The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch

Book Description 

The Paper Bag Princess is a feminist fairly tale which tells how a brave and intelligent princess saves her prince. However, the prince judges her appearance and dress afterwards. She is disappointed how the prince treats her without respect and appreciation, and she decides not to marry such a fool.

Evaluation 

I agree with this princess that she leaves the prince, even though she loves him so much. The princess rescues her lover from the dragon no matter how dangerous it is, which she might die for him. 

This fairy tale tells me that being a princess doesn't have to be Cinderella or Snow White, who wait for some handsome princes to save their lives. There is no big deal to take care of a man as men and women are equal. We should develop a correct mind set, which men and women are supportive to each other in their lives. 

Women allow men to help while men accept women's offers. We are not living in ancient age when men were dominant or on top of women' sheads. There is no such thing in my world. 

We respect and love each other. If I get hurt by someone, I would leave and move on silently.  It is my moral my attitude, my value and my life.

Good night. XXOO
