Reading Diary B: Middle Eastern and Indian Unit
Reading Diary B: Middle Eastern and Indian Unit
The
end of this story made me incredibly sad. The daughters did not want to
hurt the goose and knew better than their own mother. The goose was
simply trying to be helpful. And for the mother to say not to trust the
goose is ridiculous. The goose came out of his own will and never asked
for anything, not even in the beginning. There was nothing to trust or
distrust about the situation they were in. I dislike the mother's
character in this story, but truly love the goose.
I like this story because it's similar to the one I chose for my storybook! I like how stories can be similar across time and land, but be different at the same time. In both stories, I feel for the bird and think the other animal is a straight up jerk. But it is true; at least the bird didn't get eaten.
In this story, Brownie didn't learn very much. He didn't listen to his father's warning, and on top of that, he kept doing the things that were getting his herd killed. Beauty's character is much smarter in this story. I wish Brownie would have learned from his mistakes. Instead he just kept repeating them.
