MAGICAL GARDEN FAIRYS Once upon a time… there was a beautiful princess named, Fauna. Fauna had pretty red wavy hair, always with a different flower in it every day depending on her mood. She had gorgeous green eyes that sparkled in the sun.. Her mother was pure beauty. She had long, red, wavy hair; but instead of putting a flower in her hair, she put gold shavings in it. She was alwase kind to everyone in the lands, but sadly her mother died of poision when Fauna was only two. No one ever found out who poisioned her. So in the meantime, her Aunt Sarah took care of her. Aunt Sarah was evil she only agreed to take care of Fauna because that meant she got to rule the palace, at least until Fauna was old enough to rule herself. Fauna was fifteen at the time and didn’t know anything about how to rule a Palace of her own. But on the day of her sixteenth birthday she would finally wear the beautiful crown. The crown was gold with emeralds trickling down the sides. It was June and her birthday was in November. And heer aunt has been plotting an evil plan to keep Fauna from wearing the crown and ruling the palace herself. Fauna’s job in the Magical Palace was to take care of every little creature in the lands. It was a very hard job for just one person to do. But she had some help. From the garden fairies of course. There were hundreds of them, but Fauna had a special friendship with a particular fairy named Alaina. Alaina was very friendly and very, very nice. She was also very small. About the same size as one of your hands laid-out. She had long brown hair that always had rose petals in it. Fauna also had a unicorn named Gabriella; Gaby for short. Gaby was very strong, the strongest of all the unicorns in the palace. She was very ... ... middle of paper ... ...nt to the table. Ethan helped Fauna into her chair and sat in the chair next to her. Aunt Sarah sat across the table in front of Fauna. Ethan’s mother sat on one end of the table and his father sat on the other. We started eating and I was talking to Ethan’s mother about which dress I should wear to the royal ball next week. “Well I certaintly think blue is just not a color you would want to wear to the ball.” His mother had said. “Well I don’t want to wear pink, I wore pink to the last- “ “Oh Fauna stop babiling, pink isn’t going to kill you.” inturupted Ethan.after a few more minuets Fauna noticed that everyone was starring at her. Then it happened, Ethan got down on one knee and presented Fauna with a ring. “Fauna, darling will you marry me?” asked Ethan Fauna slapped the ring out of his hand and said marry you why should I marry you! Youre a nincompoop!!!!!!!
Zeena's empty rocking-chair stood facing him. Mattie rose obediently, and seated herself in it. As her young brown head detached itself against the patch-work cushion that habitually framed his wife's gaunt countenance, Ethan had a momentary shock. It was almost as if the other face, the face of the superseded woman, had obliterated that of the intruder.
Secondly, he starts to show emotion towards her before the subject of commitment is ever brought into the story. The junter says one night while drunk that he was "sorry for taking that deer, that every now and then there's an animal that isn't meant to be taken...." This was a sort of metaphor that shows he may have thought things were moving to fast and that he didn't mean to trap her, partly setting her up for the pain that was to come later. I believe that he was using this example to say that he was sorry for finding her because he knew it would hurt her when she found out he wasn't ready to move to commitment.
These girls have had a rough life. In 1910, their mother died and the four girls only have each other for all their weeps and worries. Also, their dad has been dead for years and ever since the death of their mother, life has just not been the same. They were left as orphans and took care of each other, since they were all they had. Then, something gave the Purcell girls a glimmer of hope. They had a guardian, who for the rest of their lives would take care of the girls. His name was Mr. Mackenzie and he was married to Mrs. Mackenzie and they had kids of their own. They have three sons; Gabriel, Geoffrey, and Antony. Also, they had one daughter; her name was Lucy. One child, though, would soon become very important in Julia’s life. His name was Master Geoffrey and he had been away at school ever since the Mackenzie’s started taking care of the Purcell girls, which was in January of 1910. At this time, he was the same age as Julia. They were both 15 years old. As soon as they first met, they wanted to get to know each other better. One of the first things Geoffrey noticed about Julia is that she was very much like her older sister, Frances; except, there was something special about her. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but there was something
In one, a specimen-creating brute robs a pelican child’s life and her guardian trying to bring her back to life. In the other, a prince learns the value of his frog-turned-princess and sets out on a quest to find her. Joy Williams’s Baba Iaga and the Pelican Child and Alexander Afanasev’s The Frog Princess are both critical facets of the fairy tale genre. While initially it may seem that Williams preserved no elements from Afanasev’s tale, upon a closer glance, it is evident that the two tales’ similarities outnumber their differences. By incorporating a generous portion of the original story into his, Williams’s version brings forth an innovative arrangement of classic and new. As a result, William’s tale introduces features to the tale that mirror everyday life lessons while simultaneously maintaining qualities that are reflective of the definitional aspects of the fairy tale genre.
