A father goes into a house and steals a rose, The beast is upset and tells him they shall exchange the rose for one of his daughters.the father keeps his promise but as the story unveils the daughter falls involve with the beast, and when he lets her leave the palace the beast turns ill and she returns and saves the beast with her power of love. This story varies just slightly from the traditional Beauty and the Beast. Beauty lives with her sisters and fathers instead of just the father. The father sets out to the city and stumbles upon the castle. There he sees a rose which his daughter had asked for. The beast catches him, and he would have to pay for his life for stealing. The beast lets the father visit home once more and this is when beauty decides she will go with him. She gives her life for her father’s freedom. The beast is kind to her and asks her to marry him even though she knew she was falling in love with him she declined. When her father become ill she could finally leave but was supposed to return after eight days. After the guilt over took her thoughts she returned on the tenth day to find the beast near death. When she tells the beast, she loves him he turns into a wonderful prince. A curse was put on him by an evil fairy until a woman loved him for himself. I believe that no matter how many varieties of this story there are they all teach the same lessons. Beauty is found within regardless of outward appearances. We must love people for who they are not what they look like! Beauty and the Beast has been one of my ultimate favorite stories since I was little, and this version did not disappoint. This adaptation of Beauty and the Beast was very impressive because it stuck to the original fairytale version of the story, rather than the sugar-coated Disney version. The book itself stuck true to the original tale in the sense that Beauty had sisters and did not live alone with her father, and also that Beast proposed to Beauty every night in hope that she will one day marry him. The only difference in this story and the original is that the setting of the story is in West Africa, presenting the characters as beautiful African women dressed in traditional African attire. The illustrations were so colorful and absolutely stunning, and is a wonderful inspiration to children. I loved that this adaptation did not sugar coat the story like Disney does, but sticks to the original masterpiece. The only version of Beauty and the Beast that I've ever seen or heard of was the Disney movie version. Based on that, this version of Beauty and the Beast was an interesting rendition. In this version, Beauty's family is much bigger although we still don't see a mother. There is no talking household appliances and decorations, but invisible things instead. When the Beast turns back into a human, that scene isn't as extravagant as the movie. The author decided to keep the symbol of the rose in this story, although it isn't portrayed in the same way. The story is told from Beauty's point of view. We don't get very much dialogue from the Beast, but we do understand that, by the end, he had to get someone to fall in love with him for him to turn back, Thats why he was so persistent to get Beauty to marry him. This book would be good to introduce a class with majority minority students so that the lack of representation in books can be addressed. I really enjoyed this version. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
