Reading Notes A; Rumpelstiltskin

The Grimm Brothers' Children's and Household Tales translated by D. L. Ashliman; Rumpelstiltskin; Link

The main characters of the story are the millers daughter, the king, and rumpelstiltskin
The millers father tells the king his daughter can weave straw into gold
The king takes the daughter and asks her to fill a room with gold or else he will kill her
She cannot do so, but a little man named rumpelstiltskin comes in
He weaves the straw into gold three times for the millers daughter in exchange for her necklace, ring, and first born son of her and the king
Rumpelstiltskin says he will not take her first born child if she can figure out his name
She sends off a servant to find out all odd names he could find
On the third day he came across a little man dancing and saying his name
the queen (millers daughter) bested rumpelstiltkin and angered him so much he split himself in two
I could change the story by changing what the millers daughter can do. Maybe she can turn water into wine
The little man can come and help her but he takes different things from her, like her home, or her father to work
I could change the ending where rumpelstiltskin comes out on top and becomes king of land.

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo

Reading Notes: The Gold Giving Serpent

The story I have chosen for this week is The Gold Giving Serpent by Joseph Jacobs The poor farmer and the serpent are the main characters of the story I especially liked the serpent, he was clever and also was not to be messed with He taught the farmer a lesson about greed The farmer tried to betray the hand that fed him I could change the story to were the serpent was immortal and played dead and began to seek revenge on the farmer I could change it to a huge battle of the boy and the serpent for all the gold The snake lets the man be free after killing his son, I could re write that and have the snake take revenge on the farmer and kill him as well.

Reading Notes, English tales: Three Little Pigs

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan. I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting. Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf
