Example 2 Michelle
- My name is Michelle Sedlickas and Im an Adult Reentry student here at Cuyamaca majoring in English and History. Below is a synopsis of my favorite fairy tale.
- My favorite fairy tale is The Three Little Pigs
- This fairy tale is about three young pig brothers who leave home to make their way in the world where each begin by building their own houses. The first two brothers unwisely cut corners to save time and effort by using straw and sticks for their dwellings but the third brother chose to put in the hard work and used brick because he knew it was a stronger and safer material that offered protection and durability. This is proven when the nemesis wolf blew the first two brothers houses down forcing them to flee to the third brothers brick house where they were fully protected against the wolfs attempts to do them harm. The moral of the story is that there is value and reward in hard work, and one should always strive to put forth their best efforts.
- It is my favorite because I have many fond memories of my grandfather reading it to me as a child and using it as a means of impressing the importance of a strong work ethic into my young mind.
- This fairy tale is very much relevant to my life today because the value of hard work is timeless and universal, and I attribute many successes in my adult life to it.
I’m not sure if Robinhood is a Folklore or a fairytale.
Robinhood was a skilled poor man who used his arch skills to collect money for the poor and take this money or tresure from rich people. The story has taken diffrent details, but as much as I concern, it was more of a hero who was wanted by the law for breaking the law. His custome is well known still for halloween celbration as a noble man.
Robinhood shows how good always win and how bad always lose. Good people especially who help others are appreciated and never forgotten.
Yes, Robinhood taught generation that poor people needs support and help. I learned that small amount of donation or sharing food can save families from homelessness or diseases for inadequate diet.
