by Shelby C. & Lena H. of HIgh Tech High International '14
We have all seen the Disney classics, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White.They are staples in many family homes.
However, these stories have truly dark origins. They include evil witches, dangerous dragons, betrayal, and death. Here are three stories that are consistent with the themes of violence, showing morals, and the plight of an underdog. We chose to read this book because we wanted to know the original tales behind the popular Disney movies. All of these stories can be found in Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales. |
