As children, we read the story, for various reasons such as,
have quality time alone with parents, to start learning to read, to expand our capabilities to display and find the world beyond-our-world.
Beyond that, we must also consider the type of story that tells us – after all, the story of the children have a very particular of the type that will be made with a very specific purpose in mind. Given this view, perhaps the most important reason to read stories to children – unlike, for example, magazine articles or an instruction manual – is that by this means, has taught us two important how they are Rather, they are morality, and us with a construction (also known as archetypes).
Character through the narrative is not a new concept. Girls and boys have learned the basic concepts of good and evil through the stories they’ve said for a long time. Tales of warning, like “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Boy Who Cried Wolf does not hide the fact that they intended to give the public the opportunity to learn to replace, respectively, to prevent s’ associated with bad people and lies.
The moral sentiment expressed repeatedly in illustrated stories for children 18 20 19 century and the beginning of the content is more subtle but no less important in the behavior of girls and boys with the consequences of their number. That story is “Rosebud” is collected by the Brothers Grimm – known in modern times as “Sleeping Beauty” – that communicate that every girl has a good prince “no” waiting to find and rescue her.
“Cinderella” – a very popular story accessible to the masses crazy in 1950 when Disney made an animated film – also echo this sentiment and was told repeatedly in different versions of the centuries. The first example is known to have been dated to the 1st century BC in ancient Greece. A more modern version of this story, however, emerged from the three traditions, the first written by Giambattista Basile in 1634 as the “Cinderella story” in “The history of these Pentamerone.” More than half a century later, Charles Perrault to write the important variations to come, ‘Cinderella’ in 1697. Later, the brothers Grimm collected the final version of modernity, “Aschenbrödel ‘in the 19th century.
All versions share a common element of a beautiful girl (main character), stepmother and stepsisters step, magical events, lost a shoe, and hunting by the king to the owner of a shoe lost. Interestingly, the German variant horrible introduced some elements that replaced the godmother of a magic tree that emerged from the tomb of the mother and sisters Aschenbrödel try to fool the prince by cutting parts of their feet that the shoes fit and Prince are vigilant fraud by birds birds peck the eyes with a step brother to end his life as a blind beggar. In the Grimm tale, the prince has been described as less naive and heroic, and, by contrast, seems to be higher Aschenbrödel state with both a strong will and determination. This story seems to have an unwavering commitment it would be difficult to ignore the desired effect on the listener, that girls are oppressed have to work hard to love and then they are also found and married a man and very loving (except in Germany , where girls may be too strong).
Of course, children are taught no less ambiguous. In history, men, but not the central character, however, learned to play a hero for girls. There are several stories that cast men as main characters. Stories like “courageous step”, a tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, which is designed to teach the audience that the exponent in the world or the adventure has to do with his intelligence as a guide.
This concept is also confirmed in “Jack the Giant Killer, in which Jack, the son of a farmer is just that – a” disorder studied with a great intellect “and the defeat of the giant chain through his own good luck and the ability to win big prizes, including public recognition of his greatness and marriage – went to live happily ever after Once again, the subtext of women no less clear that the message is set. for children, namely : the adventure is the domain of children are intelligent, and households that good girl.
