Reading Notes: Twenty-Two Gobblins-Part B

Some weeks I choose to pick a different story to write about on the second reading assignment in order to be exposed to more authors and writing styles. As well as, I am so indecisive and want to be able to read all the stories. However, this week in reading the Twenty-Two Gobblins Unit I was very intrigued and really enjoyed what I read and the different aspects the unit included. One of the most prominent things that really stuck out to me was the way in which each different story contained a separate story or riddle within it. The other thing that really stuck out to me was the conclusion of the unit’s Part B. I really enjoy stories where the real antagonist is unknown until the very end of the story. For the Twenty-Two Gobblins unit, you are left thinking that the Gobblin is the bad guy throughout the story, until you reach the end and learn that the real bad guy was the monk. He was plotting to take over the King’s throne but his cooniving ways were exposed.

Hopefully, it doesn't go too fast, as I am still in the process of figuring out what my life will look like after graduating. I had always been the student in college that took as many classes as possible to try and graduate early until I realized that there was no fun in that. Now I am trying to enjoy my last year, take it as it comes and live in the moment. Unrelated to school, I enjoy doing a lot of different random things. Thanks to quarantine, I have gone from a place where I could be featured on America's Worst Chefs to an advanced novice (those two words don't really belong together but you get the point) in all things sushi and tacos. I also have a great appreciation for reading and even g...

Week 3 Story: Wise Owl, Greedy King

There once was a king who's land had fallen into a tretcherous despair. The land was not producing crops and the people had become poor and famished. The king was unhappy and hated to see his people in suffering so he went to the wise old owl who lived right outside the city gates.
