The second half of the Italian Popular Tales unit definitely took a turn.
The first few stories were definitely of a religious nature, compared to
the other stories that I had been reading.
An Incident in Rome
was a very interesting story. The story
itself was rather simple and basic, but I loved the way in which it was
written. I wish that I had read this
earlier in the semester as it would have been a lot of fun to incorporate into
my storybook.
Feast Day was
another simple story, but I loved the way it ended. It listed all the things that came unfast and
fell into the mouth of the next person, which ended with the reader, whom the
narrator called blockheads!
Most of these stories reminded me of Grimm fairytales in one
way or another. The themes were similar
and the writing styles were almost identical!
