Week 3 Reading, continued: Aesop for Children



Reading Diary

Aesop for Children:
·       I think it is outstanding the way they use the quotes at the end of each story, I really, and I mean REALLY like this concept because it gives you a little bit more to chew on and think about. I believe it is crucial to give the reader something to take and apply to life, which they do an excellent job at doing.
·       The bear should not of taken out his complete anger out on the beehive because he let his temper get the best of him and it cost him more pain than getting any type of revenge. The story is saying that we should take our one bump and keep on going instead of trying to fight back and cause ourselves more pain.
·       The Wolf and the Shepherd is a short story detailing an account of the wolf misguiding the shepherd’s mind by always helping him, this lead to the shepherd forgetting how sinful the wolf could actually be. (This is something most people could relate to in real life, in which they ended up trusting someone to much just to be stabbed in the back.)
·       The Fighting Bulls and the Frog tells a story of being at the bottom, and when something bad happens, it is those at the bottom will suffer the most. This something we can all relate to, as in when a crisis happens in economy it is the people who are at the bottom it affects even more.