Suddenly the blissful world she was in a moment ago disintegrates. As she escapes with frantic haste Eliza espies a group of dying flowers rotting away in silence with the once dazzling petals wilting in desperation, overtaken by a russet plague. The trees she once admired so are taken over by hosts of mites who have infiltrated the internal organs of the giant. A bird lands on a windowsill with a squirming worm in its beak and proceeds to enact nature’s order by calmly devouring the thing while the worm desperately battles a losing campaign as the bird’s comrades virtuously chorus a lullaby, calling for it to sleep.
The only happiness that she appears to have is with this bird. The bird probably sang when she could not. He was probably a companion to her, she had no children. And like her, he was caged. Because we do not know, we can only guess that her husband killed her bird.
Once upon a time lived a girl named Rapunzel. She was a very curious and happy girl. She lived the kingdom of Macedomia. It was a huge place with lots of trees and flowers. Rapunzel loved to go in the forest but her mother would not let her because she would get lost. One day Rapunzel saw a very colorful butterfly and tried to catch her and unknowingly entered the forest.
There are several elements that make up a fairy tale. Some of these elements are specific details that so picky that a story’s interpretation can be reversed into a completely different meaning. One of the most famous elements within fairy tale literature is the rose. The rose has been a long time symbol of romance and love. However there are many types of different roses and some species are only native to certain areas. Then besides the fact of species and location, one must also take into account color symbolism as well, which also varies by culture.

Sylvia was a 9 year old “nature girl” who met a charming ornithologist hunter on a mission to find the allusive white heron. Sylvia was about 8 years old when she moved with her grandmother from the city to a farm, “a good change for a little maid who had tried to grow for eight years in a crowded manufacturing town, but, as for Sylvia herself, it seemed as if she never had been alive at all before she came to live at the farm.” (Jewett, 1884, 1914, qtd in McQuade, et.al., 1999, p. 1641). Sylvia finds the secret, the white heron. Instead of telling the young hunter, she keeps the secret, because in her mind nature is more powerful than her feelings for “the enemy.”

Sarah Orne Jewett lived a short life from 1849-1909 and is most remembered for the short story a “A White Heron.” She created heroes of every shape and size who help themselves and others, and as Shackford said, “All of her stories are loosely woven narratives.” One of her best narratives “A White Heron” tells the story of a nine year old girl Sylvia who saves a heron from certain death. Because Sylvia understood nature and the animals she lived with, she became a hero that no human would never know. In the short story “A White Heron,” Sarah Orne Jewett portrays the theme man and nature must share the earth, represented through symbolism and conflict.
“Suddenly the young hunter saw the woman, with her dress above her waist, her bare legs sprayed wide apart. He had never seen a woman like that before. He ran quickly to her side and stared down at her belly, quite frightened to touch. There, lying beneath the woman's legs, was the body of a small, damp, pink animal, attached only by something that looked like a rope......”
While there may be some debate as to whether the Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges was technically a Magical Realist, some may feel that his works definitely do have some of the characteristics of what is considered Magical Realistic literature. Among his various types of works are poetry, essays, fantasies, and short fictions. Often referred to in essays that discuss the history and theory of Magical Realism, "The Garden of Forking Paths" is probably Borges' most popular short story. Published in 1964 in a collection of Borges works entitled Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings, his short story "The Garden of Forking Paths" appears to have several of the elements of Magical Realism.
Once upon a time there was a beautiful queen and her stepdaughter with skin as white as snow. The queen was always misunderstood while everyone loved the other woman. No one remembers the side of the story of the queen, but everyone loves the other story.
