BR 1-15: The story of Little Red Riding Hood

“Remember the rules of the woods,” says Mrs. Red Riding Hood. “Keep to the path and Don’t TALK TO WOLVES!” But Little Red Riding Hood forgets the rules and now she must outwit the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood lived with her mother on the edge of some deep, dark woods. One day, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother gave her a pot of vegetable soup. Then Little Red Riding Hood’s mother tells Little Red Riding Hood “But remember the Rules of the Woods,” her mother added. Of course, “I will” promised Little Red Riding Hood and she set off. Little Red Riding Hood walked deeper and deeper into the woods. It grew darker and darker. Then the sun hid behind the clouds and it got darker still, so Little Red Riding Hood didn’t see the wolf waiting for her on the path, and the wolf didn’t see Little Red Riding Hood either. Little Red Riding Hood stepped on the wolf’s tail… then on his paw… and dropped her basket SMACK on his head. When it happened, she had forgotten the rule-Don’t talk to wolves. The wolf was about to gobble up Little Red Riding Hood, but then he had an idea. When Little Red Riding Hood left the path to look for flowers that she gave her grandmother, the wolf raced off to the grandmother’s house. The wolf leaped into the room. He gobbled up Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother. Then he climbed into bed to wait for Little Red Riding Hood. Soon he heard a knock at the door. He pulled on the grandmother’s cap and hid under-the blankets. Little Red Riding Hood looked at her grandmother. Of course, she looked again! When Little Red Riding Hood was now standing right next to the bed, he jumped out of bed and gobbled up Little Red Riding Hood. Then he lay down on the bed to sleep. As the wolf slept, he snored… very loudly. He snored so loudly the wood cutter heard him, but the woodcutter couldn’t see the grandmother anywhere-only a very fat wolf. Just then, the woodcutter had an idea. He picked up some scissors. Then he snipped open the wolf’s tummy. Snip, snip… He saw a bright red hood. Snip, snip…Little Red Riding Hood’s head popped out. Snippety-snip, faster and faster… The woodcutter kept cutting until grandmother popped out too. Quick as a flash, Little Red Riding Hood ran outside and picked up lots of stones. The wood cutter put them in the wolf’s tummy and the grandmother sewed the tummy up. The wolf never ate another person. As for Little Red Riding Hood, she never, ever talked to a wolf again.

I think a lot of people around the world know, and they have ever read this story. Little Red Riding Hood of this book story is a little different from the story that I read before. However, this story is interesting, too. Also, the illustrations are very cute, so a lot of people can enjoy reading this book.

Essays 1-03a: Joint movie comparisons

We watched movie about Robin Hood of Walt Disney series. Robin Hood is popular all over the world. It was made in America and it was published in1973. We like Walt Disney so we watched Walt Disney series. Many character of Walt Disney is cute. Robin Hood is one of the Walt Disney character. We talk about the story about Robin Hood.  Robin Hood lives in England. He is very famous in the city. He gave the dream and money for poor people. Prince John robs everyone of much money but he can't do anything by himself. His tool comes to everyone's place and his tool robs everyone of much money. Prince John is very bad! Everyone doesn't like him. Robin Hood and Prince John confront each other. Robin Hood is a master of archery and he is good at disguise. Everyone loves him. Everyone try to call back King Rechard. Finally, Robin Hood and Maid Marian get married. This story is adventure of love and courage. In this story, there are many characters. For example, Robin Hood, Prince John, Maid Marian, Little John and Sir Hiss so we introduce main character at first.

Robin Hood is fox. He is very famous in the city. He is a master of archery and fencing. He is good at disguise, too. He is a benevolent thief but he is very kind and everyone respect him. Many children imitate him. Anyway, Robin Hood is hero of everybody. Little John is his best partner. Robin Hood and Little John are recovered everyone's money which Prince John stolen. Robin Hood loves Maid Marian and finally they get married.  He is cool and great character.

Prince John is lion, and he is King Richard's younger brother. King Richard is a king in the country that Robin Hood lives before Prince John is king. However, Prince John usurped the throne of King Richard. Prince John behaves in a cowardly. For example, Prince John collects taxes mercilessly. Animals which live in the village where Prince John is king sink into poverty, and they suffer extreme poverty. Also, Prince John is often sucking its fingers like baby, so almost villager think he looks like a little child. Prince John has a weak character and he is timed very much. Prince John is greedy for money and power.

Maid Marian is fox. She is nobleman. She is King Richard’s niece and she is beautiful princess. She is called Prince Marian by everyone. She is very cheerful and kind. She loves Robin Hood. She and Robin Hood have known each other since they were small children. In this story, she dances with everyone. Her dance is cute. Its dance is same “Everybody Wants to Be a Cat” of “The Aristocats”. She wears long skirt and she hides the tail, but when she is dancing, we can see her tail.

Little John is bear. Little John lives the forests near the village where Prince John is king. Little John is Robin Hood’s friend, so Little John and Robin Hood are as thick as thieves. Little John and Robin Hood always take action together. The action is almost thief. Little John and Robin Hood is a gang of thieves. His name is Little John, but he is a giant bear. Little John is a cheerful disposition. Also, Little John is reliable, so a lot of people rely entirely on him.

