Assignment:

Could someone help me make my outline into a college-level five-paragraph essay?

Below the stories are linked as well as my bullet point outline.

The Handless Maiden
Little Snow White

Bullet point outline:

In both "Little Snow White" and "The Handless Maiden," physical beauty plays an important role in the story. In "Little Snow White," the evil queen is obsessed with being the most beautiful woman in the land, and she will go to any length to make sure that she is. In "The Handless Maiden," the maiden's hands are cut off by her father because he is afraid that she will be more beautiful than he is. In both stories, physical beauty is used as a way to control the characters.

Inner beauty is also important in both stories. In "Little Snow White," Snow White is able to overcome the evil queen's curse because she is a kind and good person. In "The Handless Maiden," the maiden is able to grow new hands because she is a good person. Inner beauty is what ultimately triumphs in both stories.

There are some similarities and differences in the role of physical and inner beauty in "Little Snow White" and "The Handless Maiden." In "Little Snow White," physical beauty is used as a way to control the characters, while in "The Handless Maiden," physical beauty is used as a way to control the characters. Inner beauty is what ultimately triumphs in both stories.

The role of physical and inner beauty in "Little Snow White" and "The Handless Maiden" says something about the culture from which the tales came. In both stories, physical beauty is highly valued, but it is inner beauty that is ultimately more important. This may be because the culture values inner beauty more than physical beauty.

We keep retelling the story of "Little Snow White" and "The Handless Maiden" because they teach us important lessons about the importance of inner beauty. These stories show us that no matter how hard someone tries to control us with physical beauty, it is our inner beauty that will ultimately triumph.
