Question

Is this "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves"?

rockinhood · Answer

If it is, here a quick explanation of how I feel about it. Ali Baba (or Aladdin) isn't the hero of this story because his name is in the title. The story revolves around him, like when he finds the thieves' den and riches beyond belief. But he doesn't actually do anything heroic. 
Later in the story the thieves are plotting to kill Ali Baba, but his servant girl, Morgiana finds out about the thieves and saves Ali Baba's life by killing the thieves. The leader finds out and plots AGAIN to kill Ali Baba, and again, Morgiana finds out and plunges a dagger in his chest, killing him. If I would have to say anyone were the hero or heroine in this story, it would definitely be Morgiana, since she saved Ali Baba's life at LEAST twice.

No Problem! Do you have any more questions?

holly_rachelle · Answer

No, not for right now. My English teacher gave me mercy tonight, but I will soon have to write a paper on "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. I've already read it, so I know how it ends, but if I do need help, you'll be the first person I'll ask. I don't get help all that often, so seeing a website dedicated to helping people is really nice.

That's what I thought about OpenStudy! So do you know how to give medals to the best response?

Uh, no. I became a member of this site a few days ago, I'm still working out the kinks.
