Assignment # 5 - Fantasy
This high fantasy book is a spectacular twist
on the fairy tale we know as Rapunzel. The characters are the ones you know,
Rapunzel and Jack (from the beanstalk) joins her to add to the twist and bring
about a little more adventure. The graphic novel style lends to the adventure
that these two go on trying to make things right and conquer evil. Rapunzel with her amazing hair comes to the
rescue on many occasions but except in this tale Mother Gothel is
the one who cuts off Rapunzel’s precious and powerful hair. But as in most fairy tales everyone lives
happily ever after and Jack and Rapunzel get the goose and the golden egg.
