Hansel and Gretel
class,
The major assignment’ writer’s choice who’s voice’ required us to alter a piece of text and present the planning and thought processes back to the class in an oral presentation. I chose the fairy tales Hansel and Gretel by Brothers Grimm to use as my discussion piece.
The brothers Grim are possibly still to this day one of the greatest writers for fairy tales riddles and children’s stories. The brothers we born in 1785 and passed away in the years of 1860-1870. Theses brothers pretty much spent their whole life writing theses stories.
The story was a favorite of mine as a child. My understanding of the story has altered a lot since a was little .As a child I was always was exited to find in my imagination the gingerbread house covered in chocolate, marshmallows, jubes all the sweets you could think of , I would always pose the question “mum why can’t we have a house made out of lollies” .
Witches and trolls and dragons always fascinated me as they were s different to everyday life. Although I am now 15 I would still much rather see a fantasy film then an action movie.
Reading the story now was quite different and surprising for me. The story was written and told as a fairy tale but it is really an awful story with no cute animals or princess or knights in shining armor that we normally associate with fairy tales.
In preparing my creative response I decided not to rewrite the story by changing “the voice” of the story but to pull out of the story the social wrongs that I believe the story was portraying .If I had changed the “story teller” to another person I could not have discussed all of the social issues
There for my creative response was in the form of a newspaper in modern day time’s .I bought a copy of the Canberra times and posted my own stories and articles onto the newspaper.
I found this more difficult than I thought it would be as I tried to find newspaper texting and appropirae paper to make it look real but could not achieve this. The
