-Biblical
-Shakespearean
-Folk/Fairy Tale]]> 2017-09-14 11:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/187505540 1. Biblical bsheffield1 https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/187507505 Going out of order from what the book lists, a biblical myth covers a wide range of human situations more than the others on the list. Traits of a myth are physical, sexual, psychological, and spiritual. An example of this could be Adam and Eve and the story of Moses.]]> 2017-09-14 11:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/187507505 2. Shakespearean bsheffield1 https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/187515727 Shakespeare has written plenty of stories that correlate to the traits of a myth. Stories that science and mathematics cannot explain like when someone can use magic to try to make things work like in The Tempest when Prospero conjures storms and frees sprites from trees.]]> 2017-09-14 12:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/187515727 3. Folk/Fairy Tale bsheffield1 https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/187520960 Folklore or Fairy Tales are more mythical than the other two with the likes of ancient mythology. This mythology we see daily not just in books but in everyday life with street, cities, and colleges named after famous mythical stories.]]> 2017-09-14 12:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/187520960 Hanseldee and Greteldum hreed17 https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188448529 By using allusions to fairy tales and children stories give the reader familiarity. The stories can relate to bigger audience than Biblical or Shakespearean. This helps the reader better understand what is going on. An example is the story of Hansel and Gretel.]]> 2017-09-18 13:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188448529 Irony hreed17 https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188473157 By using other known works, it brings irony. Since fairy tales/children's stories are so simplistic, when used in a more complicated matter, they become ironic. An example of this is The Bloody Chamber (1979). These stories use fairy tales to show sexism and culture found in them. ]]> 2017-09-18 14:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188473157 Expectations hreed17 https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188489233 Readers expect and know whats going to happen from reading fairy tales. They want something familiar and new. Familiar in images,  themes,  and basic plot. If an author can combine the two, then depth is added to the text and the reader's experience. For example,  the reader knows what to except of Alice in Wonderland. By finding the reference in other literature, the reader than can ask -why is the author making this connection? ]]> 2017-09-18 14:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188489233 ALWAYS ASK WHY? hreed17 https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188505146 Ask why whenever you see a fairy tale reference. ]]> 2017-09-18 15:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188505146 bsheffield1 https://padlet.com/hreed17/1f41d0bpya2n/wish/188532114 Ex.
