Reading Notes:The Wolf and the Goat, Reading A

Story source: Persian Tales, translated by D.L.R. Lorimer and E.O. Lorimer and illustrated by Hilda Roberts (1919). The Wolf and the Goat.


I really enjoyed this story. I think that there are many messages that could be taken from it. Firstly, all is not always as it seems, as we learn from the red paw of the wolf, and people aren't always who they claim to be. Also, this story served as a lesson for what can happen when you try to cheat someone out of what you owe them. Such as when the wolf gave the dentist a bag of wind instead of an actual gift. This is a reminder to treat all of those whom you do business with in a way that encourages respect. 

I think that I could use this type of story telling where it works in a message to the reader in the story about what is wrong and what is right. This makes the story more real to the reader and they will feel as though they gained new perspective from reading the story. I liked how the author combined narrative and dialogue seamlessly to provide a smooth flow to the story.

Week 3 Story: The Land of the Cyclopes

Cyclopes Shark Odyssey: The Land of the Cyclopes You probably believe that the Cyclopes look similar to humans, but are much bigger and have a third eye in the middle of their forehead. However, you are very wrong to think this. In Cyclopes Island east of the candy cane forest and north of the rock candy mountains, there are many species of cyclopes. There are bird cyclopes, with there 3 eyes and gigantic size. Most notable would be the cyclopes raven, blessed with the ability of 2nd sight, he is able to out maneuver large predators and have easy access to the island abundant food source of cyclopes mice. The most fearsome predator that lives on this island, is by far the Cyclopes Shark. This beast has only one eye in the middle of its pointy, brutish face. This monstrosity feeds on any that dare to venture out into Cyclopes Loch and its adjacent pools. The island flourishes year round as there is only one season.
