of seasons and nature's way of preparing for the long winter ahead. Soon these leaves would be covered with a thick layer of snow. The leaves still clinging to the trees above displayed a brilliant array of color, simultaneously showing the differences of each and the beauty of the entire forest.

  • Naturalism in Jack London's To Build a Fire

    1273 Words  | 3 Pages

    When the narrator introduced the main character of the story, the man, he made it clear that the man was in a perilous situation involving the elements. The man was faced with weather that was 75 degrees below zero and he was not physically or mentally prepared for survival. London wrote that the cold "did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold."(p.1745) At first when the man started his journey to the camp, he felt certain that he could make it back to camp before dinner. As the trip progressed, the man made mistake after mistake that sealed his fate. The man's first mistake was to step into a pool of water and soak his legs to the knees. This blunder forced the man to build a fire to dry his wet socks and shoes so his feet would not freeze and become frostbitten. When the man began to build a fire he failed to notice that he was doing so under a large, snow laden spruce tree where he was getting his firewood. When the man had a small fire that was beginning to smolder the disturbance to the tree caused the snow to tumble to the ground and extinguish the fire. "It was his own fault or, rather, his mistake. He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built it in the open."(1750).

The storm hit, rain falling, wind blowing harder than ever, trees rumbling and falling over. All the animals in the forest ran into their hiding places, except for the Bear. He ran and ran through the rain and over the fallen trees, until he finally found his friend, the raccoon. He was hiding in a hollowed out log, barely sheltered from the rain.

    The rumble of distant cars could still be heard from the forest. It has already been days since Viktor had chased the rabbit across the highway. It was a hunt that went terribly wrong. The scent of a plump, juicy rabbit was detected during a midnight hunt and stalked for some time. Viktor hesitated in pouncing on the prey and this delay turned out to be a fatal mistake. Once given this opportunity, the rabbit had finally caught scent of the wolf from a shift in the wind. The chase started prematurely and an easy catch suddenly turned into a long, arduous run. Viktor had tailed the rabbit for quite some time, but he was determined to regain control of the hunt. He got closer and closer to his midnight snack, when the view of trees suddenly disappeared and replaced with a large span of gravel and concrete. They had somehow managed to arrive at the Great Thunderpath, named after the distinctive sound that cars made when driving past compared to the sound of thunder. This was the boundary between the two wooded areas. Not many wolves were known to have crossed it due to the controversy that shrouds this highway in mystery. Many wolves have died near this road when human construction began and started to pave out a path. Habitats were destroyed and as a result a significant amount of sources of food disappeared along with it. This was part of the reason food was so scarce this winter. However, it was crucial for Viktor that he catch this rabbit and not for all this effort to go to waste. This year’s winter has been especially cruel, the brutality was unmistaken. It arrived several moons early and taken many unprepared souls as a result. The sudden arrival may have been caused by old tensions between the long gone huma...

  • Analysis Of Neil Gaiman's 'Snow, Glass, Apples'

    1694 Words  | 4 Pages

    Neil Gaiman’s “Snow, Glass, Apples” is far from the modern day fairy tale. It is a dark and twisted version of the classic tale, Snow White. His retelling is intriguing and unexpected, coming from the point of view of the stepmother rather than Snow White. By doing this, Gaiman changes the entire meaning of the story by switching perspectives and motivations of the characters. This sinister tale has more purpose than to frighten its readers, but to convey a deeper, hidden message. His message in “Snow, Glass, Apples” is that villains may not always be villains, but rather victims.
