Extra Reading Post: Brothers Grimm Unit

Hansel and Grethel

  • This Story takes up most of the Half unit which is fine because I had never read this story before
  • I Have to say it is a sad one in the beginning for the reasoning of the family being poor and not having food
  • I believe that father did not love his children because no other father would have acted that way
  • It gets me thinking of modern day fathers and how sometimes they can be just like the father of Hansel and Grethel. 
  • It was unlucky how Hansel had left bread crumbs on the path but then they were eaten by birds leaving them lost in the woods
  • After being lost in the woods they found a house made out of candy and bread
  • Little did they know it was a evil witches house who wanted to eat them
  • So in the end Grethel ended up killing the witch by trapping her in the oven
  • So they took the riches and went back to their fathers house and lived happily ever after
  • This is a happy ending but the start of it was pretty messed up on the fathers part to me
Hansel leaving bread crumbs behind.
