    Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms— children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. ESRB Game Ratings The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age- appropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families.

  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Puss in Boots: Hanna Januszewska’S Polish Translation and Adaptation of Charles Perrault’S Fairy Tales
    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 33–55 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.002.0856 Monika Woźniak ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A PUSS IN BOOTS: Hanna Januszewska’s POLISH TRANSLATION AND ADAPTATION OF CHARLES Perrault’s FAIRY TALES Abstract: This article opens with an overview of the Polish reception of fairy tales, Perrault’s in particular, since 1700. The introductory section investigates the long- established preference for adaptation rather than translation of this genre in Poland and provides the framework for an in-depth comparative analysis of the first Polish translation of Mother Goose Tales by Hanna Januszewska, published in 1961, as well as her adaptation of Perrault’s tales ten years later. The examination focuses on two questions: first, the cultural distance between the original French text and Polish fairy- tales, which causes objective translation difficulties; second, the cultural, stylistic and linguistic shifts introduced by Januszewska in the process of transforming her earlier translation into a free adaptation of Perrault’s work. These questions lead not only to comparing the originality or literary value of Januszewska’s two proposals, but also to examining the reasons for the enormous popularity of the adapted version. The faithful translation, by all means a good text in itself, did not gain wide recognition and, if not exactly a failure, it was nevertheless an unsuccessful attempt to introduce Polish readers to the original spirit of Mother Goose Tales. Keywords: translation, adaptation, fairy tale, Perrault, Januszewska The suggestion that Charles Perrault and his fairy tales are unknown in Poland may at first seem absurd, since it would be rather difficult to im- agine anyone who has not heard of Cinderella, Puss in Boots or Sleeping Beauty.

  • About the Book: from Favorites Like "Puss in Boots" and "Goldilocks" To
    FAIRY TALE COMICS – READING GROUP GUIDE About the Book: From favorites like "Puss in Boots" and "Goldilocks" to obscure gems like "The Boy Who Drew Cats," Fairy Tale Comics has something to offer every reader. Seventeen fairy tales are wonderfully adapted and illustrated in comics format by seventeen different cartoonists, including Raina Telgemeier, Brett Helquist, Cherise Harper, and more. Edited by Nursery Rhyme Comics' Chris Duffy, this jacketed hardcover is a beautiful gift and an instant classic. For Discussion: Which of the fairy tale comic retellings is your favorite and why? There are many wicked witches, sneaky stepmothers, and creepy creatures in this book. Which villain of all of the comics do you think is the worst of them all? There are also many smart and cunning heroes, who do you think is the cleverest in all the comics? Who would win in a battle of wits? Many fairy tales teach very valuable lessons, such as the fairy tales of Baba Yaga and The Prince and the Tortoise. What lessons do you think these fairy tales present? Can you think of any other stories, or other fairy tales that teach important lessons? In many of the fairytales the characters find themselves in situations they are not sure how to get out of. What would you do if you were Hansel and Gretel stuck in the evil witch’s house, or sent to Baba Yaga who likes to eat children, or were forced to guess someone’s name like in Rumpelstiltskin? What fairy tales not included in the book would you remake into a comic? What parts of the tale would you keep the same and what would you change? Fairy tales are often made into movies, such as Snow White, Cinderella, and many others.

  • The Tale of Charles Perrault and Puss in Boots Morna Daniels
    The Tale of Charles Perrault and Puss in Boots Morna Daniels In 1697 Charles Perrault published a small volume Histoires ou contes du temps passé, which became the source for a huge progeny of children’s books,pantomimes, ballets and folklore.1 The frontispiece of the first French edition shows an old lady telling stories by the fire-side, and a plaque above her reads Contes de ma mere LOye.2 In the first English edition, there is a similar picture, and the plaque is translated as Mother Goose’s Tales.This was the first time the French term appeared in an English book. In France it indicated that the story was a traditional one, told by old women who minded geese, or who cackled like geese; but in England it became applied to Perrault’s tales, which were often published without mentioning his name. Mother Goose entered the world of pantomime, often in association with Perrault’s characters. The stories were widely diffused, then re-collected by later folklore researchers, so that the Brothers Grimm collected German versions, believing them to be folk traditions. Not all of Perrault’s stories became equally popular.The eight stories in his collection were La belle au bois dormant, Le petit chaperon rouge, La barbe bleue, Le maître chat, ou le chat botté; Les fées,Cendrillon, ou la petite pantoufle de verre; Riquet à la houppe and Le petit Poucet.These are usually translated as ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Bluebeard’, ‘Puss in Boots’, ‘The fairies’ (or ‘The fairy’),‘Cinderella’,‘Riquet with the tuft’, and ‘Hop o’ my thumb’.

  • Puss in Boots
    1 Puss In Boots by Charles Perrault Published by Ichthus Academy There was once a miller who had three sons, and when he died his estate was divided among them. The older sons fared very well, but the youngest received nothing but the cat, and he often complained bitterly of his lot. "My brothers may get their living easily enough," he said, "but as for me, I may soon die of hunger and want." The cat, who had heard this, came out of the cupboard where he had been listening. "Do not worry, my good master," he said. "You have only to give me a bag and have a pair of boots made for me, and you shall see that your portion is not so bad as you imagine it to be." The cat's master obtained both bag and boots, and watched the cat pull on the boots and throw the bag over his shoulder. Then Puss in Boots sallied forth. He went to a warren in which there were a great number of rabbits. He put some bran and some parsley into his bag, and then waited for some innocent rabbit to feast on the dainties. Puss In Boots ©Ichthus Academy 2 Soon two young rabbits jumped into his bag and Puss in Boots drew the strings and caught them. Puss in Boots was very proud of his prey, and hurried with it to the palace and asked to speak to the king. Bowing low, Puss said, "Sire, I have brought for you rabbits from the warren of my noble lord, the Marquis of Carabas (the title Puss gave to his master), which he commanded me to present to your majesty with his compliments." The king was much pleased and said, "Tell your lord Marquis of Carabas that I accept his present with pleasure." In this manner the cat continued to carry presents of game to the king at least once a week for two or three months.

    Name: Class: Cinderella By Charles Perrault 1697 French author Charles Perrault is often called the “father of the fairy tale” for his well known tales such as “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Puss in Boots,” “Sleeping Beauty,” and “Cinderella.” Cinderella is a famous folk tale, a story that has been passed down for many generations, about a young woman trying to overcome the cruelty of some of her family. There are numerous different versions of the story, with historical roots in places as far apart as China and Italy. This version, by Perrault, is the first to include the famous pumpkin, fairy godmother, and glass slippers. As you read, take notes on how Cinderella and her stepsisters treat each other throughout the story. [1] Once there was a gentleman who married, for his second wife, the proudest and most haughty1 woman that was ever seen. She had, by a former husband, two daughters of her own, who were, indeed, exactly like her in all things. He had likewise, by another wife, a young daughter, but of unparalleled2 goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world. No sooner were the ceremonies of the wedding over but the stepmother began to show herself in her true colors. She could not bear the good qualities of this pretty girl, and the less because they made her own daughters appear the more odious.3 She employed her in the meanest work of the house. She scoured4 the dishes, tables, etc., and cleaned madam’s chamber, and those of misses, her daughters.
