Essay Topic 1
The story opens with a woman insisting two children are left on the the side of a road. Discuss the Stepmother's insistence to abandon the children in the forest. In what ways did it help? In what ways did it not help? Would you have done the same if you were in that situation?
Essay Topic 2
Hansel makes a friend, Halina, when he ventures into the village alone. When Heliina's aunt learns who he is, she forbids them from playing with each other. Would you do the same, if in the same position? Would barring them from playing keep either of them any safer? Explain why you believe she does this and support your reasons.
Essay Topic 3
Bread crumbs are dropped by Hansel to create a trail through the woods. They find a old "witch" living in a cabin in the woods. During Gretel's illness, she screams "Don't eat me! Don't fatten me up!" (119) to Magda, as Magda administers food and medicine. Finally, the boy and girl are hidden in the oven to not be found by the Germans. How do these all relate to the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel. Do you think the author used the references in an effective manner? Explain your answers, be sure to provide support.
