READING A:
This was such a cute, if morbid,
story. I love the name Medio Polito. It reminded me of Puss in Boots and The
Little Red Hen at the same time. I also like how it explained the appearance of
weather vanes. I also appreciate that there is a moral to the story and all the
small details fit together nicely.
This story was a bit strange for
me. I like the idea that the obedient daughter was rewarded but I don’t
understand how she was obedient. She ran away, perhaps saving her virginity,
but abandoned her sisters. She also stole from the King. When the king is remorseful
for striking off the doll/fake Maria’s head, she falls into his arms. It doesn’t
make much sense to me.
I like this story quite a bit. The villain
finally got his due and the curious wife won the day.
The idea of gems coming out of her
mouth with every word seems awkward. It’s symbolic in a way though. The
virtuous daughter’s words should be valued like gems while the unkind daughter
spews foul words/creatures.
This story is one of the reasons I
read this unit. I am looking for more inspiration for my sea monster
story. I like the idea of the streams of
precious metal. I think Jamie will find many treasures as he delves deeper into
the Kelpie’s cave but he should not take any of them.
The boy and his horse
This story reminds me of Hercules and
the hydra.
