The Shee an Gannon andthe Gruagach Gaire: Wow, this story was kind of all over the place. There
was really multiple different stories embedded within. I still don’t really see
how all the different pieces fit together. There was a lot of violence in this story,
too.
Beth Gellert: No,
no, no! This is just like a story from the Welsh Fairy tales and I can’t handle
it. In all honesty, I stopped reading this story! A word of caution to animal
lovers!
The Tale of Ivan:
First of all, it’s really sad that Ivan has to leave his wife in search of
work. Just based off of this, if I was making a storytelling on this story I
might consider making it about an immigrant who comes to the U.S. to make a
living and must leave his family behind. And, even though I was surprised that
Ivan would leave without his wages, this story ended up being really cute. Ivan
followed all the man’s advice and was a good person and in the end was rewarded
well for his character.
Brewery of Eggshells: This
story is like a changeling story. I got an idea for a really dark storytelling
after reading this story. If this story were to happen in real life (a mom
throwing her children into a lake) it would turn up on a crime show. Thankfully
for this mother, she got her real children back. In the storytelling that came
into my mind, there was a much darker ending :/
