Fairytales

Last week in class, we began learning about and reading fairytales.  I was not a huge fan of fairytales at first, because I always thought a lot of them taught the same lesson, or had too much repetition.  My views have changed a little bit since I read the fairytales that we were assigned.  I didn't realize how different the original stories were from the revised ones that are read to kids.  In my opinion, the original stories are told better than the newer ones.  It has a lot more meaning and power when the author does not censor the material for the younger viewers.  That way the point comes across a lot stronger to the reader.  I am excited to learn more about fairytales in class.
