The Golden Bracelet

The Golden Bracelet


Fairy tale that was collected by Marie Campbell. It talks about how a girl who has lose her mother and being torture by her step mother and later married a prince. Typical story line found in fairy tale but still has it learning value. 

The story always give us the value that we can conquer fear. No matter how a miserable your life is, there is always chances for you to success as long as you work hard. With that you can leave you miserable life and live happily ever after. even with an ugly appearance, there is also a chances for you to get attention, get known and get to be respect. like the protagonist Morgana where she was transform into her ugly stepsister appearance but was still able to get the prince attention after Gwen ( Morgana step-sister) stole her golden bracelet.

The King of Spain was manage to figure out Gwen was not his true love but bound to his word and married her. But was later get rid of Gwen after he learn the truth and married Morgana. This has show to me that as long as a person have a good heart, people will tend to notice it through time and you will eventually being respected even though your appearance are not as attractive as others. I also learn that if a person is greedy, you will eventually be punished by your own action. 

Fairy tale maybe something only a children will watch but somehow it determined a lot thing in one future, we learn what right and wrong through them and we learn what is good and bad from it. It also teaches us what ever we do will determined what we get. When someone do something good, you will be thank and in future might be your biggest success. 

Evil thing we learn from the fairy tale tends to make our life looks less hard and make us see our life in a more childish or cartoon ways. Like the story of red riding hood, The wolf eaten the grandma and pretend to her so he can eat little red riding hood. If this was in reality, this will become a very gore and violent massage and might even cause disturbance. But in a fairy tale, we tend to think it was just a story and will become less offended from it. 

How hard can our life be compare to a girl who lose her grandma and almost herself as well and also what is so hard about it when you find out your face was swap and you will become an ugly person loses your love ones.
