Mostly because it starts off with the mother dying and the father quickly remarrying to the most rude stepmother she would go as far as not feeding the twins (son and daughter). This quickly changes when the stepmother tells the twins to go see her mother (a witch), but on the way they stop by there grandmothers house and she lends some wise words "hint: Be kind and good to everyone; do not speak ill words to any one; do not despise helping the weakest, and always hope that for you, too, there will be the needed help." (Baba Yaga). Right after this the tone becomes really depressing because Gretel started crying. Which in about two sentences turned into a helpful manner all the way until the end when in the story it ended with this "The father was touched and became angry. He sent the wicked stepmother away and lived a new life with his good children." ending in a joyous manner.
My expectations have been pretty close to met its not how I imagine the story going but it got the main points down so the reader would know that it was a Hansel and Gretel story. This interpretation of the story seems to be a little dumbed down, maybe so that children could understand the point of the story. The story takes place in the same type of place its just in Russia.]]> 2017-09-25 14:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/19lepagea/f7jufnb1nhj/wish/190830225 19lepagea https://padlet.com/19lepagea/f7jufnb1nhj/wish/190830453 In the beginning , the tone is very Grim, because of the fact that the mother is trying to convince the father that if they get rid of his children, they can eat. It gets darker because of the fact that the people in question, listened to their entire conversation and Gretel begins to weep, turning the tone into despair, But Hansel takes on a heroic role and says to her "Be quiet, Gretel," said Hansel, "and don't worry. I know what to do." (Grimm) The tone continues into when they go into the woods, we are hopeful for the children surviving and Hansel enacting his plan to get them back, and when he gets back with Gretel, the tone turns from dark, to joyous, it is identified with this line , "But the father was overjoyed when he saw his children once more, for he had not wanted to leave them alone." The Father was guilt-ed and put into the situation by his wife to get rid of the kids and his joyous response changed the tone, but not until the wife still wanted to get rid of them so they could eat. And then they locked the door and once again it is turned to despair when they locked them inside the house to Hansel couldn't gather stones and Gretel began to cry, but stopped when Hansel became heroic and said "Don't cry, Gretel. Sleep well. God will help us."  It became a hopeful story when they are led into the woods, but then crushed when they find that their bread trail was eaten by birds, and they went further and further into the woods it became hopeless until they found the candy witches house. They were able to feast until the witch came along and wanted to eat the kids, turning the story more and more grim with the witches words "Get up, lazybones! Fetch water and cook something good for your brother. He is locked outside in the stall and is to be fattened up. When he is fat I am going to eat him." With the words fattened and calling Gretel lazybones, and ending it with i am going to eat him, it turns this into a dire situation where they have to react. After some conflict between the witch and the kids the witch dies and the kids take home food and precious stones to the family on a goose, turning the mood into hopeful and joyous when they found out the stepmother who wanted to get rid of them. ]]> 2017-09-25 14:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/19lepagea/f7jufnb1nhj/wish/190830453 19lepagea https://padlet.com/19lepagea/f7jufnb1nhj/wish/190832930 The tone of the story is very similar to the first one with the parents wanting to get rid of the children, it starts out grim with the father saying "We have waited and have waited and things are getting worse every day; if we wait much longer we shall all be dead. No, I am determined on it; tomorrow the children to the forest." (Jacobs, Joseph) So instead of the mother, the father wants to get rid of them. it travels the same path as the first one as Hansel picks up stones and leads them back to the house. and they locked them in the house and the second time they led a trail back with breadcrumbs but the birds ate them up. And when they went to the witches house they were captured and Gretel was forced to fatten Hansel and help the witch and it becomes somewhat grim when they fight over the oven and Gretel pushes her in and run away from the witch with Hansel, and in this version the witch escapes and the tone becomes tense as the witch runs after the two and then Gretel drinks the river putting in a very silly, unrealistic tone while also in a running scene. And at the end, the parents became very rich and tried to look for them. It ended with a very nice tone as in the paragraph it said "So Johnnie and Grizzle ran back home, and when they got there they found that their father the farmer had earned a lot of money and had been searching and searching for them over the forest, and was mighty glad to get back Johnnie and Grizzle again."
My expectations for the story was that it would be either in a different setting, or that it would be different but stay to the core of the stories. It copied a lot from the original with its little twists in the witch scene where the witch runs after the kids and in the cartoony part where Gretel drinks from the river to drain it. and the last part it became very happy and a good ending because the parents got really rich off of unknown reasons and they lived happily ever after. The aesthetic appeal is pretty similar to it since they both had pretty cliche happy endings that everything was okay and resolved and lived happily ever after. ]]> 2017-09-25 14:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/19lepagea/f7jufnb1nhj/wish/190832930 19lepagea https://padlet.com/19lepagea/f7jufnb1nhj/wish/190833690 This story's tone seems to be very different than the original. The story seems to be inane or absurd because of how the story is told. The weird beginning where the mother randomly goes missing but is then brushed past like nothing ever happened. It seemed inane because of the point where they were stealing food from the witch. "The little girl now burst out into a fit of laughter" (The Two Children and the Witch). The only grim part is when the witch, "thrust them into a large box full of chestnuts, and shut them up", and then to fatten them up to eat them. Right after this though the story turns from hopeless to hopeful when a fay tells them how to trick the witch. When this is done the story says that "The children took possession of the shed and all it contained" . Which seems to turn the tone to absurd because two children are not able to run a house, they are just kids.
My expectations were not met with this story. It didn't really have as solid as a message as the other stories. This story is not at all what I think about when I think of the classic story of Hansel and Gretel. This interpretation of the story seems to rely on the story and less of the ending message, which the other stories seems to rely on more. The story takes place in the stereotypical dark spooky woods with no one around.]]> 2017-09-25 14:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19lepagea/f7jufnb1nhj/wish/190833690
