This document discusses common elements found in fairy tales. It notes that fairy tales typically begin with "Once upon a time" and end with "and they all lived happily ever after." They also generally involve goodness being rewarded, evil being punished, and settings like castles or cottages in the woods that include magic. Good characters are usually kind, loyal, and brave, while evil characters are jealous, spiteful, and powerful. The document provides an example of similes used to describe Snow White and explains how to write similes comparing a noun to another using adjectives and "like" or "as."
