Week 6 Extra Credit Reading Notes Part A: Twenty-Two Goblins

These stories interested me and intrigue me for sure. I was excited about the creepiness of the first couple stories. After about the first three stories, the stories that the Goblin told were a little less entertaining. I was less engaged to them then at the beginning. I enjoyed the stories about having to choose between the head of your brother or the head of your husband and with the bodies. I even asked people at work which option they would choose if they had to. If I were to rewrite this part of the story, I would make the other stories more interesting by adding a little more gore or strange events that people would not know how to choose from. The last story about the wives did not have a purpose that made sense to me. Unless part B has something that ties all of part A’s stories together, I am quite lost on the purpose of choosing from all the stories. Although I did agree with the majority of the decisions that the kind made.

I am looking forward to what is to come in part B. I hope that it gets more exciting and gives a purpose to all of these stories. I very much enjoyed the fact that he had to cut the dead body down from the tree before every story. It was creepy that the first time, the body laughed. I was intrigued. I would like to make this story a little more twisted.

  1. Your use of a picture from Labyrinth is wonderful. That is one of my favorite childhood movies and the reference made me smile, so thank you for that.

All the Assignments...

I am intrigued by the stories we get to write about. I love reading stories from different parts of the world. I am very excited for the extra credit and I know making time for the extra credit is difficult, but worth it. I love when a professor takes the time to set up their class in such a unique way. It really shows that they love what they do and I cannot be more appreciative. I am ready to give this class my full attention. Too Tired to Function

Reading Options

I would like to read stories that are popular, which I have not read yet. I like knowing the information when people use sayings or quotes from books or movies. Dante's Inferno Inferno This is a story I have wanted to read for a while now, not just because it is a video game. I am not sure what the story is about and I would love to find out for myself. There are many stories that I have either seen the movie or just heard a version of the story. I would like to explore these readings to find stories that entertain and keep my attention. Twenty-Two Goblins Twenty-Two Goblins is a story that I know I like so far. I started it last semester but did not get around to finishing it. I recommend it to anyone who likes stories that are a little unusual. Canterbury Tales I read a storybook last semester that made me want to read these tales. It focused on Death and it grabbed my attention almost immediately.
