The first apparant theme in Rapunzel is that forbidden temptations may cost you something you truly love. In the beginning of the story, Rapunzel's mother was "standing by [the] window and looking down into the garden, when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion, and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it" (1). This already shows bad temptation, considering that the rampion is not hers, therefore she shouldn't take it without asking. She asked her husband to get her some, going as far as saying "if I can't eat some of the rampion . . . I shall die" (1). The husband complied, although he knows it is a wrong thing to do, shown when he thinks to himself, "bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost what it will" (1).
1) critical thinking is deep thinking that involves forming complex ideas, not just basic ones. it allows you to dive into the topic and think about it more in depth, which is important, as it allows your brain to expand new ideas and think more outside of the box, rather than just thinking about what is right in front of you.
2) i think the information found on the internet, depending on what it is at times, is very helpful and useful. for example, when researching about a certain topic, the internet can provide you with great outside resources that you may not find somewhere else, and especially not as fast as you’d be able to on the internet. while it can have skeptical sites, there are very good ones out there, if you just know the right place to look for it.
Those who do their best and always work hard will prosper.
Those who are lazy and have others do their work for them will suffer in the long run.
Prepare! Plan ahead! Rest <u>after</u> the work is done.
Hope that helps!!
When you deal with the obstacles in present time, you would not have to deal with them in the future.
