Reading “Snow White” by the Brothers Grimm taught me a lot about fairy tales. It’s not just about teaching lessons, as some of them can be dark. For instance, the stepmother’s jealousy and egotism show how some fairy tales can be dark. She persists in harming Snow White due to her jealousy, reflecting an unkind and harmful behavior. Despite the danger she faced, Snow White remained strong and brave. She fought for herself and did not give up even when she was poisoned. In the end, she fought back and was saved. “Snow White” is not just about good versus bad. It shows how people can be complicated with lots of different emotions. As a result, the story becomes more interesting and helps readers understand deeper emotions in fairy tales.

In the last two weeks, I have been reading poems, one of which was Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” I was mainly drawn to this poem because of its beautiful imagery and the dreamy thinking of the speaker. The gentle description of the snowy woods and the repetition of the line “And miles to go before I sleep” struck a chord with me, making me reflect on my life’s journey and responsibilities. However, I have also come across some poems that have left me feeling confused. Some works, with their abstract or complex themes, challenge my ability to understand their actual meaning, leaving me with an awkward feeling towards poetry. I find some poems amusing, but most of the time some still confuse me.
