Hansel and Gretel- I thought this story was very interesting with the way it ended and it gave me mixed emotions to feel about their mother with the way she treated them.

Cinderella- I thought this story was very fascinating because the they would abuse cinderella and she would always remind kind and in the end she was rewarded for staying true to herself and her mother that passed away.

Hansel and Gretel- 1 epiphany I had was that I believe that the mother was the witch because when they came back to their father's house he told them the mother had died. Additionally, Gretel had killed the witch before they had arrive.

Cinderella- A epiphany I had was that her mother was represented by the birds and thats why they made sure to watch over Cinderella and make sure that she receives her mother wishes.

Hansel and Gretel- This story was very interesting because even though the father did not want to send his children to the middle of the woods he still listened to the stepmother and he sent the children into the woods.

Cinderella- I find this story very weird with the step-sisters' eyes being pecked out at the end but I thought that they deserved it.

Hansel and Gretel- One epiphany I had was that the stepmother was the witch because when they were by the witch I noticed that the stepmother called them lazybones and the witch also called them that.
Cinderella- One epiphany that I have was that Cinderella was the girl that danced with the prince because she asked for a beautiful dress and then she came home and changed before the stepmother could figure it out. Her mother also kept an eye on Cinderella-like shed promise as long as she behaved she got what she wanted in the end.

Cinderella- I found this story very interesting story from a beautiful young girl who get treated with respect but when her mother died and she got a new mother she was treated like trash.
Hansel and Gretel- It was a very interesting story of poor family and how they mother wants to get rid of her kids and how the husband totally disagrees with her

Hansel and Gretal- This story was very interesting to me because after all the hard times the children had to go through with their step mother, they found found their way back home and was happily ever after with their father.

Cinderella- I thought this was a beautiful and sad story because Cinderella had to live with her step mother and sisters who treated her very badly and had to go through a lot on her own. She would always go to her mothers grave and her wishes would be granted. Her step sisters got punished for all the wrong they did to Cinderella and she finally gets her happily ever after when she got dressed up, danced with the prince, and even when the shoe fit her and was the true bride of the prince.

Cinderella: I found this version of the story very interesting because Id only every heard the Disney version of the story. In this version it was less kid friendly such as when they cut of parts of their feet or had their eyes pecked out.
Hansel and Gretel: I found it interesting that they made the woman in the story the mean one who didn't care about the children. In today's stories its often the man/father who is mean to the children.

Hansel and Gretal- One epiphany I had was, I believe the mother was the witch by all the hints being thrown throughout the part when the children were at the witches house. The mother had died before the children came home, and the witch at the same time was dead from being killed by Gretal.

Cinderella- One epiphany I had was, Cinderella’s mother had told her that she would always look down on her and be there for her. Throughout the story, Cinderella’s mother was helping her out to go to the dance, get the pretty dresses and get her happily ever after with the prince.

# data[].attributes.body
Cinderella: An epiphany I had about this story was that the father probably didn't care about Cinderella so he would've let the step mom treat her badly. I think this because he doesn't seem to think very highly of her which is shown when the prince wants to see her and he calls her deformed.
Hansel and Gretel: An epiphany I had about this story is that the woman and the witch are probably the same person because the dad said that the woman died and wasn't there so its possible it was her in the woods. In addition to this they both refer to the children by the same name

# data[].attributes.body
Cinderella: This version of Cinderella is far different than the other versions I've read. It's more violent and explained in gruesome detail what happened to the stepsister's eyes compared to the Disney version. And, a big difference was the fact that the father didn't care for Cinderella, and nor did he end up dying in the beginning, leaving Cinderella to her new cruel family.
Hansel and Gretel: I like this story because it's realistic and shows that the mother doesn't always deserve to be a mother nor is she always the one to care for her children. The father was the one who wanted to keep the children even though he gave in to his wife to abandon the kids in the forest.

Cinderella: Why would the stepmother instill into her daughters the undying need to be rich and marry rich? What happened in the past?
Hansel and Gretel: Why would the father leave his children if he loved them so much? Did he not love them enough or was it due to desperation?

