Never underestimate a girl

https://youtu.be/Z3GUs97s0V4  Helloooooo my Ary Readersss what you think of that name ? Youuu like that name ??  Yeah me either needs work (a lot 😂) Anyway click the link and enjoy this cartoon called Johnny Bravo. In this episode they had a Little red riding hood theme which made me view the whole story differently. Opened my eyes and made me realize that the story doesn’t have to be the same even if it’s old. Many people remake old versions of folk and fairy tales and sometimes they come out better. Personally I believe that this episode was cool and very educational because the little girl that played little red riding hood wasn’t as gulliable as the others she was smart about making decisions and didn’t  believe just anything but her own instincts. For example, the part where Johnny gets to the forest before Hood and changes the signs to get to granny’s house. So, Hood sees the signs that lead to her grandmothers house wasn’t correct from the last time she visited her grandmother so she double checked her location and noticed that the signs where changed, although in an old tale they would have just followed the sign instead of realizing the difference in the path. This cartoon showed me the social background of the little red riding hood because of the knowledge between girls and boys. I like the fact that the girl is not gullible like other authors depict the female role. Another reason I like this is because the girl was aware of her surroundings and had a plan for every obstacle that Johnny put in her way. In conclusion, Johnny understestimated her knowledge and ability to overcome obstacles as young girl on her own.

Beauty and the Beast

Heyyy Everyone!!! Question time! so, have you ever dreamed of being an animal? or If you could be any animal what would it be?? {Drop Comment} I would love to know, btw I would want to be a black panther. ouuuuu a panther lol your probably thinking why panther? well because they are very beautiful and black, which is my favorite color. Any who could you imagine transforming into a beast? Hmmph not me said the goose. Since where on the topic the tale The Frog Princess which has multiple versions to it but where going focus on the one about the beauty and the beast. But there's a twist because the female is the beast and the male is the beauty. in which three children make a bow and shoot the arrow at random to find a wife. one of the children arrows *drum roll please* landed on a frog. in which the child neglected but ended up liking and transformed into a stunning, intelligent, well skilled princess. in comparison to the swan maiden the transformation was the same en...

what are your thoughts ??

Folk and fairy tales, what’s the difference? Idk yet, but I do know that, “The Little Red Robin Hood” being one of the all times movies that many people love, and all the other remakes of it ( am I giving it too much credit?). How good was the movie to you? Any who, enough with the questions!! I bet you didn’t know that “The Little Red Robin Hood” is indeed a European fairytale.   But my question is, what inspired Charles Perrault to have come up with the idea of a young girl traveling to go see her grandmother who is unfortunately eaten by a wolf before she could even get to her? Only traveling without the knowledge that she will be eaten next when she arrives. This fairytale creates so much wonder for me. For instance, just thinking about it like how do you not tell that a wolf is dressed up as your grandmother? Are you blind or you just can’t see. Or what gave the wolf the idea to impersonate an old lady just to eat the granddaughter? That question “blows me away” that phrase...

Guest speaker

Okaayyyy sooo It’s been a while since I wrote a blog. Wow ladies and gents are you ready for a story I have for you. Pass few classes we have had  guest speakers come in and tell us about folktale and their stories and how they’ve been told to them. So we recently learned more about Kenyan folktales and how unique they are from other folktales and I say this because kenyan folktales makes it seem like you where there it’s very realistic in a way that makes your imagination go wild. The uniqueness about kenyan folktale is that most of the time it follows through with a song which is very traditional  and really makes the story come alive. For instance when Dr. Ochieng’ K’Olewe told wonderful stories to the class. One being about the money and the shark story which is one of my favorites because the shark took the monkey as a fool and he was know fool, and the ending made me laugh the most. I would tell you guys the story but I don’t think I can tell it as good as he did. It was...
