This week, I have chosen to read the Brothers Grimm unit from Dan Ashliman's Grimm Brothers' Children's and Household Tales. The first story, Cat and Mouse in Partnership, is very interesting. I never knew that a cat and mouse could be in a relationship. The cat kept lying to the mouse about eating their winter food. As soon as the mouse found out, the cat ate the mouse too! You can't trust a cat. I realized from this unit that many stories were about deception. I am learning about deception in my Persuasion Principles course. Yes, it is wrong for the animals to deceive each other but they do it for survival. I think this unit is great for recreating a story in my own way.
