Reading Notes: Part B Brothers Grimm (Ashliman)



The Fox and The Cat
- this found be an easy story to retell, just adjust the dialogue a bit and explain the scenery and the characters more
vulpes et feles
Steinhowel's Aesop
LINK
The Little Lamb and the Little Fish
-  this would be a super interesting story to tell using a little more imagery and more depth. There isa link of a photo to be used. LINK

Simeli Mountain
- tell this story as two brothers separated at birth, and then how come up with a plot as to how the reconvene.

Lazy Heinz
-  tell this story from the angle of the sheep. Provide insight to the original story through the narrative of the sheep.

The Duration of Life
- adapt this story so that all the animals and men and women in the kingdom came forth in a line to receive their duration of life, but one man never went forth, turned into a sheep, and because afraid to tell God of what he had done. This will seem lengthy, but try to keep it short and concise.

Death's Messengers
- I feel like this would in a way relate to the previous story, but make the messengers a search party looking for the sheep

Eve's Unequal Children
- not a fan of this story at all. It just doesn't provide any depth of interest to rewrite.

The Gift's of the Little People
- This story is LONG with details. I wouldn't suggest trying to rewrite it.

The Hare and the Hedgehog
- another long story, but worth considering. You will need to cut down on the dialogue and be more concise in your paragraphs in order to keep it under a 1000 words, all while still providing a descriptive experience for the audience to connect.

  1. Wow, you come up with ideas for a lot of stories! That's awesome. I can usually only think of 2-3 ideas (at most), even if I read like 12 stories. I also like how you write about stories you didn't particularly like, or didn't have interest in working into a story. I've never thought to do that with my reading notes, but I think it's a good idea.
