I chose the Brothers’ Grimm Unit for my reading this week. I
thought it might help me figure out who my next villain in my storybook should
be because I am having a hard time choosing.
The Fox and the Cat
Characters:
The Fox
The cat
The dogs
Setting: In the woods
The cat seems to have looked up to the fox until she meets
him and figures out his true colors. I think we can apply that scenario to
people in today’s world. The cat was able to be smarter than the fox and get
away from the enemy. I think that the moral of this story is something several
people have witnessed before; someone that is over confident and ends up
crashing and burning.
The Little Lamb and the Little Fish
Characters:
Stepmother
Brother
Sister
Cook
Peasant woman
The stepmother did not agree with the children’s happiness. After
all they had been through at least they had each other. Once they were separated
they were no longer happy. In this story the evil villain was clear to see, the
stepmother. The cook saved the life of the brother and sister by listening to
them when they would speak. I was happy to see that the brother and sister were
turned back into human form and lived happy afterward.
One thing I noticed is that these stories were more like the
ones at the beginning of the semester. They showed a moral and were not just
entertainment. That is something I liked to replicate in my own stories.
