People/readers are fin with the modification of the stories, because like Foster said "We-like the idea if a prince charming, or the healing power of tears." I know that sometimes when you're online on the subject of fairy tales, they is always a page that says "The Real Origins of..." or even "The Dark Truth behind..." I've actually opened the pages, and the stores have a lot of similarities to the fairy tales I know, which are the ones that have borrowed literature in them. The characters are all the same, they have major differences than the stories I've heard and know Foster uses Hansel and Gretel as an example. We know the story of Hansel and Gretel as "Hansel and Gretel," but it's original author titled it "The Gingerbread House," which was written in 1969. It's innovation of the story is similar to the story, but it's also very different/ Their names are different and the witch doesn't even kill the children. In the original story she kills doves, In a past chapter we have talked about how writers modernized Shakespeare, it not only happens with Shakespeare, it also happens with these kind of stories. Foster explains how the story doesn't have to be take place in a forest, it can happen in a city. Some authors do twist the stories, but like the example above some authors change the story to emphasize the fairy tale. "...fairy tales, like Shakespeare, the Bible, mythology and all other writing and telling, belong to the one big story..." Borrowed literature gives a sense of irony to the story. Sometimes we're okay with author's borrowing work, because we prefer the new story with borrowed information, than the original story. We as readers want novels to have differences and similarities which is another reason why we are okay with borrowed literature. We've already read one story over and over again, but what if we read the same story but with some changes?

Borrowed Literature "Hanseldee and Greteldum"
"Literature grows out of other literature." which is very true. Sometimes in literature writers "borrow" other writer's work, In some cases some of the most famous and well know pieces of literature had some borrowed literature in them. For example, some of the fairy tales that we have heard before in our childhood were created from borrowed literature. Disney's is one of the biggest that uses other stories to create their famous stories. Disney's original work Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island, Cat in the Hat along with others where first written by other. It's really not Disney's "original" work, since it did come and was based off of somebody's else work. The stories that Disney created all were based off borrowed literature. Disney borrowed another person's original story and from there made their famous fairy tale like Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. For example Snow White was Vladivostok to Valdosta abd Sleeping Beauty was Sligo to Salinas.
