Let's get started!

Alright class! I gave you a few examples of how you can post to your blog, but I don't want to give it all away! Come up with more ways that you can explain how my friend Weetzie's novel is a fairy tale or how it is not a fairy tale! Get specific! Best of luck! - Princess Elizabeth

Heroes and Villains

Let's talk about heroes and villains within my short story! If you did not know, I am the good character better known as the hero. The fire breathing dragon is not a good character, because he destroyed my kingdom and many others that makes him the villain! Plus he took Prince Ronald! As the good character it is my destiny to defeat the villain and save the day. Easier said that done. I had to convince the dragon that he had to prove that he was the most evil dragon by tiring him out. I had him fly around the world, breathe fire until he could not anymore and so on. In the end I won which is also proves how good always wins against bad. Another element that I can cover within this post is the fairy tale aspect of magic! Magic is not always fun with genies and such, but it can be dangerous too especially when it is a fire breathing dragon who CAN TALK! Dragons can not talk in real life, nor breathe fire. The Komodo dragon in fact is not that massive either, (Although they can get pretty BIG!) as in they can not going around flying or eating kingdoms in just a few bites!

Once Upon A Time....

Even though there is no cliche opening to my story like Once Upon A Time...it is still a fairy tale for other reasons. This story is about how I saved prince Ronald, the prince who I thought was my happily ever after. Although this story has a very unique version of happily ever after it still has magic, heroes and villains, good always wins, and of course there is royalty. Let's talk about royalty within the story first. Obviously, I, Elizabeth, am a princess, and I am to marry a prince, Ronald, or at least I am told. This aspect of royalty finding each other can be found in many fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty where the princess always finds her prince. Another way that royalty can be portrayed is by having a damsel in distress gets saved by a prince and they go off to live happily ever after. However, in my story I found out for myself that royalty is not always what is needed to make oneself happy. In fact only oneself can make you truly happy. Speaking of happy, I can tell you about something that does not make me happy! This will lead us to our second post about heroes and villains.
