Aladdin's Magical Whole New World: And Its' Relation To Candide.


Today’s assignment is to link whatever we write to a youtube video, so I did!
In Candide we see people who are dead and later appear alive a forbidden love due to lack of royal relatives, a bad dude! It is like a whole new world. Candide kills Cunegonde’s brother and he escapes to a new world where monkeys are women’s lovers, Cacambo helps him and does miracles for Candide. This story is just like Aladdin, Cacambo is Candide’s genie, and Aladdin is supposedly dead but appears alive to share his love with jasmine. I am guessing that that is what is going to happen with Cunegonde and Candide. Cunegonde is royalty like Jasmine, Candide and Aladdin are poor and no royal relatives, they both pretend to be something they are not and they both kill someone Aladdin kills Jaffar and well Candide kills allot of people. The magic carpet can be the old woman who takes them to place-to-place and makes love happen between them. Jaffar can also represent the Bulgars, the Jesuits and all the bad persons in the book. And Candide has a sword just like Aladdin does. It is perfect and weird how to a children’s book can relate to An adult’s comedy.
