Fables

        In the book Fables there are different fairy tale characters that play different parts in the characters lives to adjust the modern time. The big idea of the story this is fairy tale characters who adjust to our modern day life. For example the  fairy tale called Snow White and the seven Dwarfs. Snow white lives in a hut with seven little man and she is now  the mayor of the fairy tale city.She is dealing with many complains of how they are not happy and she has to be running everything. White is having issues with her ex- boyfriend and now she is dealing with the death or possibly kidnapping of her sister. This show that it is pretty tough to go from being a fairy tale character to start living in a modern world because in the fairy tales Snow White just sits in a tree with seven little dwarfs doing nothing but just telling them to stop being mad, sad, silly, clumsy  & etc.
         Another story fable character is wolf who also is trying to adjust to living in our modern war. Fables the character Wolf was kicked out of his fairy tale world along with the other characters. Wolf was hurt and mad because of what happened so he decide to become a detective. After becoming a detective, his anger lead him to become a mean person and start arresting other fairy tales characters without a reason. He has Snow White following him around everywhere. Snow is bossing wolf around and not letting him do his job. He has to dealing with it shows how he is adjusting to the real world, wolf is very inpatient and he would have ate Snow White because of her bossiness.  
        Another story in Fables that shows the character adjusting to the modern world is The Beauty and the Beast.In our modern war the beast is cursed and cannot talk properly. In this story the Beast is having issues with his wife and he wants to divorce her, but  cannot because he doesn't talk properly. Therefore Snow White can not under stand him which makes the divorce hard to happen.This shows that it is hard for the fairy tale character to live in a modern life because he can not speak properly and he cannot get divorced from his wife which makes his life miserable more then it already is because of his curse.
