Paragraphs:

1. Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel are very similar. Both of these books begin with once upon a time and both ended with a happy ending. Both books had clearly stated good and evil people going against the good. Both books were make believe because they both had magic and a candy house in the middle of the forest. Both books had a problem, Cinderella's was three things: 1- The Prince needed to find the right girl, 2- Cinderella needed a way to the ball, and 3- The evil Stepmother and the Stepsisters were all mean to Cinderella. The problem in Hansel and Gretel was the family was poor and couldn't feed them all, so they got rid of the children and then a witch found them and they needed to escape from the witch so she didn't eat them. Both stories had because some sort of magical being, the one in Cinderella was the fairy god mother, and the one in Hansel and Gretel, was the witch.

2. In Cinderella, there was a lesson but there was not in Hansel and Gretel. The lesson in Cinderella was that you should never give up. There is no royalty in Hansel and Gretel stated anywhere. There was in Cinderella. The setting for Cinderella was enchanted because it had a castle, prince, and magic. In Hansel and Gretel, it was not enchanted. In Cinderella it took three tries in the house to put on the shoe, but in Hansel and Gretel, nothing took three, six, or seven times to complete something.

3. The author probably chose to use these elements in the story to do three things, pull you in, kids love it, and it adds a little surprise to the story. When the authors wrote the book, they were thinking of the readers, not themselves and what they like. The elements add fun, joy, mystery, and creativity to the story. If the story didn't have these elements, it wouldn't be fascinating. Most of the parts of the story wouldn't have been cool, they would have been lame and boring and people would have stopped reading and moved on (like the kids). I would have written it the same way because it would have made readers love it. The way he wrote makes people laugh and smile when their reading. People really love interesting!
