The Language of Animals
- I thought it was super cool to be able to understand the language of animals
- Why did the father ask to have his son's heart removed due to that? That's so inhumane and sad
- What's even more sad is that the servants killed a poor little dog instead
- Also, what happened to the two daughters that the son promised to marry in a year and three days? The story never mentioned those later
An Incident in Rome
- I was a little confused about this story, although it was super interesting and mysterious to read
- Pilate sounds very mysterious and it's actually kind of scary that he can never take his eyes off the paper
- What does it mean when the story says he is neither saved nor damned?
The Cat and the Mouse
- I thought this was an amusing story
- If I were to rewrite it, I would change up the different objects in the story and give more reason as to why they were giving up certain things
- I thought the last line was funny because the King just went on about his daily life
Buchettino
- I like the aspects of the little poems in the story
- Maybe I can try writing a little poem or writing my whole story in the form of a poem
- I've seen some of these written by people in this class and if I have the time to sit down and think about it, I may try to come up with one
The Three Goslings
- This is a different version of the Big Bad Wolf story
- I could rewrite this in a different way and instead of houses, have something else that the Wolf took away from the first two characters but got stuck on and outsmarted by the third
