The Story of snow white and the seven dwarfs


Snow White is one of the most representative stories among the classical tales. It has received multiple adaptations specially in the cinema, where actresses like Julia Roberts participating like one of the characters of this story.
Is the story of pretty princes called Snow White, who was as beautiful as a flower. The princes had n evil stepmother who was beautiful too, but she was very jealous with her , for the reason that this evil woman always carry a magic mirror and asked this question to him : "mirror mirror in this world, who is the fairest one of all? And the glass always replay " you, oh queen, are the fairest on of all.".
When the queen listened this answer, she used to be happy, because her mirror never failed to say the truth until snow white grown. The princes were prettier every time, and While the evil queen asked the question to the mirror, the same answered: "Oh queen, you are fair, is true, But Snow White is fairer now than you."
The queen was surprised, but at the same time angry because there was somebody prettier than her. On a terrible rage, the malicious woman decided to kill the girl, and called a hunter to do this macabre work, who had to bring the girl's hard. The man never killed the innocent young, and when he returned to the castle, had in his power an animal's hard which was deliver to the queen .
The queen continued replay the same question to the mirror, but the same continued to say that Snow White was more beautiful than her. The queen on an exasperate attitude decided to kill the princes again, but by herself. While the girl alone and tired in the woods, found a small house where lived seven dwarfs who welcomed her, while the terrible queen was planning her murder.
Now, on three opportunities face to face the queen tried to deceive the ingenious Snow White, when the small men were worked in the mountains. in the ultimate opportunity, the queen poisoned an apple and as an old woman , deceived again the young girl whit attractive words about the poisoned apple until the young finally was tainted . when the dwarfs came back home, saw the pretty girl on the floor, declaring her died. Snow White never died, but the poison's effect caused a long dream in herself, until a prince kisses her to disappear that spell.
When a prince arrived to the place where Snow White was sleeping, the same immediately felling love. Snow White got up, and booth, (prince and princess) married living happy forever.
From my point of view, I choose this tale because I could remember when I was a child, and when I used to watch the Grimm brothers' tales on TV. When I read again this wonderful story, I tried to recreate it in my mind. However, this kind of stories sometimes with several versions,, magic enters in our hard, and try to remember us fantasy of infancy.

Multiculturalism




Multiculturalism is an important aspect that invites us to think about how equal or different we can be . It also helps us to learn and respect others because their points of view are as valuables as ours.
Multiculturalism l is a learning approach that likes me .Includes minorities, which could not be heard in another social contexts. It view enable us to recover our historical heritage and make boundaries with our past and our ancestors too. Cultural heritage has been an essential part for the humanity because it has depicted several communities around the history. Indeed, the same lets us to distinguish our origins like civilized community.
Focused on Colombian case, multiculturalism should be the main characteristic of our country way of think. We have diverse regions with different dialects, gastronomy, topography, folklore and languages ,all of them are worthy and important aspects of our definition as Colombian like .
