Reading Notes: Brothers Grimm, part B

Reading the second half of this unit I came upon a story that was strange and stood out to me. It was the story of the Traveling Musicians. One thing I love about this story is it shows teamwork between the most unlikely creatures. So one thing I would like to do is change the animals around some to make it even stranger that they would appear together. Another thing I would like to add is that all the robbers would come back to the house and the animals would have to band together to get rid of them once and for all. This would include some sacrifice that one animal would make for the others out of a new love and respect for them.

Reading Notes: Grimm stories, part A

I loved this section of reading and a story that stood out to me was the Fox and the Horse. It is quite different from the rest because it does not fall into the typical fairy tale story line that the other stories are falling under. A few changes I would love to make of this story is to make it more about love. I would like to make the farmer old and tiresome and can't fend for himself. The horse seeing his master struggling to provide for himself leaves abruptly to go and find food. The master gets very sad thinking his horse had left him, but when he comes back bringing food he is delighted with his dearest friend. I would like to have a new storyline when the horse is in the woods.
