Tale Course Works Samples For Students

In many ways this story is an inverted fairy tale – beginning with “once upon a time.” In what ways does the fairy tale motif inform the tale?

The fairy tale motif that informs this story does so in two main ways: firstly, it affects the way Godwin writes and the choices of language and descriptive detail that she uses; secondly, because of the mythic qualities that we associate with fairy tales – the notion that they embody some sort of moral message – the woman becomes an archetypal figure, not an individual, but a type or Everywoman. Finally, because ...

The fable dates back to the writings of ancient Greece, which featured the prolific works of Aesop, and even to the Old Testament, which features the fable of the serpent. What all fables have in common is the use of animals, creatures of myth, or natural forces which are given traits of humans for a brief time. The action of the fable expresses some sort of lesson, and fables often end with these lessons restated as a short sentence. One of the most famed fable tellers of the twentieth century is Dr. Seuss, whose wide range of animated books featuring a wide ...

Feminism is a complex concept that is not easy to define. It is an ideology that brings together several different subcategories that uniquely differ from one another. The stylish and radical author of the twentieth century, Angela Carter, exposes her feminist view through her various writings including Fairy Tales, The Sadeian Woman and The Bloody Chamber. As observed by Anna Katsavos in her interview, Carter believes that the view of the female gender is negative with their role being less than ideal to an extent that does not please nor give them glory (Carter and Katsavos 12). In her earliest ...

1) In her essay "The Five Sexes," Fausto-Sternling (1993) argues that there are multiple intersexes that exist between male and female. As opposed to the Western idea of having only two sexes, there are different groups inbetween; hermaphroditic and intersexual people exist and must be acknowledged. In the case of Levi Suydam, an intersexual man who wished to vote in 1843; since he was considered a woman, he was initially barred from voting, since women could not vote at that time.

Fausto-Sternling's primary argument is that there are many biological instances of the intersexual body that exist ...

In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka has generated serious debate on the importance of justice and the deeper meanings in the story. Revolving around an explorer who has come to assess the “apparatus” or the executive tool in the penal colony, the tale is of extreme condemnation and violence of inhumanity. However, going into the depth of the story may lead the reader to believe that the author has provided a setting which was devoid of the concept of justice in humanity. This can further be understood by the references made to the Old Commandment which may be ...

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” has been a beloved children’s fairy tale, as presented by Walt Disney, who stripped it off of its innate, shocking cruelty and ideas which did not appeal to the general public’s idea of what a fairy tale is supposed to sound like. The original story, as captured on paper by the Grimm brothers is one of violence and unnecessary bloodshed, of villains being punished in unimaginably cruel ways, all in order to appease the black and white world of the fairy tale universe.

Most parents believe that children would prefer being told ...

At the beginning of Le Morte d’Arthur, it appears that Arthur is supposed to be the hero of the story. He is raised in ignorance of his true identity; a miracle accompanies the recognition of his right to rule Britain; he endures a struggle to prove himself worthy as a ruler; he has good intentions to rule in a noble manner. In the first two books, for the most part Arthur’s actions seem heroic. He wins battles and demonstrates both bravery and honor. However, Malory also describes an act of Arthur’s that does not accord with the role of hero. ...

The world of fairy tales is a world of black and white, good and evil, where the villain is perceptibly malevolent, his actions mirroring his wicked soul and he is eventually punished, righteously so in the end. Simultaneously, heroines are the ones who enjoy the symbolic protection of the fairy tale universe and it is this that proves to be their salvation, and not their own survival skills. However, one heroine rises above all of these passive damsels in distress and takes her fate into her own hands. At first, Gretel is obedient and passive, listening to her brother’s ...

The author of the review has used adverbs to indicate manner, this can be shown by, for example, the use of ‘weirdly’ (5, 5). This adverb qualifies the verb ‘entertaining’ and is hence used to show how entertaining the two actors are.

Adverbs of time have also been used and one example is the word ‘medieval’ (1, 3). This adverb is used to show when the tale was given. Adverbs have also been used in the review to show degree. An example of this can be shown by the author’s use of the adverb ‘almost’ to qualify the ...

Why do firms feel that liquidity is desirable even though it may mean that the firm does not utilize the investment capability of cash?

CASH IS KING! This was highlighted in the article and has become the popular slogan at the peak of the 2008 financial crisis. Indeed, this phenomenon is more apparent in bad times than in good times when businesses and households are somewhat oblivious of their accumulating debt and complacent which entail potential liquidity risks. If for anything, a financial meltdown reminds everyone again of the importance of being liquid.
So why is liquidity important? In ...

Sight is a very prevalent theme in a great variety of fiction; it can often be a symbol for understanding, comprehension, and enlightenment. Hindsight and foresight are often rewarded as virtues, or at least play heavily into the plot of a story. A blind person is often thought to ‘see’, or comprehend, more than the normal person, and sometimes people are not aware of a shocking truth, despite it looking them straight in the face. These scenarios are found in August Wilson's play Fences, as Troy, the patriarch of the family, is completely undone by his pride and lack of awareness of ...

The survival of the modern economy depends on a neverending stream of consumption. This is why cars do not last as long as they used to, it is why the cost of a new television is not significantly higher than the cost of television repair, and it is why restaurants continue to proliferate across the map, hopping from retail corner to retail corner to chase families down before they can get home and cook their own meals. This trend began in the wake of the Great Depression; while it was largely the mobilization of industry for World War II that brought ...

The poem introduces three characters: the father, the mother and the author. It seems to me that the author is a little boy, a boy being punished, perhaps for no or very little reason, by his father. Although the poem is called “Papa’s Waltz”, the dance that we observe vaguely remind of this graceful, peaceful and enjoyable dance. The couple – papa and his son - dance together with little harmony. The father is obviously dominating and taking the leading role. The dance looses all the pleasure for the little boy and all that is left is to follow blindly. The ...

1. AN EVOLVING INDUSTRY

The advent of the Internet is placing a greater emphasis on online streaming as a means to distribute and exhibit movies online. Given that movies are so easy to pirate today with torrenting and downloads, movie studios are more desperate than ever to find legal ways to offer their movies. Today, Netflix offers a large library of movies for instant streaming that customer pay for by the month – often, this can help more independent releases, as it spotlights films that would not be seen by as many people otherwise. Independent films like ‘Ink’ and “Strictly Sexual’ would not have the followings they ...
