The Battle of Books

Sorry, long time, no post. My family shifted to to another house and the internet connection is gone. I'm using my dad's datacard right now to access the net.

I was reading Emmy's Cinderella yesterday. Cinderella itself is pretty soppy. I mean a beautiful, caring, sweet girl went to a ball and fell in love with a prince. And he married her because her feet were small? La di dah. Ho Hum.
But Emmy's Cinderella is acually very interesting. It's a complete comentatory about the story. I like the part where she writes about how sad Cindy was in the beginning and how happy in the end. I love the contrast of emotions. It's a battle between Once Upon a Time and Happily Ever After. Which one wins?
But in most horror stories it's the exact opposite. It's usually happy in the start and the pages flick, so does the mood. So horror and fairy tales have their own battles on the bookstore shelf.
The battle of books, huh?
Interesting.
There are so many more examples. The Encyclopedia about Animals, for example has a lot of praise about wolves. But if you read Little Red Riding Hood, wolves are not your best friends. Another fight.
After reading Frog and Toad, I begged my mom for a pet frog. But after going through The Princess and the Frog, I never wanted to see a frog again.
Funny how that works huh?
