EDRG 3321 chapter 7 blog
Instead of doing the blog on chapter 7 I did the other assignment of looking up an old original fairytale. When I was researching online found a website with many of the old version of fairy tales. It is http://www.dbskeptic.com/2008/10/27/original-versions-of-classic-fairy-tales/. It listed several and what they were. The one I chose was The Original story of Sleeping Beauty. The story started off basically the same where Sleeping Beauty fall into a sleep for 100 years due to a evil fairy placing a curse on her when she prick her finger. The difference is the prince falls in lust with her and rapes her when she is sleeping and she becomes pregnant and then later gives birth to twins. While she is still sleeping the baby breast feeds themselves until one day the baby starting to suck on the mother's finger and then the baby sucks out the splinter and the spell in broken. Very much different from the one that is told this day and time. Quite interesting to me how in time how the story line and change so much.
