The Gingerbread Man and the Gingerbread Boy

The "Gingerbread Man" and the "Gingerbread Boy" were two fairy tales which are quite different yet somewhat alike. They both were baked by an old lady, yet the purpose for making them were different. In the first story, the "Gingerbread Man" was made for the grandchildren. However, the "Gingerbread Boy" was made to be a son and the "Gingerbread Man" was made for the grand kids to eat him. The "Gingerbread Man" was made of brown sugar, with raisins and pink sugar. The "Gingerbread Boy" was made with icing, cloves and peppercorn. Also, in the chase in the stories was different. There were many animals who chased the Gingerbread Man in this story, however, in the Gingerbread Boy they all chased him at once. The fox in the Gingerbread Man wanted him to go to his house where his children could eat him. He ran away from the fox. In the Gingerbread Boy the fox pretended to help him across the river. In both stories there was an old woman and old man, a fox that tricked the gingerbread, and they both ran from animals. Both stories had happy endings and they returned home in both stories. Both stories were enjoyable and written in a poetry form.

Although the story '' Gift Of The Magi" , written by O.Henry, and the play version of "The Gift Of The Magi" are the same, there are some differences.

In both the play and the story Della cuts off her hair so she can get Jim, her husband, a gift. They both said the gift was going to be a watch chain. Also, Jim sells his watch so he can can get a present his wife, she was looking at brushes. The theme of both stories is "it is better to give than to receive".

In the play Della gets $20.00 and in the story she gets $200.00. In play Madame Sophronie was a guy who smoked cigars, on the other hand, in the story Madame Sophronie was a girl. In the play Della looked all over for a watch chain, but in the story she had picked it out all ready. In the play her neighbor told her about cutting her hair, yet, in the story there was no neighbor. In the play Della's hair was short and curly, however, in the story her hair was as short as a boy.

Drugs

I learned that I thought that you should not have drugs anymore. Drugs are bad for you and you can become addicted to them easy. They can ruin your life.

Junk the Ads?

I do not think junk food ads for kids and teens should be banned.
On reason I feel this way is because I get to get the junk-food from the store when I see things I might like to eat.
Another reason is I think people should have the chance to advertise their products to make their sales bigger.
I care about this subject because everyone should be able to make their own choices.
Not that you've read what I have to say about junk-food ads for kids and teens, I hope you'll agree that kids should see all of the new junk-foods out there so they can make their own choices in life.
