It has the basic fairytale elements (the good protagonist, a journey, etc.) but also goes further and makes the protagonist a more rounded character. He's not just good but thoughtful as well. It's interesting that instead of discovering something new about the world around him that he rediscovers what is good about the world around, almost as if he's seen the world with new eyes.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955151663214503856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442974237055976527.post-45580640003292112222010-04-15T18:10:09.773-05:002010-04-15T18:10:09.773-05:00It sounds like this was an interesting story.

His "journey" does not consist of finding something material or solving a problem, per say. But he gains insight into the ways of the world.<br />I also think you brought up an important point about goodness and thoughtfulness. This seems to set him apart as a fairy tale character because his qualities are not assumed by his "goodness," but are pointed out as additional or "higher" goodness.Katie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394037774957471219noreply@blogger.com
