Enough mindless chatter, it's time to discuss. Now, for my folktale, The Strange Tale of Doctor Dog, it can ONLY be a fairy tale. It fits all three criteria to be a fairy tale perfectly. First, Mr. Chien is a magical character. Second, There is a happy ending (there aren't any evil characters, though). Finally, this folktale is definitely a serious one (a girl gets kidnapped, a man is lonely for decades, etc.).
At first, I thought this would be a Noodlehead Folktale tale, for bad things happen to one of the main characters (Honeysuckle, of course) over and over again. At the end of the story, Honeysuckle is cured, and she lives happily with her kidnapper (That doesn't sound right, does it?). Finally, the folktale could be considered very funny. However, all of the constant mistakes in the story aren't made by any of the main characters...rather, they are from fate. Also, all of the corrections made aren't by any of the main characters, either. So, this is why my tale can't possibly be a Noodlehead one.
Now, the fairy tale theme is important to my story due to the fact that I'm trying to teach a moral lesson (this can also be done with a Noodlehead Folktale, I guess...) to others. I'm trying to teach the lesson of how to always have hope (and faith. They're about the same thing, really), even when situations are bad, so that eventually good will come out of them. For example, in the story one of the main characters gets kidnapped, and her father hopes she will return (she eventually does...). Another lesson I'm teaching is based on the concept of love. The father in this fairy tale loves his daughter so much, that when she gets sick, he tries everything (literally, EVERYTHING) he can to make her better. Also, he weeps at the thought of her dying.
These are the morals in my story, written in Chinese.
Time to end this blog. So, in conclusion, my folktale is a fairy tale based on the fact that it is a very serious one, and for the fact that the magic and love within the tale is enough for everyone of all ages to enjoy! When I am done, you will have fun reading my tale, and learn life lessons while doing it =D
Have a nice day =D
I like how discussed reasons why it was a fairy tale, but also reasons why it couldn't be the other types of folk tales. I think this is a very detailed blog, which I say all the time :) I enjoyed reading this... Good job!
