Freshman English Final Project Spring 2011 I Freshman English Final Project Spring 2011 I. Title of the book: Puss in Boots II. Link: http://storynory.com/2007/09/10/puss-in-boots/ III. Overview: It is a fairy tale about a cat who uses trickery and deceit to gain power, wealth, and the hand of a princess in marriage for his penniless and low-born master. IV. Story background: The French literary tale was written at the close of the seventeenth century by Charles Perrault (1628–1703), a retired civil servant and member of the Académie française. The tale appeared in a handwritten and illustrated manuscript two years before its 1697 publication by Barbin in a collection of eight fairy tales by Perrault called Histoires ou contes du temps passé. The book was an instant success and remains popular today. The tale's immorality has provoked some concern about its influence on young minds, but apparently Perrault composed "Le Maistre Chat" and the other tales of Histoires to reinforce standards of civilized conduct in the upper-class French society of the seventeenth century rather than to provide amusement and instruction for the young. Indeed, Puss has been described by one commentator as "the epitome of the educated bourgeois secretary who serves his master with complete devotion and diligence." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puss_in_Boots) Author: Charles Perrault (12 January 1628 – 16 May 1703) was a French author who laid foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, and whose best known tales, derived from pre-existing folk tales, include Le Petit Chaperon rouge (Little Red Riding Hood), La Belle au bois dormant (Sleeping Beauty), Le Maître chat ou le Chat botté (Puss in Boots), Cendrillon ou la petite pantoufle de verre (Cinderella), La Barbe bleue (Bluebeard), Le Petit Poucet (Hop o' My Thumb), Les Fées (Diamonds and Toads), La Marquise de Salusses ou la Patience de Griselidis (Patient Griselda), Les Souhaits ridicules (The Ridiculous Wishes), Peau d'Âne (Donkeyskin) and Riquet à la houppe (Ricky of the Tuft).[1] Perrault's stories continue to be printed and have been adapted to opera, ballet (for example, Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty), theatre, and film. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Perrault) V. Prediction: 1. What do you think the Puss’s personality? 2. Have you read this tale before? VI. Question for discussion: 1. What does the author want to imply about the cat wear in boots? 2. Do you want to have a cat like Puss? 3. What do you think if you were the Puss? 4. What do you think if you were the master of the Puss? 5. What do you think after reading this tale? VII. Movie Script: 1.

  • 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.

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.

This constitutes breach of copyright. About the Author Jamila Gavin Jamila Gavin was born in India. She moved to England when she was 12 years old, and later studied music at Trinity College of Music, London. She then worked for the BBC, first in radio, then in television, as Production Assistant and Director of Music and Arts programmes. She published her first book, The Orange Tree and Other Stories (later republished as The Magic Orange Tree), in 1979, and has since written many short story collections, teenage novels and books for children aged six to sixteen years, including Grandpa Chatterji, The Wheel of Surya and Coram Boy. About the Book This collection of six original fairy tales by Jamila Gavin takes the reader into familiar territory but adds new twists and fresh perspectives, which invite re-reading and re-thinking about the classic myths and fairy tales. In her preface Gavin writes, Fairy tales were my greatest passion as a child. I could never enter a wood without imagining magical characters: princes and princesses, sorcerers and demons. Even in cities, I would suddenly see a character who, among all the teeming crowds and traffic, seemed to have stepped out of a fairy tale. The world of Gavin’s tales is timeless, there are forests, palaces and caves but the modern world also intrudes into the stories.

Walking in Her Boots: Analysis of Carol Wainio’s Puss in Boots #10 Melissa Allen Throughout her career Canadian painter Carol Wainio (b. 1955) has addressed history, narrative and contemporary socio-political issues in her typically large-scale canvases. Wainio, never having been interested in the pure formal exploration of outright abstraction,1 approaches her subjects with a unique style that integrates both abstract and representational methods. Her preferred use of acrylics is indicative of her painting process, which involves generating imagery on the canvas itself rather than relying on thoroughly planned preparatory drawings or underdrawings2—techniques traditionally associated with oil paint. The idea of addressing the fairy tale specifically—as can be seen in works such as Puss in Boots #10 (2008) (fig. 1)—came to Wainio after she became a mother and was confronted with the prospect of reading and re-reading the same stories to her children.

This constant repetition, returning to the same story multiple times a day, awakened Wainio’s interest in the historical development of fairy tales that we know today. Stories that began within the oral tradition were eventually recorded in written books, but few images accompanied them.
