Double Entry JournalTitle: “King Thrushbeard,” LOL, p. 811
Prompt: Give your opinion of the action in the story.
Quotes:
“She rejected one after another and to make matters worse, poked fun at them.”
p. 812, ¶ 1
“Wine barrel… tall and skinny,that’s a ninny…short and thick won’t do the trick…as pale as death…a turkey…green wood dried behind the stove…heaven’s above, chin like a thrush’s bill.”
P.812, ¶ 1 / Response:
This princess sounds way to judgmental.
I mean fatty, skinny, short, tall and whatever is a thrushbill?
I like how the father actually made her marry the next beggar. At the rate she was going, she would never have gotten married. All she did was complain and admire herself. What she got was what she deserved. She was rich and selfish and now she was poor and learning to be a little bit more generous.
At the end of the story, it was funny how Prince Thrushbeard actually turned out to have all the wonderful things that she had lost from being too unforgiving and picky.
