Jack and the Baked Beanstalk

Product Information

As we implied above, there is something immoral in the story’s essential message: steal from others to get yourself out of poverty, and you will triumph. The killing of the giant is self-defence, admittedly, but we can see why Victorians might have been a little queasy around the central thrust of the story. The United Kingdom's international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. It’s the giant who has the anagnorisis. If he stops focusing on his immense wealth, he can have the job he always wanted: working in a downtown cafe. NEW SITUATION

this post remind monkey of post apocalyptic novel what have name Not Even Light. chapter 14 start like this.

Astonishingly, this fractured fairytale turned out to be very engaging to read, although there is no real villain to behold - apart from the new overpass and the - anonymous - city administration that had it built.

What about the ideology in this book? This is no idealistic view of capitalism; it is a critique. The ‘little guy’ can easily get screwed over due to the machinations and schemings of people with far more money. This ‘flyover’ symbolises the way in which the super wealthy build their empires without a second thought to the little people, passing them over, so to speak. And in any narrative, the little people are the ‘ underdogs‘. We love stories starring underdogs.

There is also a non-human opponent in this tale — the unseen corporation who designed the overpass: Capitalism and progress at the expense of that specific kind of human-to-human interaction that occurs when a small restaurant cooks for its customers. This tale also has a very Michael Pollan view of food and cooking. PLANNormally in stories like these, the ‘giant’ stands for ‘the corporation’. Is that what the giant stands for here? If so, would the world really run better if these corporations suddenly quashed the structures they’ve worked to build?

There was plenty of laughter while reading this modern retelling of a classic fairytale, "'a beanstalk with cans of baked beans!,' how funny", said Bryn. As a story for older readers, this modern retelling would be good for discussing ideas such as industrialisation and its impact on small vendors, the problems with large fast food companies and a capitalist economy. In the summer of 2004 Colin was approached to illustrate a book called “Poison Diaries” for the Duchess of Northumberland. It proved to be wonderful opportunity for him to return to illustration.
