Reading Notes- English Fairy Tales: The Three Little Pigs Part A

 Story source: English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs with illustrations by John D. Batten (1890).

I selected to write about this story because growing up this was one of my favorite tales to hear. After re reading this tale for the first time in years I forgot just how long and detailed it is. The lessons found within in it are also something every individual should take with them throughout life. The story is funny seeing just how much the wolf controls. He gets his way with each pig until he reaches the third. This is the wisest of them all, and this lays the foundation for what people need to carry in life with them. This pig realizes he physically does not compete with the wolf and needs to outsmart him. Just like in life when we compete for things wether on the playing field or for a job, we must highlight and utilize our talents. This piggy outsmarts the wold each time he arrives, eventually frustrating him to the point he is willing to come down a burning chimney. As this story is mostly for comedic relief I urge readers to take the lesson of using the skills you have when faced with an overwhelming challenge and to carry it with them their entire lives.

I plan on graduating at the end of this year (a year early) due to the amount of classes I have been able to fit into my schedule as well as taking summer classes. After graduation I plan on becoming a firefighter back in my home state of California. I am from a town located about twenty minutes outside of Sacramento in Northern California. Aside from school I love spending my time in the outdoors whether it be through sports or just for fun. I am currently a part of the Baseball team here at OU and have been since the beginning of my sophomore year. Growing up in California I was exposed to many outdoor activities such as snowboarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, and hiking at a young age. These activities have stuck with me and during my time spent at home due to the Coronavirus I was able to get

  Clay There was once two boys who came across a ball of clay that had a message attached to it. In the message it stated whoever came across it had the opportunity to create a new world. Though the instructions stated the new world must be created by two people.The two boys filled with excitement immediately started coming up with ideas of how they wanted to shape this new world.  One of the boys was named Thomas, he was very outgoing and loved sports. In school he was well known for his athletic ability and never struggled to make friends.
