Displaced Fairy Tales

After two days of my classmates reading their short stories that are fashioned after a fairy tale of their choice, I have laughed and I have sometimes been a little appalled by the connections. Most of the stories read are of fiction, but a few of my classmates have used historic events and tied them to fairy tales.
