Persian Tales
The Wolf and the Goat: I have a bit of an obsession with goats. Especially, baby goats. Because it is scientifically proven that baby animals are cuter than grown up ones. DUH. This story has very little to do with how cute goats are, but that okay. I do really like the how the goat and wolf's dialogue is in a poetic way, using short phrases in a very descriptive manner. The story is interesting in itself, but I was very distracted by the cute goat at the end. To prove my point here is a very cute video about a very cute goat.
The video about is form one of my favorite news sources, Vice. They just do a great job of further explaining how cute these animals are.
Susku and Mushu: I really liked the quick back and forth nature of the dialogue in this story. And, it was a lot less depressing than other stories I've read recently. Just like the last story this contained short little parables, which were detonated in italics. I thought this was really interesting.
Colleen, you are hilarious with your goat obsession! The goat video was a great addition to your reading diary post because it made me want to read what you had to say about The Wolf and the Goat story from the Persian Tales. I have never heard of the news source Vice, but now I will have to check it out! Have a great week.
