Fables !

In Fairy Tales the most important message is the fact that all these mystical creatures have been torn from their home land and they want to go back. All the characters are now living in modern day New York. This is very uncomfortable and makes these fairy tale characters feel unhappy with their lives because everything is totally different.

When you first think fairy tales you think of all these magical creatures and characters living in these wonderful kingdoms and being happily ever after. I pictured them all living happily ever after, but never thought of how they would be if things took a turn in their lives. For example in the comic book the big bad wolf is no longer blowing down little piggy's houses which is in his nature!. Instead he is living with a pig in his apartment, trying to make up for the fact that he tried to kill the pig and feels guilty. He's not even a wolf for that matter instead he has to look like a grown man to adapt to his new city and life as a detective in fable town. It seems as though the wolf likes his career, but he doesn't seem to happy about the fact he can't hunt and do the vicious things he could do before. Also when Bluebeard is attacking Jack in the cell you see this big bad wolf go from a tough man to a large wolf that you would see only in fairy tale land not New York. Which meant that none of these characters could actually walk around in their very own skin because their in modern day and animals don't roam around the city of New York so it's basically like their wearing a mask all the time. This is a horrible thing because they always have to hide and they can't truly live like this forever.

Not only were these fairy tale characters torn from their land and had to live in modern day New York, but they were almost all torn from their riches and lands making them from wealthy people to almost middle class people. Losing all their riches changed a lot of the fairy tale characters. For instance Beauty and the Beast who owned a whole land with a beautiful castle had to leave that all behind and begin to get accommodated with not having none of their riches. This made Bell very frustrating to be around, and caused the beast to slowly start turning from a human to the beast he was before. Also Prince Charming who was one of the riches princes around was so poor he had to try to go ahead and bail out on a restaurant bill. Not only that but many of these characters had to go work off in bad jobs like cleaning floors and apartment complexes just like little boy blue. All of these fairy tale characters have become cheaters also Prince charming and Jack from Jack and the beanstalk. Both of these guys try to scam other fairy tale characters just to get back millions, and they don't care who their stealing from. Although Jack has always been a scam, but this time he gets arrested for it. In fairy world Jack could get away from the Giant and run away with the magic beans, but the big bad wolf put him in his place in fables. Being close to broke made these fairy tale characters desperate and begin to do things every man for himself.

At the end of the day all the fairy tale characters had to accommodate to New York and they faced many challenges doing so. Many of these characters changed who they really where.

Cinderella Today . . .

So if Cinderella lived in this time period things would be different. For once her step mother would be in jail for child neglect and child abuse. Second of all she would probably be the pretty nerdy girl in school. The way I picture Cinderella is mostly like the movie Cinderella by Hilary Duff. A humble teenager that has only one best friend and has no one to go too. She probably wouldn't have a boyfriend but a crush on a guy that doesn't notice her.

Runaways

Runaways has three main plot points. All three plot points are very important. They help us figure out who these characters are really, who their parents really are, and the adventure they go through.
The first plot point is when Aleks mentiomns that his parents have a secret passage way and that they should check it out. The teens being curious go ahead and look at it and only to discover trouble.

little red riding hood & sex ??!? o.O

In graphic novels we read three different types of The Little Red Riding Hood the fairy tale, the trailer, and the comic book version. In all versions some sort of sexuality was observed. Many people say Little Red Riding Hood is about sex. This idea sounds very crazy and obscured, but many hints and details in all three types of literature show it.

In the fairy tale many parents have a different view on the story and many say it's about sex. I believe a parent may see that because all fairy tales have a lesson. In the fairy tale little red riding hood is a innocent little girl that goes to visit her sick grandmother deep in the woods. As she makes this journey through the forest she wears a long red cloak that covers her from head to toe. In addition her mother warns little red not to talk to any strangers and not to leave the path. Little red mothers warning is a typical message every parent gives to their child, "don't talk to strangers." This message is important because no parent wants their child to talk to someone they don't know because this stranger can harm their child and no parent wants to see their child hurt. In addition "stay on the path" is another message a parent tells his or her child because no parent wants their child to go and get lost and they'll never see them again. Just these two messages help convey the idea of parents thinking little red riding hood is about sex because of boys "the wolf" trying to prey in little girls " little red riding hood ."

