There is always a rainbow after the rain. This quote means that after a hardship that we experienced, the good things will come to you. The context of this quote that we could use is when someone experiences a tragedy, we can use this quote to inspire him/her.

Hi professor and class!
We discussed some of our favorite books in class, but one of my favorite books when I was a kid was "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?' Excited to start the semester and this class.

I have read both Short Stories and I enjoyed the two of them. The Bridegroom told of a Miller's daughter about to be married to a man who is in a gang of Cannibals. She goes to his cabin and leaves a trail. She goes to their cabin and meets an old lady who hides her. When the group returns they have a girl drink wine before the kill her. They chop off her finger to get a ring, which rolls by the bride's hiding spot. They go for it but the old lady calls them for diner, which she drugged. The two escape and at the wedding the bride reveals she saw them in the act and they are arrested, tied and executed. I thought it was a nice story and to be carful. Of who you should trust.
Molly Whuppie tells of the girls who were abandoned by their parents and find a house with a giant and his wife. That night the giant ties rope around the necks of Molly and her sisters and gold around his own daughters. Molly swithes the rope for the gold between them all and the giant unknowingly takes his daughters and clubs them to death. Molly and her users escape and find a king and tell him their story. He sends Molly back three times for the Giants sword, coin purse and ring. Each Tim she succeeded the king married one of Molly's sisters and herself to his sons. On the third time she was caught and shoved in a sack with a cat, dog, needle, thread and shears. She tricked the Giants wife into the sack and he clubbed her to death. When Molly returned she we'd the king's youngest son. I think Molly was determined to keep her and her sisters safe at any cost and that she should do anything for them.

My favorite childhood book would have to be"there was an old lady who swallowed a fly" because it overwhelmed me how one could swallow animals to capture other animals/insects inside her stomach.

Hi everyone, one of my favorite books growing up was the "The Magic Tree House". I loved "The Magic Treehouse" because each book contained different dangerous adventures that the children would encounter making me wish I was one of the characters in the book because of how courageous they were.

I read the introduction to what fairly tales mean to children and I thought it was nice. I noticed that the author was stating that children shape their personalities based on stories and I am not sure what that means. I also thought that children do see the world as full of magic and that adults force them to see things min a more realistic light as they age, that some rarely hold onto what children's stories have done for their imagination when they were younger. The author also stated that children know that they are mortal. Which makes me wonder when is a good age to explain to children about death.

In the story Unanana and the Elephant, tells the story of a mother who has to rescue her children from an elephant who ate them. She does this by tricking the elephant into swallowing her up so she can find her children inside the elephant’s stomach and cut them out. Before she goes to look for her children, she prepares a meal for them because she knew they would be hungry. Once she gets inside she feeds them and uses the elephants meat to feed all of the other animals inside. Unanana is considered a hero for doing this. She has a lot of courage to save her children by being swallowed by the elephant. Two themes throughout the story would be death and rebirth. Once she was swallowed by the elephant would symbolize her death and when the make it out of the elephants belly, that would be the rebirth. In the story we see how a mothers love for her children would go to the extremes of being eaten by an elephant to save her children.
