    The What-If…? Game ​ ​ How to Play: Objective: Create interesting new stories by ​ ​ changing parts of movies, tv shows, or video games. This game will help you think like a writer. You may play it with as many or as few players as you want. Take turns asking “what-if” questions about a movie, tv show, or story. Your question should start with the words “what if …”, and your question should change the story in some way. (If you are playing by yourself, write your questions down in a journal or sketchbook.) Example: “What if Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother was really a space alien?” ​ Does this question make you re-imagine the story? Now you’re thinking as a writer! Two Ways to Play! You don’t have to limit yourself to stories that have already been written. Write your own stories by asking what-if questions about everyday life! www.crankoutwords.com Kinds of What-If questions: We can ask many different kinds of what-if questions. Use the following list to inspire you. Here are some ideas: ● What if __(character)__ was a __(job description OR gender OR being)_ instead of a ​ ​ ​ ​ __(his/her/its job/gender/being in the story)__? ​ ○ Example: What if Cinderella was a shoemaker instead of a maid? ​ ○ Example: What if Harry Potter was a girl instead of a boy? ​ ○ Example: What if Olaf in Frozen was a robot instead of a snowman? ​ ● What if __(character)__ wanted __(desire) __ instead of __(what he/she/it really ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ wants in the story)__? ​ ○ Example: What if Cinderella really wanted to take over the whole kingdom ​ ​ instead of wanting

  • FAIRY TALES and THEIR INNER MEANINGS ~ Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp ~ Cinderella ~ ~ Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ~ by the Rev
    FAIRY TALES AND THEIR INNER MEANINGS ~ Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp ~ Cinderella ~ ~ Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ~ By The Rev. Dr Ian Ellis-Jones An Address to the Spirit of Life Unitarian Fellowship, at Kirribilli, New South Wales, on 27 October 2013 H P Blavatsky points out that there is one universal esoteric or ‘mystery’ language underlying all the sacred traditions of history. She writes that ‘all the ancient records were written in a language which was universal and known to all nations alike in days of old, but which is now intelligible only to the few.’ Fairy tales are a sub-genre of the artistic and literary genre known as ‘fantasy,’ the latter being a genre in which life---or at least some aspect of life---is depicted in an ‘unnatural’ (ugh) and highly imaginative manner. The problematic word ‘unnatural’ does not mean ‘unrealistic’ or ‘supernatural’ (whatever that means), but, in fantasies, imagination, wonder and fancy all play very important roles. The characters often engage in ‘fantasies,’ that is, visionary fancies and other kinds of mental images including dreams, daydreams and hallucinations. A ‘fantasy’ ordinarily involves the following elements: first, a quest or journey of some kind, often involving tests, trials and tribulations, with a battle between ‘good’ and ‘evil’; secondly, a fictitious or legendary place in which strange, ‘unnatural’ events occur; thirdly, the presence of strange, ‘unnatural,’ fanciful, even grotesque, characters and capricious forces; and fourthly, lessons in how to live, evolve, and relate to others and a power-not-oneself that is capable of freeing oneself from the bondage of self.

  • A Brief Analysis of the Famous Grimm's Fairy Tales
    IMPACT FACTOR UPA NATIONAL E-JOURNAL ISSN 5.473(SJIF) Interdisciplinary Peer -Reviewed Indexed Journal 2455 -4375 FAIRY TALES OR BRUTAL TALES: A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF THE FAMOUS GRIMM’S FAIRY TALES. Dr. G. R. Hashmi S. K. Porwal College, Kamptee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract:Generally, people think or remember of fairy tales from their childhood, they can count on one thing — a “happily ever after.” But fairy tales weren’t always feel-good, happy ending stories. Many of them were utterly depressing and had a horridness about them. These fairy tales of old — like those passed down by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm — were more often cautionary tales meant to teach children hard lessons in a pleasant way. The Brothers Grimm became famous for their retellings of these old German folk tales, in all their gory glory. But thanks to brands like Disney, the fairy tales children grow up with today scarcely resemble their darker origins. The purpose of this article is to showcase the brutality these tales contained in aplomb. Key Words:- Violence, Murder, Mutilation, Cannibalism, Incest, Infanticide etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kinder and Hausmarchen, Known in English as Children’s and Household Tales or the Grimm’s Collection is a classic among the children’s literature. As children, we have all been enthralled by characters such as Cinderalla, Snow White and so on, and we have all dreamt of becoming one of them. But the more apparent vicious side of the same innocent tales glares at us in a lesser terrifying way. On the covers are the most innocent titles which depict nice tales for nice children.
