Reading Diary A: Jewish Fairy Tales
This story was compelling to read. I enjoyed the writing style and how it carried from one idea to the next. However, it was extremely sad to read about Doggie. In the end, I wanted Father Adam to keep the dog and let Pussie leave because of how rude she was. Pussie was an awful friend and did not deserve what she was given. Doggie was faithful and kind, but got nothing in return.
I liked this story because of how David was saved. The deer was called to save him, and he was saved. To trust in God against an animal that would surely kill you and be extremely dangerous is a great feat. David was courageous and ready to fight and knew that he had God on his side, but instead God had a different plan for him. I also like that it is the story behind one of his Psalms.
I really enjoyed this story because of the ending. The King (who began as an ungrateful, awful ruler) became kind and noble. He earned his spot as a ruler that the people deserved. He learned from his sin and helped those less fortunate. I enjoy stories with uplifting endings, and this one was definitely that. I liked the King's character development and the genie's willingness to give the throne back once he learned his lesson and became the ruler he needed to be.
