Notes and Quiz

The concept of being 'set up' for life becomes threatening when the individual learns that he or she will most likely not have the same ambition for success, or personal achievement, that they once did. When one does not have to do labour, chances are, nothing will get done. 
As a young man, I know that with parents just around the corner, many obstacles that are present, I refuse to tackle. Yet when my parents are gone someday, I know I will be forced to take the initiative and finally do those things which are now of no interest to me. Necessity forces initiative. So long as there is a support system, it is much easier to just let "those more capable" take care of things...

Quiz 1

Everything depends on how the individual first interpreted the fairy-tale. If that individual appreciated the message within the tale, and they now read a counter message forced upon the same structure, they may come to resent this new message, or idea and eventually discard it; or even make an attempt to protest it. However, they have still read this new idea, it has added to their thoughts- whether voluntarily or involuntarily- and they have changed as a person. They now know of more than the original ideologies.  

This is; however, all depending on the individual actually having read the retelling, which is what I think a lot of authors tend to take for granted. All these precious ideas do not mean a thing unless someone else picks up the book and actually reads it. 

Or, perhaps they were just writing it for themselves...
