Created in the Middle East at the height of the Islamic Golden Age, the folk tales have become famous over the centuries- bedtime stories for generations of children.]]> 2018-02-05 15:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228166351 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228171136 Sheherazade  is the narrator. She is the wife of a cruel king who was so angry over his brother's heartbreak that he planned to marry and kill every woman in the kingdom until no women were left. Sheherazade volunteered to be the first wife, and the night before she was supposed to be executed she enacted a plan to save herself and all the women of the kingdom. She would tell the king one story every night, leaving him on a cliffhanger so that he would have to let her live if he wanted to know how the story ended, not knowing that the stories would never end.]]> 2018-02-05 15:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228171136 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228177100 My favorite story was the fourth night's tale.

Most notably, however, is the Disney story of Aladdin, which is not only based on one of the stories but includes many references. One such reference is in the song Genie sings after meeting Aladdin. "Well, Ali Baba had then forty thieves. Sheherazada had a thousand tales."]]> 2018-02-06 18:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228773583 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228775921 You can see the influence of my favorite story in other works. JK Rowling wrote The Tale of the Three Brothers for her bestselling series, Harry Potter. Call me crazy, but there's definitely some resemblance. Two brothers receive gifts they are ungrateful for and eventually get what's coming to them while the third lives a long life taking nothing for granted.]]> 2018-02-06 18:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228775921 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228779899 2018-02-06 18:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228779899 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228781823 2018-02-06 18:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228781823 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228782056 2018-02-06 18:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228782056 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228785678 2018-02-06 18:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228785678 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228785838 2018-02-06 18:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228785838 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228786015 2018-02-06 18:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228786015 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228786234 2018-02-06 18:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228786234 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228791934 Even a ballet was created based on the tales.]]> 2018-02-06 18:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228791934 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228792504 2018-02-06 18:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228792504 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228792719 One of many great works of English literature inspired by the Nights is Candide.]]> 2018-02-06 18:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228792719 natalie_cruzat19 https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228793065 Hundreds of children's stories have come out of the magical and fantastical tales of the Nights.]]> 2018-02-06 18:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_cruzat19/ynhzsaefchnt/wish/228793065
