Sample Literature Essay : Novel Rumpelstiltskin

Following are sample essays made by my English Mentor at SMK Convent Greenlane ,Penang.

I am using her samples as reference in teaching my Form 2 students.

MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER
Based on the drama ‘RUMPLESTILTSKIN’ , my favourite character is RUMPLESTILTSKIN. I like him because he has  magical powers. He spins straw into gold for three times. He can also disappear in a puff of smoke when Lisa guesses his name correctly.
Another reason I like RUMPLESTILTSKIN is because he always keeps his promise. RUMPLESTILTSKIN promises Lisa that when Lisa wakes up next day she will see gold in the room instead of a heap of straw. Another evidence of RUMPLESTILTSKIN keeping his promise is he gave Lisa three days to guess his name. He gives Lisa exactly three days without cheating. Unfortunately his name is guess correctly.
The last but not least, I like RUMPLESTILTSKIN because he is helpful. Although RUMPLESTILTSKIN does not know who is Lisa but he still offers to help her. RUMPLESTILTSKIN also helps Lisa to spin straw into gold although he is insincere but he has saved Lisa from getting her head chop off by the king.

THE CHARACTER I DISLIKE
Based on the drama ‘RUMPLESTILTSKIN’ , the character that I dislike most is Lisa’s parents. Here are several reasons why I dislike them.
Firstly, Lisa’s parents are so proud and boastful. They believe that their daughter is the cleverest and lie to the king that Lisa could spins straw into gold.
Secondly, Lisa’s parents are hasty and thoughtless. They put their daughter in danger with their lie. They also taught Lisa to agree anything RUMPLESTILTSKIN demands which put their grandchild in danger.
Lastly, the reason I dislike Lisa’s parents is because they are cunning. Lisa’s parents follow RUMPLESTILTSKIN in secret to the woods. They heard him calling out his name. RUMPLESTILTSKIN which helps them solve the riddle.

OPINION ABOUT THE ENDING OF RUMPLESTILTSKIN
Based on the ‘RUMPLESTILTSKIN’ , I dislike the ending of the drama. Here are several reasons why I dislike the ending of RUMPLESTILTSKIN.
            Firstly, I dislike it because it did not tell us where RUMPLESTILTSKIN had gone to and will he come back for revenge after disappeaning in a puff of smoke.
Secondly, I dislike it because whenever someone did bad things , bad issues will befall on them. However, at the end of the drama. Lisa’s parents did not need to be responsible for their lies but lead a happy life.

Lastly, I dislike the ending of the drama because the king is a coward who did not come out and protect his wife and new-born child. The king let Lisa faced the problems on her own luckily Lisa is able to solve the riddle which has saved her first-born child.
