Topic Research

I have chosen to focus on the topic of fairy tales with rags-to-riches.

Beauty and The Beast: Basque Legends
I chose this legend because it tells the story of the mistreated daughter who eventually married a serpent who turned into a handsome prince.

The Poor Turkey Girl
I chose this story because it is similar to Cinderella, starting with a poor girl who is never noticed. This was an interesting twist to the original Cinderella, because it involved the main character to be interacting with animals (turkeys). Through her hardworking and kind spirit, she was the queen of the ball, or so she thought. In the end she was just the same poor turkey girl as before.

Puss in Boots
I chose this story because it allows us to see a man go from rags-to-riches, which is a bit different than what we're used to seeing in many fairy tales rags-to-riches stories.
