Realistic fairy tales (part three)

 This is the third part of Realistic Fairy Tales project. You may wonder what this project is about. If you didn't read my other posts, I will quickly say that this is fairy tale characters with realistic traits that people can identify with. You might think you have a lot in common with a fairy tale character after reading stories. Okay let's continue with more characters and their traits.

Pinocchio 


This is one of those naughty boy stories from "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi. Pinocchio is a well known character. He's a living wooden puppet whose nose gets very long each time he tells fibs. The most understandable things about him is that he behaves like a normal child, although a bit different. If you think you identify with Pinocchio, he does often tell lies. He doesn't lie out of malice but because it seems easier. Lying comes naturally to him. He learns that it doesn't help, and makes things worse. He wishes to be normal. What he needs most of all is Honesty. 

Jack   


From "Jack and the Beanstalk" by Joseph Jacobs is a retelling of older versions of this very old English folklore character, named Jack. In this story, he sells a cow for magic beans, climbs a beanstalk and becomes a giant killer. If you can identify with Jack, you will share these following characteristics: He's trusting, and yet unafraid. He's adventurous although he's reckless, daring and acts on impulse. He feels that something larger than himself is coming after him. He flees danger, but should never have been put into danger in the first place. What Jack needs most of all is Awareness.
