Comparing the "Little red riding hood" and the" Paper bag princess tales".

Women's struggle for identity, unfortunately, often continues to be associated with beauty. Young children continue to learn, through reading fairy tales such as the sleeping beauty, Cinderella, and etc that prettiness often leads to success. These stories illustrate the theme of beauty as the key to happiness. Although the paper bag Princess portrays the princess as a stronger character, the issue of beauty is still a focus towards the end. It's so refreshing to find …

…that life doesn't always mean being happy. We can't expect happiness in every step in our life. Sometimes we have to face the reality. I wouldn't say little red riding hood cannot be read to children. Little red riding hood has the same message as many tales have, but the paper bag princess introduces totally a new theme. For all of these above reasons, I would recommend the paper bag princess to all young children.