Cinderella: An epiphany I had was that maybe the pigeons represented her mother and watched over her till the end. It was because of the pigeons that she finished picking all the lentils, could get a dress, dealt with the stepsisters, and married her into the princes' family.
Hansel and Gretel: An epiphany I had was the towards the end, I realized the witch and the stepmother is the same person. Maybe that was why they knew their way around the forest and why they died around the same time.

Hansel and Gretel: Overall, I thought the story was a nice change to the regular Disney version I was so used to knowing. I enjoyed reading this version more and it didn’t bore me like I thought it would at the beginning. It piqued my interest by showing that the story didn’t happen all in one or two days but instead multiple and had more interactions between the characters.

Cinderella: Overall, I thought this version of the story was a bit dark to be considered a children’s story. There are some depressing and morbid references in the story like how Cinderella grew her tree from crying about her mother’s death, or how the sisters cut off parts of their feet to please their mother’s wishes of being royal. It was very different compared to the movies and stories produced by Disney, but I can’t blame them for wanting to change it to appeal to a better and younger audience.

# data[].attributes.body
Hansel and Gretel: One question I had while reading the story is what is the significance of the white duck?

Cinderella: One question I had while reading was would her Fairy Godmother in the Disney version be considered the remains of her mother and the tree?

# data[].attributes.body
Hansel and Gretel: One epiphany I had while reading was wondering why Hansel was carrying rocks with him in his pockets. I didn’t realize that it was so he and his sister could find their way home from the woods. This was also when I realized how different this version of the story would be compared to the Disney version.

Cinderella: One epiphany I had while reading was where was when Cinderella got her dress. Since I inferred that there was probably not going to be a Godmother once I read that the tree had grown, I pieced the fact that Cinderella had her animal friends help her out. I had forgotten how much of an important role the animals had played in the story while reading. Noticing how she called on them to help her before she went to the ball made me realize that she would get her dress from her animal friends and not her Godmother.

# data[].attributes.body
For Hansel and Gretel, I thought how money affect families and how they would disown their children because they do not have enough money to feed everyone.

For Cinderella a thought that the ending was very extreme and if the step sisters really deserved to get there eyes gouged out. Also the Grimm brothers fairy tale was much more graphic then the ones I am used to by Disney.

One question I had for Hansel and Gretel was why did the father not try harder to go against his wife when she wanted to abandon his children?

One epiphany I had from Hansel and Gretel was how the father was genuinely happy that his children are back and how it was mysterious that the woman died the same time the witch did. Also it may be possible that the witch was the fathers wife as well because they both wanted to get rid of the kids and call them the same way. Even if they are not the same person, the witch maybe symbolism for the wife.
One epiphany I had for Cinderella was Cinderellas father did not like her as much as the other step children. in the beginning of the story he got all his children an gift but at the end he called Cinderella deformed.

Hansel and Gretel

- It’s a pretty sad story, especially the fact where their parents abandon them because they didn’t have enough to support them. It intrigued me how this one had a good ending as I heard the story of Hansel and Gretel before, but only a summary.

Cinderella

- I was always familiar with the more friendly version of cinderella and I heard that there was a dark version of this story, but never bothered to read it. Now that I did it gives me satisfaction to know Cinderella for proper revenge

Hansel and Gretel-  Compared to other Grimm's fairytale this is the most similar one to the original tale of Hansel and Gretel that I grew up reading even though it took a very dark turn. It was very sad at first and then it transformed into a good ending. I like it.

Cinderella - This was very shocking to me when I read it because it is nothing like the original tale. The absence of the fairy godmother makes it seems lacking and less interesting to read seeing as that transformation was the turning point to look forward to in the story.

Hansel and Gretel - Why didn't the father try to look for the kids after the mother died if he missed them that much?

Cinderella - How come the father allowed the step mother and her children to treat his daughter in that way? Did he not care about Cinderella or did he want to just please his new wife?

