This is book is about to contain the best topic you've ever read. I will be taking up the task of putting out Charles Perrault's Stories published in 1697 such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty In The Woods and comparing them to the Disney Movie Car...
Trigger warning this is one of the grossiest two stories every told.
When she told them what happened, they said, "But the old pedlar woman was the was the wick queen, who would do anything to be rid of you. Be sure to take care and let no one in." As soon as the queen reached home she went to her glass and said; "Looking glass, looking glass, Who in the land is fairest of all?" And it answered as before: "Over the hills where seven dwarfs dwell Snow White is there, alive and well, And none is so fair as she." When she heard this the queen was struck with fear, for she knew Snow White had not been killed. The queen had some knowledge of witchcraft and decided to make a poison comb. She hid it with several others and then disguised herself, taking the shape of a different old woman. She set off across the seven hills to the house of the seven dwarfs and knocked upon the door. "Good things to sell! Good things to sell!" she cried. Snow White looked out the window and said, "Go away, please. I dare not let anyone in." "But you must only look," said the old woman and she held out the poison comb for Snow White to see. It was such a pretty comb, so delicate and fine, that the girl let herself be persuaded to open the door. "Now, child, I shall comb your hair properly," said the old woman and she ran the comb through Snow White's ebony hair. At once the poison took affect and Snow White swooned to the floor: "That will be an end to you," said the woman and she went away.

Affect is used to describe a start of a changing effect, but an effect is stating the final result that shows itself. This is what science classes have also taught us. Our world is affected into effects because every action has an equal and opposite reaction. With this science logic you can't go wrong in your writing common sense, Skylights.) But it was nearly evening and soon the dwarfs came home. When they saw Snow White lying as if she were dead, they suspected the queen and searched until they found the poisoned comb. Scarcely had they taken it from her head when Snow White awoke and told them what had happened. Then they warned her once again to take care and to open the door to no one. The queen, at home, went to her looking glass and said: "Looking glass, looking glass, on the wall, Who in the land is the fairest of all?" Then it answered again: "Over the hills where the seven dwarfs dwell Snow White is there, alive and well, And none is so fair as she." When the queen heard the glass say this, she trembled and shook with rage. "Snow White must die," she cried, "even if it costs me my life!" She went into a secret room high at the top of the palace where no one ever came, and there she made a poisonous apple. The shape was perfect and the outside shone red and white. It was so tempting anyone who saw it must long for it, but whoever ate a piece would surely die. The queen dressed herself as a peasant's wife and painted her face. Then she went over the seven hills to the seven dwarfs' house and knocked upon the door. At once Snow White looked out the window and said: "I dare not let anyone in. The seven dwarfs have told me not to." "I shall stay outside then," said the peasant woman. "Only taste one of my apples. They are so fresh and sweet." "No, I dare not take it," said Snow White. "What? Are you afraid of poison, silly child? See, I will cut the apple in two. You shall have the red part and I will take the white." The apple was so cleverly made that only the red part was poisoned, but when Snow White saw that the peasant woman was unharmed, she could resist no longer and held out her hand for the fruit. The moment she bit into it, she fell dead upon the ground. The apple's poison had done it's work. "White as snow, red as blood, black as ebony,!" the queen cried. "This time nothing can save you!" When she went home she said to her looking glass: "Looking glass, looking glass, on the wall, Who in the land is fairest of all?" It answered. "Thou, O Queen, are fairest in the land." And at last her envious heart was glad.
In the evening the dwarfs found Snow White lying on the ground, She did not breathe or move, and though they undid her apron ties and washed her face with wine and water, it was no use; the child was dead. So they laid her upon a bier and all seven watched and mourned her for three days' time. They were going to bury her, but her black hair shone and her cheeks were red and pretty as if she were still alive. "We cannot hide her in the dark ground." they said, "so they had a coffin made for her of transparent glass. They laid Snow White in it and in golden letters they wrote her name and that she was the daughter of a king. Then they put the coffin out upon the hill and took turns watching it, one at a time. And the birds came too and mourned Snow White; first an owl, then a raven, and at last a dove. Snow White lay there for a very long, long time in the coffin and she did not change, but looked as if she were only sleeping, for she was even now white as snow, red as blood, and black as ebony."
(So they do not tell us exactly how many years Snow White was sleeping in the coffin unlike how Disney makes it clear really quick. This counters what Briar Beauty insults Apple White with at Thronecoming which is obviously not true. Here it says it lasts a long long time. So possibly by the time the prince came upon the coffin the girl was already reaching adulthood through her deep slumber.) Then it happened that a king's son came into the forest and saw the coffin upon the hill and read the golden letters. (So he knows and we know it's not a random girl, so that contradiction should fly out the window.) Then he went to the dwarfs and said to them: "Give me the coffin, for I cannot live without Snow White. I will care for her coffin and keep her always as my own." The dwarfs would take no gold, but when they saw the that the king's son was suffering for his love of the girl, they had pity upon him and allowed his servants to carry the coffin off.