Sir Hiss is snake. He is aide of Prince John but Prince John doesn’t hear to his talk. He is good at flattery and he curry Prince John’s favor every day. He is treated like disturbance so he is put in the box by Prince John and Little John. One of his jobs is finance. He is good at hypnotism, too. He uses it and he try to oust King Rechard. Finally, when King Richard comes back, he became prisoner.

This movie appears a lot of animal who live in the village where Prince John is king. For example, they are rabbits, turtle, bard, fox, and so on. Prince John behaves in a cowardly, so animals that live in the village where Prince John is king sink into poverty, and they suffer extreme poverty. All animals that live in the village where Prince John is king think Robin Hood is a hero because Robin Hood gives money to almost animals that live in the village where Prince John is king.

Prince John is really bad so Robin Hood and Little John makes good plan and they steal much money. It is interesting. Honestly, we think Prince John is fool! He often such his thumb and he say ”mom”. Its scene is very funny! Many characters are individual! In this story, we can watch many characters of animal. Everyone is friendly.

The begging has a lot of scene that animals are treated cruelly and brutally by Prince John.  Prince John of king collects tax every day. The incidents that king collects tax go down in history. We think the story of Robin Hood is a historical fact. Animals which are treated cruelly and brutally by Prince John did not dare to disobey. However, Robin Hood and little John confronted hardship with determination, and they rose against the cruel tyrant. All animal admired the general for Robin Hood’s bravery.

One day, there is contest of archery. When this time, he is very cool because he shoots a narrow at the mark and the arrow stuck in the mark of the middle! It is wonderful! Robin Hood is a benevolent thief but he is good fox. He becomes happy at the last. If you make good things, you can become happy, too. We should help someone who is in trouble.

Robin Hood and Prince John fight for the championship. The scene that Robin Hood fights for poverty villager is very cool. When you watch it, you would applaud a performer. Robin Hood that we watched is a version of Walt Disney is very cute. We think a lot of people can enjoy both text and illustrations. Therefore, the main supporting role plays an important part in this movie. If you watch them, you can’t take your eyes off the scene.

This story is good and interesting. Anyway, this story is happy story. There is many characters and they are exciting!  Robin Hood is very kind. He recovers everyone's stolen money. He is really cool! We think that this story is short story because this story is only 86 minutes. We want to watch this story more! Finally, Robin Hood and Maid Marian look like happy. We hope they are happy forever.

Robin Hood that we watched is a version of Walt Disney. The hero called Robin Hood was a fox in this movie. Robin Hood has a companion, and the companion was a bear.  His name is little John. The action have encourages us. No matter what happened, Little John and Robin Hood were never discouraged.

Little John and Robin Hood is a gang of robbers. However, they are also hero because they always give some money stole from rich person to poor person. The image of robber that a lot of people think is not good very much. If you watch this movie, you will change your image of robber. The other day, we just watched Robin Hood of a documentary film when we attended a class of western countries history. The opening was very grotesque for us, so we did not like the story of Robin Hood. However, Robin Hood which was a version of Walt Disney was very interesting and exciting. The movie has encouraged us. The illustration was also cute very much. In this movie, there were a lot of cute characters of animal. We know there is no point in saying it again, the story and illustration that Walt Disney created were great very much. We want you to watch Robin Hood which was a version of Walt Disney.

The story of this book is about flying elephants. Once upon a time, elephants could fly, and they flew everywhere. They flew high into the sky… and down to the ground. They even looped the loop. Sometimes, the gods flew on their backs. However, they were nasty fellow. Elephants that could fly were very noisy and they yelled. Also, they crowed like roosters, so trees and houses shock below them. They were insensitive to any pain they might inflect, so they flew into trees and smashed them. What more, they landed on houses and fell right through. Soon all the trees were broken and there were no houses left. Then the gods said “We must stop them, and they thought of a trick. They invited the elephants to a grand feast. The elephants ate and ate. When their tummies were full, they slept. After that, the gods took away their wings. Of course, the elephants were very cross. They shouted and they stomed. However, they didn’t get their wings back and they never flew again. Their action ruined theirs future. I think almost people thinks they want to fly someday.

BR 1-13 : The story of The Fox and the crow

“Fox is always hungry. One day he sees Crow, with some tasty cheese in her beak. Can fox persuade her to let go? This lively retelling of the classic Aesop’s fable has easy-to –read text and fun puzzles to try after the story.”

One fox lived in the forest, and the fox was always hungry. One day, he saw crow that have some cheese. Fox thought “I want that cheese!” When he thought that, he just hit upon a good idea. However, the idea that he hit upon was cunning. First, he grinned at crow “You’re pretty” Crow thought “ I am!” Next, he said “What beautiful feathers!” He praised crow one after another. Finally, he asked “Can you sing too?” Of course, crow nodded and she opened her beak… At that moment, down fell the cheese! The fox succeeded in the attempt. Fox snapped the cheese up. Crow said “That cheese was mine!” and she cried. However, fox laughed and fox ate the cheese. Fox told crow “Don’t always believe people who say nice things.” Also, he said “Sometimes they just want something from you”

I think the story of this book tells us both what you must answer without much thought and what you must take things more seriously. By the way, I readily take people at their word, so I think I must take no heed of what other say.
