Week 10 Story Lab: Storybook Research

Little Snow-White, version of 1812 (Germany, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm):
  • Queen attempted to kill Snow White first with strangling with corset, then with apple
  • Queen wanted to eat her lungs and liver
  • Snow White saved by prince when he knocked her in the back of the head to knock out piece of apple in throat
Joseph Jacobs in his Europa's Fairy Book (1916): Snowwhite.
  • Attempted to kill 3 times: comb, ribbon, then apple
  • wanted huntsman to bring back her heart
  • Queen committed suicide at end by jumping out of window
  • Piece of apple stuck in her throat came out on ride back to palace
This website also does a really good job of summing the differences up: https://geekgirlpenpals.com/disney-vs-grimm-origins-fairy-tales-snow-white/

In my introduction, I gave two teases about Snow White. One was about her stepmom being cannibal and the other was about the apple not being what actually poisoned her. So, I will use the Grimm version to highlight the cannibalism of the stepmom, but I think I will revise my introduction to say that the apple wasn't the only thing that poisoned her, then include the bodice/corset, comb, and ribbon. I will also add that the Queen committed suicide and that true love's kiss did not save Snow White.

Here are some potentially good images to add to my story:

Introduction to an Aspiring Dermatologist

Hello, everyone! I figured if y'all are going to be reading my blog posts all semester that I should probably tell you a little bit about myself.  Hi! My name is Libby Helm and I am from Dallas, Texas (for all my Dallas people--I grew up in Carrollton, now I live in Coppell). My declared major is Chemical Biosciences (Pre-Med) but I have been teetering between medical school and PA school. If I decide PA--which I *think* I am leaning towards--then I will switch to a Planned Program major, which will mirror Chemical Biosciences very closely. So, yes, my major is very complicated! However, the end goal is the same: to become a dermatologist. Here is a summed up version of why: As a child I had gotten acne long before any of my peers did, while moles and freckles covered my body, as they did my father's. Earlier diagnosed with Basal Cell Carcinoma, which turned into Melanoma, my father had to undergo surgery to remove the cancer. Between the premature acne and suspicious moles, my

Week 7 Story: The Real Story of the Lovers' Leap

  A long time ago lived a girl and a boy who were madly in love. But, like Romeo and Juliet, their families did not accept their love and forced them apart. This was due to the ancient family feud between the families (but that is another story). Of course, the lovers tried to sneak out and see each other, but they were always caught. They were miserable without each other! One day, they snuck out again and met in the woods. Just as they ran into each other's embrace, they heard shouting from not far away. They bolted together, trying to have a few more moments together. It was then that they decided to just wait patiently for the right moment. They stopped and kissed just as both fathers yanked them away. Days, months, and years went by as the lovers patiently waited for the right time to escape. It was on day 1982 that the girl's father thought she had forgotten about the boy. In celebration, he decided to throw a feast! He wanted to invite all of the other noble men in the t
