Excerpt of A Tale In Three Beginnings

Though this is only a short glimpse into the lives of the Owens girls, what you need to know is this: Jeremy Rollins is missing and may never be seen again. Perhaps this isn\u27t so strange, and perhaps his wife should have seen it coming; after all, the history of their abandonment has followed them since Jomar Ferrer left her grandmother some fifty years ago. In this excerpt, you are introduced to four very important beginnings in the story of the Owens girls

Under the Queen’s Throne: Analysis of \u3cem\u3eThe Lily of Life\u3c/em\u3e

This essay explores one of the older fairy tales that is not widely known by many people. The Lily of Life, published in 1913 and written by Queen Marie of Romania, touches on several topics that are still in effect in today’s society. The fairy tale is about a royal family with beautiful twin sisters and happily married queen and king; however, a brave young prince challenges the happiness. The adventure one of the sisters takes to save the prince reveals the hidden meanings, morals, and values of the story. The further research of author Seth Lerer has been applied to the analysis to connect to find similar contents in The Lily of Life and Puritanism. This also serves the purpose to discover further into Queen Marie’s psychology and the culture. The findings create another dimension of analysis by reading the magical fairy tales through realistic lenses

As well as offering the reader providential accounts of bereavement and of the prospect of reunion beyond the grave, Miller’s popular novel Siegwart (1776) establishes the sense of a virtual sympathetic community and offers the reader the cathartic opportunity to indulge grief, then distracts him/her from it with the aesthetic pleasures of the text. The negative reception of the sentimental novel by enlightened consolatory authors is ascribed to their distrust of the apparent ‘instability’ of fiction—its lack of ‘real’ referents
