  • Eucharist and Temptation in Hansel and Gretel
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, July 2018, Vol. 8, No. 7, 1007-1014 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.07.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Ordinary and Special Breads: Eucharist and Temptation in Hansel and Gretel Judith Lanzendorfer University of Findlay, Ohio, USA This article focuses on how Hansel and Gretel, collected by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm in Children’s and Household Tales (1812) should be seen as more than a folktale for small children; it can, instead, be read as a highly theological work related to the Calvinist view of the Eucharist and directed more to young adults and adults. The Grimm brothers, who were strict Calvinists, viewed the tales as being useful in instilling moral lessons to children. As such, Hansel and Gretel can be seen as highlighting the tension between Calvinist and Catholic perspectives on the Eucharist. It is important when teaching the text to consider this culturally relative context. Doing so helps to highlight the original didactic purpose for Children’s and Household Tales and how we can revisit and reclaim the moral initiative of the book in a modern context. Keywords: Grimm, Calvinist, Eucharist, folktale There have been many articles written about Hansel and Gretel, published by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm in 1812 in Children’s and Household Tales. Points of analysis have focused on gender and age (Henneberg, 2010), to the effect that the tale has on the psychological development of the audience members (Wittmann, 2011) to manifestations of the tale in modern media (Rudy & Greenhill, 2014). Perhaps the most influential articles and books, though, are those by Jack Zipes, including the modern English translation of Children’s and Household Tales (2014), to “Who’s Afraid of the Brother’s Grimm: Socialization and Politicization Through Fairy Tales” (1979-1980) to the “Use and Abuse of Folk and Fairy Tales with Children” (1977).

  • Forgotten Fairytales Slay the Cinderella Stereotype
    Forgotten fairytales slay the Cinderella stereotype Stories lost in Bavarian archive for 150 years and newly translated into English offer surprisingly modern characters • The Turnip Princess , by Franz Xaver von Schönwerth Erika Eichenseer, a retired teacher who has dedicated herself to exploring Franz Xaver von Schonwerth’s work since the 1990s, on fairytale trail in woodland outside Regensburg, in Bavaria Photograph: Philip Oltermann for the Guardian Philip Oltermann in Regensburg Friday 26 December 2014 18.20 GMT • Share on Facebook • Share on Twitter • Share via Email • Share on LinkedIn • Share on Google+ • Share on WhatsApp Shares 10,918 11k Comments 61 Once upon a time … the fairytales you thought you knew had endings you wouldn’t recognise. A new collection of German folk stories has Hansel and Gretel getting married after an erotic encounter with a dwarf, an enchanted frog being kissed not by a damsel in distress but by a young man, and Cinderella using her golden slippers to recover her lover from beyond the moon. The stash of stories compiled by the 19th-century folklorist Franz Xaver von Schönwerth – recently rediscovered in an archive in Regensburg and now to be published in English for the first time this spring – challenges preconceptions about many of the most commonly known fairytales. Harvard academic Maria Tatar argues that they reveal the extent to which the most influential collectors of fairytales, the Brothers Grimm, often purged their stories of surreal and risque elements to make them more palatable for children. “Here at last is a transformation that promises real change in our understanding of fairytale magic,” says Tatar, who has translated Schönwerth’s stories for a new Penguin edition called The Turnip Princess.

These are complex beyond a lexical level and demand more from the reader than other types of books. Read his blog article here: http://teachlikeachampion.com/blog/on-text-complexity-and-reading-part-1- the-five-plagues-of-the-developing-reader/ Archaic Language The vocabulary, usage, syntax and context for cultural reference of texts over 50 or 100 years old are vastly different and typically more complex than texts written today. Students need to be exposed to and develop proficiency with antiquated forms of expression to be able to hope to read James Madison, Frederick Douglass and Edmund Spenser when they get to college. Non-Linear Time Sequences In passages written exclusively for students—or more specifically for student assessments— time tends to unfold with consistency. A story is narrated in a given style with a given cadence and that cadence endures and remains consistent, but in the best books, books where every aspect of the narration is nuanced to create an exact image, time moves in fits and start.

While she was sewing, she looked out at the snow and pricked her finger with the needle. Three drops of blood fell onto the snow” (Snow White 81). This is a quote which many may recognize as the opening to the famous fairy tale Snow White. But how many would take notice of the number three in the last sentence of the quote and question its significance? Why, specifically, did three drops of blood fall from the queen’s finger? The quote from Snow White is just one example of many in which the number three presents itself as a significant part of the story.

  • Traditional Tales
    Traditional Tales (1) Once upon a time, there was a beautiful garden in the surroundings of Tatton Park…It was the most wonderful garden that went on as far as the eye could see, filled with colourful flowers and singing birds. The Tatton Park Garden was no ordinary garden, however. You see, Tatton Park Garden was the most magical of all; it holds many tales and stories within its leafy walls. Maybe you have visited Tatton Park’s Gardens with your friends or family? Or maybe you have heard some of the magical tales about them? Why not have a go at the activities below with your grown-ups and see what magical tales you can create at home. Activity 1: Going To See Grandma Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Red Riding Hood. One morning her mother sent Little Red Riding Hood through the Tatton Park Gardens to see her grandmother who lived in a cottage at the end of the gardens. They packed a nice basket for Little Red Riding Hood to take to her grandmother - full of cakes, jam sandwiches, cheeses and fresh strawberries. On the way Little Red Riding Hood strayed off the path, not noticing a big bad wolf was following her all the way to Grandma’s cottage. The wolf, in the meantime, took a shortcut and arrived at Grandma’s cottage where he gobbled poor grandma up! The wolf began to put Grandma’s night clothes on and then he jumped into Grandma’s bed. A few minutes later, Red Riding Hood appeared at her Grandma’s realising that Grandma doesn’t usually have such big eyes, big ears and big teeth! It was not Grandma but the big bad wolf! Shouting for help, little Red Riding Hood was saved by a nearby log cutter who made the wolf spit Grandma out and chased the wolf off into the deep depths of the gardens.

  • First 100 Stories for Story Listening Stories Beniko Mason First
    First 100 Stories for Story Listening stories Beniko Mason first I have been telling fairy tales and folktales from around the world in class as an English lesson since 1990. The combination of listening to stories and reading books has helped my students do well on tests without output or grammar studies. Story- Listening is so powerful that students improve rapidly in listening comprehension and acquire many words. There are countless stories in the world, but I happen to like Grimm Brothers’ house- hold tales. Almost all stories start with, “Once upon a time…” “Once upon a time there was a rich king.” “Once upon a time there were three brothers.” “Once upon a time there was a soldier.” They always start with an introduction of a main character. These stories are very suitable for story-listening lessons in different ways. The stories have interesting content; they are written in rich language; there are many different situations, problems, and characters; and they have stood the test of time. I have gathered here the first 100 easier stories for you to choose from to use for your classes. I will only give you the titles. You can download them from any sites that have the collection of Great Grimm Brothers’ household tales. These stories are not just for children. They deal with many different themes that children may not understand yet, such as deception, loyalty, and true love. Thus, story-listening is not just for children, but for adults also. Story-Listening can be used for any age and also at any levels of proficiency.
