esop’s Fables
Introduction:
Aesop’s fables are known throughout the literary world. I can say that I know as much as the next person about fables. They have a universal theme, relatable characters, and an easy to follow storyline, but I only know that much. I never really knew the origin or basic history of fables.

So now I know more about fables and the similarities and differences between the original fable and the movie version of it. Now that I can relate to my childhood, I had to relate to someone else’s. I interviewed my mom to get her opinion and view on fables and to help her reminisce about her childhood. It was incredibly enjoyable, but that fun soon ended as I had to write an actual paper.
