Extra Reading Diary - Turkish Fairy Tales

For my Extra Reading Diary, I decided to read Turkish Fairy Tales.

Fear - I was surprised how this boy never experienced fear, and did not understand the concept.  It was amazing how he was able to get through all of those different tasks.

Fear (cont.) - It is surprising that after all of the adventures the youth went through the youth was able to be surprised by a small act.  Having the bird flying out of the soup lid, was something he could have done at his home instead of traveling the world.

The Wizard-Dervish -I am surprised that the young Prince was not shocked or upset about being taken away from all he had known for the past 20 years.  He also was completely ok with being taken away to the strange place and marrying the young maiden.

The Wizard-Dervish (cont.) - I wonder why the young maiden had hid both herself and the young Prince from her mother.  There seemed to be no apparent reason for this.  Also, since they were getting married, wouldn't it be only right that they go and meet the mother of the young maiden?

The Fish-Peri - I wonder how the neighbor of the young man saw that there is was someone in the young man's house every day.  If the maiden was inside, how would it be possible for someone to tell?

The Fish-Peri (cont.) - I am glad for the happy ending to this story.  It was very rude of the Padishah to come in and demand the maiden and make the young man perform all of those difficult tasks just so he could keep the woman he wanted to be his wife.
The Crow-Peri - The lala is a very cruel person.  All he wants to do is to make the bird-catcher be punished for not producing a certain special prize for the Padishah.  And this is all stemming from the fact the lala is just jealous of the bird-catcher.

The Crow-Peri (cont.) - The lala is such a mean hearted person.  I know I mentioned it before, but the fact that he is jealous of the bird-catcher and the Padishah no matter what they do shows just how spiteful he is.
