Ali Baba and Aladdin By: Evan Delcamp

Ali Baba and Aladdin have many differences and similarities. I’m comparing them because I want to see the similarities and differences between the two stories.

One similarity is that they both had bad guys. In Aladdin there was Jafar and in Ali Baba, there was the Chief Robber. They tied to kill and use Aladdin and Ali Baba.

Another similarity is that they both had magic. Aladdin had the magic lamp, Genie and the sphinx. Ali Baba had the cave.

Also, they’re both Arabian folktales. Ali Baba is actually a Persian folktale but it was spoken in Arabian.

Both became rich and successful when Aladdin married the princess and Ali Baba got all the riches in the cave.

One difference I found is that Aladdin had royalty like Princess Jasmine and the king. Ali Baba had no royalty.

Another difference is that Aladdin hade animals like the tiger and the monkey, Abu.

Also, Aladdin had no servant or family but Ali Baba had the Faithful Morgiana, his wife, brother, and his son.

Finally, Ali Baba and Morgiana stopped the thieves’ plans several times but Aladdin only stopped Jafar once by defeating him and the Genie poop+……………………………………………………….

These are the similarities and differences between Ali Baba and Aladdin. I see now why the stories are so different, yet the

same.poop