# data[].attributes.body
Hansel and Gretel - An epiphany that I had about this story is that the mother of the kids was a witch because of how everything in the story aligns.  The influencing of the mother to lose the kids, time of death of the mother and the children's random encounter with the witch  were all hints.

Cinderella - An epiphany that I had about this story is the Grimm fairytale's are very dark and violent however it includes nature alot. In Cinderella they replaced the fairy godmother with birds and other animals of nature and they helped her to transform . Instead of making the story whimsical they made it more realistic to life and to appreciate nature in a way.

Hansel and Gretel: I wonder if the step mother was actually the witch since both of them wanted the kids dead.

Cinderella: Why was the father never home? Why did the step mother just hate Cinderella before she even got to know her?

Hansel and Gretel: When I was reading the story i kept thinking why did the father just kept listening to his wife when he could have stood up for his kids and kick the wife out. When it came to the ending and I red that the wife had died I was starting to believe she was the witch. They both wanted the children dead.

Cinderella: This verse of Cinderella is different from the movie. In the movie she only goes to the ball once but in the story she goes there 3 times and she never wore a blue ballgown and glass slippers. She had gold shoes in this story. In the end it was horrible because in the story the sisters cut their feet to fit in the shoe and the birds peak their eyes to make them blind but in the movie that never happens.

Cinderella: This story is okay and sad, but ends off happy. In the beginning she was treated wrongly by her sisters. However this version is way more graphic. They do much more violent things such as cutting off toes and in a way it shows to be more real as to show how far the sisters went.

Cinderella: This version of Cinderella differs significantly from the others I've read. In comparison to the Disney version, it is extremely brutal and explains what happened to the stepsister's eyes in terrible detail. A significant difference was that Cinderella's father did not care for her and did not die in the beginning, leaving Cinderella to her new nasty family.

Hansel and Gretel: I enjoy this story because it's realistic and illustrates that a mother doesn't always deserve to be a mother or be the one to look after her children. Even though he gave in to his wife's request to dump the children in the forest, the father wished to keep them.

Hansel and Gretel: If the father missed his children so much, why didn't he go looking for them when the mother died?

Cinderella-
I find this version of Cinderella a bit different from the versions I have read as a child. This version has violence unlike the few other versions I’ve read. Something that stood out was the fact that Cinderella’s father didn’t care for her and he was still alive in the beginning of the story. There were more details that were horrifying.

Hansel and Gretel:
Usually I read stories where the fathers are that ones neglecting their children, however in this story the mother was neglecting the children. I appreciate how they changed it up and made it unlike other stories.

Hansel and Gretel- Throughout the story I got an epiphany that the stepmother might have been the witch. The dialogue was similar in many ways and it was strange that she knew her way around the forest.

Cinderella- While I was reading I had an epiphany that her mother was there with her but not physically. Her mother might have been watching over her. Her mother might have seen the way the family was treating her and helped her in a way even though she wasn’t there with her physically.

My thoughts on Grimm's Cinderella is that it's the classic "rags to riches" kind of story. I found that the dialouge used between the characters were a lot different than the Disney movies.

My thoughts on Grimm's Hansel and Gretel is that the mother did not deserve her children. She had kids yet wanted nothing to do with them which is really sad. I felt bad for the father because he wanted to save them.

Hansel and Gretel: I like how the siblings made it a goal to stick together and support each other regardless of the fact that their parents neglected them due to financial issues. This story truly showcases the power of sibling love. I really appreciated how the tale ended in a happy ending

Cinderella: I think this story highlights what many people have to go through. Some people who have to live with foster parents or step parents are faced with the harsh reality that they are not truly cared for, similar to how cinderella felt.

Hansel and Gretel: The step mother was actually a witch. Her word choice and actions revealed that she was indeed the witch who tormented the kids.

Cinderella: Although Cinderella was treated the worst in her family, she was the only one to catch the king's eye. This bolsters the idea that her worth was rooted deep inside rather than in her appearance.
