NOTE:
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOLKLORE
People often use folklore
to explain how the world was created, or how a lake or mountain came to be. We
also keep track of our history and our culture’s special heroes through
folklore.
Folklore can tell an endless
story like “The House That Jack Built.” Folklore can be a tall tale like
stories of Paul Bunyan or Mike Fink on the American Frontier. Many folklore
tales have a hero, like Hercules, who uses wisdom or strength to overcome great
challenges. Folklore can feature magical or supernatural creatures like
fairies, dragons, and ghosts.
Folktales from West Africa
and those of Native Americans might have a Trickster character, often an animal
that is small and smart, but greedy, too. This character stirs up trouble and
teaches lessons by tricking others.
Folk traditions are also
passed down from parents to their children through the years. These traditions
include folk dances, folk music, games, favorite recipes, rituals, and special
festivals.

WHAT MAKES A STORY A FAIRY TALE?
Fairy tales generally take
place in a far-off time and place. They typically begin, “Once upon a time.” In
the land of fairy tales, magical happenings are everyday occurrences. Bad kings
or queens, beautiful but ill-treated girls, and handsome princes are frequent
characters in fairy tales. So are poor young men ready for adventure.
A fairy tale often tells
the story of an individual. It takes into account the entire life of the hero
or heroine, but focuses on a single event such as marriage. Fairy tales
generally end happily. Goodness is rewarded, and evil is punished. The
traditional closing line of a fairy tale is, “and they lived happily ever
after.”
Certain basic plots occur
again and again in fairy tales, with some variations. Both “Beauty and the
Beast” and “The Frog Prince,” for example, tell the story of an animal that,
through love, turns into a handsome prince. Many fairy tales are about unhappy
people who eventually gain happiness, such as Snow White and Rapunzel.
Other popular stories,
like “The Little Mermaid” and “Pinocchio,” deal with magical transformations of
shape. “The Magic Carpet” and “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” relate unusual
adventures. Magical objects play key roles in “Jack and the Beanstalk” and
“Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.”
