Reading Notes: Turkish Fairy Tales-Part 2

The Turkish fairytales are all very similar in theme.

They consist of someone being poor, working hard or gaining a skill, and then living happily ever after.

Happily every after usually comes with a beautiful wife and husband and also a lot of money.

They really strive to teach the value of honesty, hard work, and time. It instills that that is what it takes to be successful and have your dreams.

All of these are themes I could use in a story of my own. Incorporating the the fearless boy and a journey of hard work, until he reaches the end and realizes all his dreams.

I also like the use of wizards in the tales. It helps to add a more magical feel to the stories.
