Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Fairy tales are stories that are well known to all of us, mainly, their adaptations that present a less dark and more inspiring narrative, where happy endings are guaranteed.

My new stories have been inspired by elements of fairy tales, becoming modern fairy tales, an example of this is "Hope on High", where we can perceive elements like a girl in a bad situation, presence of magical creatures like witches, environments striking as a cemetery, the importance of fulfilling an order until midnight, among others.

This shows us that even though they are very old stories, fairy tales are still very influential and close to our reality, having the potential to attract a very large audience.
