Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Re-Written

Author's Note: I am writing a twist to the story of Snow White. Instead of the girl eating the apple falling unconscious, she refuses the apple and doesn't get poisoned. This is going to be based off of Disney's movie "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."


As most people know, Snow White is the pretty girl who hides in a forest to live in a cottage with seven dwarfs. She is running away from her wicked step-mother who is trying to kill her. Her evil step-mother comes to the cottage, disguised as a helpless old lady, and offers her a poisoned apple, but, of course, Snow White doesn't know that it's poisoned. She takes a bite and is immediately unconscious. The seven dwarfs lived in the cottage too, but they weren't there to witness what had happened because they were out working in the mine. I am writing my own version to the scene where the evil stepmother tries to bribe Snow White into eating the apple, but in my version, Snow White refuses to eat it.

"Just take a bite!" The old lady said.
"No!" Snow White refused stubbornly.
"Come on, it's really good!" Stubborn teenagers these days. she thought.
"Nope. I'll only eat it if you take a bite first."
The old lady hesitated. "Uh....OK, sure!" The poison doesn't affect someone for a few hours, I should probably be safe. She took a small nibble from the apple, and waited a few seconds for extra drama. "See, I'm fine!"
"No, you probably poisoned that thing. That's such an old trick. I'm not gonna eat it, no matter what you say!" Snow White slammed the door in the old lady's face. Then she opened the door again. "Don't come back! If you do, I'll call... The FBI!" She added. Then she slammed the door again. "Man, that lady was weird." She said to herself.

A few hours later, the dwarfs came home. Immediately, Snow White told them about the weird lady at the door who was trying to give her an apple. "She was so persistent!" She told them.
"Wow, that is weird." Sneezy commented.
"Yeah!" The other dwarfs agreed.
"She was probably one of those salespeople trying to sell their stupid products." Grumpy input. "I've seen plenty of those people around here lately."
"Yeah, I guess." Snow White agreed, even though she still thought that the lady was more important than a door-to-door salesperson. "But why would she offer me food?And why was the creep so persistent?"
"I don't know, but I think the apple was probably poisoned or something."
"Well I'm glad I didn't eat it. I'm gonna go text my friends about this, and see what they think about the whole situation." Snow White said to the dwarfs.
"OK. Let's just not open the door to a visitor unless it's someone we really know." Doc declared. "It's probably safer that way." Then he added more to himself, "I really need to call the health insurance company. I mean, why poison apples?"

Snow White decided to ignore whoever this weird old lady was, because if she did go find her, the lady might try to bribe her again. Nothing is more creepy than an old lady trying to give you an apple. She thought. Imagine what would happen if I did eat the apple!

The Hysterical History of the Trojan War Response

Author's Note: This is my two-paragraph response to the short play The Hysterical History of the Trojan War. It isn't COMPLETELY edited yet, but I will fix that soon.

In the short play "The Hysterical History of the Trojan War", the characters act like modern day teens. They talk sassy to each other while using cell phones and acting like the war wasn't such a serious objective. They also use alliterations to describe different types of objects that we see today. The person who wrote this play know how to captivate the audience by relating to things they would know about, such as modern-day commercials. The characters are introduced in the beginning, and most of them have sassy teenager attitudes which makes the play comical. The whole play is basically about how the Trojan War was started, along with describing important deaths and other events within the war. The ending of the play makes it clear how the war actually ended: with the Trojan Horse trick. All of the characters and events match the real objective, too. To which makes it less confusing for the people who want to understand the concept of the real meaning of the play.

It's good that they made those changes because if they didn't, it wouldn't be that interesting. The characters wouldn't say funny things that made people laugh. We don't live back then, so it's more interesting to the audience when the characters talk about things that they know about, instead of having them say things they would say in stories about Greek mythology. They don't use long or confusing words (except for the names of the people and the names of the place), which made it easier for the audience to understand. The person who wrote The Hysterical History of the Trojan War knows how to captivate the audience by relating to things they would know about, such as modern-day commercials. Without the changes, the plot, the personalities of the characters, and the important events withing the play would be harder to understand.
