Reading Notes: Italian Popular Tales-Part B



I am continuing reading Italian Popular Tales by Thomas Crane. I really like these fairy tales!

The Language of Animals: I like that this is like a reverse gender role Snow White.

An Incident in Rome: I'm not sure about the carter and him turning to stone, but

The Story of Crivoliu: This was a strange story. I like that you can see the Roman Catholic influence. It makes the story interesting to read.

The Sexton's Nose: I'm not a fan of these "go get this, before I give you this" stories. They are kind of boring and don't seem to have much meaning.

The Cat and the Mouse: I already read this story. I think it was in a different unit, but it was the same story. I didn't really enjoy it. It was like the story above.

A Feast Day: I read a story similar to this one already. It is silly, and I don't completely understand the moral.

Buchettino: I like that the character is able to take care of himself! This was an interesting story.

The Three Goslings: Ryan Goslings? This is the story of the three little pigs! I always thought this story had a nice moral. It was nice to read again!

The Cock That Wished to Become Pope: That was a terrible ending! There was no moral other than don't have high aspirations because you'll get eaten. I did not like that.
