The Story of the Three Bears Essays

"Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and the older "The Story of the Three Bears" are two variations of an old fairy tale. The original tale tells of an ugly, old woman who enters the forest home of three bachelor bears whilst they are away.

He has passed on the responsibilities of the household to his 14 year old daughter, Mary Call. The story continues with the children trying to keep their father’s death

Goldilocks and the Four Luthers It would be most odd for there to be a comparison between a professionally written book and a fictional fairytale. Incidentally, that is exactly what occurs between the stories of “Where The Lilies Bloom”, by Vera and Bill Cleaver, and “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. In the book, “Where the Lilies Bloom”, a young girl named Mary Call Luther and her siblings, Romey, Ima Dean, and Devola Luther, struggle to support themselves through a harsh winter while striving to