Although the fairy tale has a message about sex the trailer I saw Little Red Riding Hood has even more details on how this once known fairy tale is some what about sex. In the trailer Little Red wears a beautiful long red hood and red lipstick. It has been proven that the color red is very attractive and sensual for women to lure in men. The girl in the trailer has this sweet voice and this innocent face that helps contribute to this wolf wanting her. In normal eyes a woman wearing lets say a red dress with red lipstick is trying to captivate the attention of a male. Therefore making this story about sex. All the things this girl wears in a trailer leads to a guy that will try to either rape or have sex with her because its almost as though she is teasing him. The wolf attacks the girl in the story, but in normal eyes he doesn't just eat her he tries to have intercourse with her. Just the amount of red she wears makes it seem sexual because it's almost like Red is the color of passion, lust, and love.

So the fairy tale and the trailer both show how the story has to do with sex now the comic book really shows some sort pof sexual attempts made by the wolf and little red. The little red talks to the wolf in such a friendly tone almost as if they was flirting. Flirting almost always leads to sexual behavior. Besides the friendly talking the wolf tries to get little red into bed with him ! he keeps insisting she comes closer and crawls in with him. This type of behavior tells any parent SEXUAL behavior. The wolf represents a guy who tries to talk sweetly to a little girl and then lure her into bed. The wolf is also represented as a animal making the girl know he's most likely aggresive and dangerous. This type of things is something all parents try to warn their daughters about bad boys that will try to hurt them.

All in all after seeing all versions of The little red riding hood I truly believe this story is about sex.

Goldilocks vs Goldiloxs o_0

The original fairy tale of Goldilocks and the three bears is a very innocent tale compared to the version in the novel Enchanted. In the original fairy tale Goldilocks accidentally runs into the three bears house and eats their porridge, breaks their chairs, and sleeps on all their beds. All this is done normally and pleasant and entertaining for children to read. The whole fairy tale in enchanted is messed up though. I come to see that Goldiloxs is taken in as a captive. " Hit her again " is how the scene begins. Never in a million years would you think this blond headed woman is Goldilocks because in the fairy tale she is merely but a child. The Goldiloxs in this story though is being hit repeatedly  and is acting very sarcastic " My dead grandma hits harder than you  " is what she tells them. It's so crazy how this Enchanted story goes because in the fairy tale she is discovered by three bears, but in the novel instead of three bears you get one big guy that looks like three bears have been put inside of him. Goldilox asks the guy " what took you so long " and then explains to her abusers this is her surprise. Which is CRAZY because how does the author of the novel take an innocent little girl Goldilocks who makes a little mistake of destroying some ones home to a beat down woman who seems to be in war and taking a crazy adventure destroying anything that is trying to hurt her. Both fairy tale and novel are totally diffrent even what the girls wear ! and their surroundings is unbelieveable. I think the only reason the author chose to twist this fairy tale up was to show the magic fairy tale characters have and how it was all sugar coated for us as children, but now he's trying to make a twist of his own to show us now as teenagers how crazy fairy world can actually get.

The diffrence between Goldilocks and Goldilox is Goldilocks is a child innocent and friendly while Goldilox is a woman, strong and surrounded by a world of violence. The author of the fairy tale portrays Goldilocks as sweet and kind and some what humble. Goldilox is violent and obnoxious and all gorwn up.

The fairy tale characters in the novel

In the novel you see Jack in the beanstalk, Little red riding hood, Pinochio, Hensel and Gretel, and last but not least Goldilocks. The only way to realize who each character is, is by looking at what their wearing. For example Red riding hood is wearing a red hood. In addition Jack and the bean stalk had magic beans, Goldilocks has the bright yellow hair and Hensel calls out for Gretel like always. The way all the characters are portrayed always gives you a hint of who each character is.
