For this week’s extra reading diary, I chose to read the
Arabian Nights unit. I was interested in
learning more about this once I discovered that it incorporated the story of
Aladdin which was always one of my favorite childhood stories. One story that I particularly liked was
Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp 1. This
story gave me more insight to the story that I already knew about Aladdin and his
upbringing. Aside from part one of the
story, I really liked all of the stories of Aladdin and the Wonderful
Lamp.
Though the beginning of the unit was interesting, I enjoyed
the second half a lot more because it told the stories I was more interested
in. Aside from the stories themselves, I
also really liked the images that went along with the stories. Even though most of the images were in black
and white, they were very compelling.
Another story I really liked was The Story of the Parrot. I thought it was sad in the
story when it said, “The husband, who knew that it had neither rained nor
thundered in the night, was convinced that the parrot was not speaking the
truth, so he took him out of the cage and threw him so roughly on the ground that
he killed him. Nevertheless he was sorry
afterwards, for he found that the parrot had spoken the truth.”
