Snow White- Creative Project

I chose Snow White because I enjoyed reading the fairy tale in Anne Sexton's Transformations. I like how she demonstrated how women typically are more easily dragged into things. We are sensitive and feel like we can trust anyone and everyone when in reality we cant. In my opinion, her version of snow white also demonstrates the traditional role of men; taking care/ protecting women and working. This was shown by the seven dwarfs.

Dare to Love
Eliana Osborn

The reason I chose this story was because the title itself grabbed my attention since my anotholy involves several love pieces. I enjoyed the short story because as I hope to someday start a family of my own, I have to realize that it is not a one day thing. Having a baby can have plethora of difficulties, God forbid, but a child can inhance diceases beacause they are new to everything. This mother seems to feel guilty for her baby's health problems. She feels as if she caused his asthma because of her struggles during her short pregnacy. Seeing a baby in these conditions is difficult  to live put one must surpass all obstacles to the best of their ability.

FULL MOON!

Oh Ms. Moon. Tonight, you shine so bright. As I watch you through my window while I lay in bed, i think of the positive things in life and all I have been through. Your blue halo stands out when I give you a blank stare. You, Madame, allow me to turn my favorite night light off--your natural light keeps me safe on cold and lonley nights. As i watch you here from land, others are watching Mr. Sun. I admire you for being able to watch over so many souls at once. Your lights aluminates those in the streets who suffer from lack of shelter. I am sure they also have thoughts similar to mine as they watch you. Oh Ms. Moon.
