Thoughts on 1,001 Nights- Morgan Moran
- I agree with Marcus about the story The Resolution of the Porter and the Three Ladies. I was very confused reading the first two pages, and I didn't really understand who the characters were and what was going on.
- Tale: The Mistress of the House’s Tale matched my expectations of what I thought a real tale was. This tale included life lessons, a love story, and non realistic characters. From the Jinni flying in the air to turning the two older sisters into dogs, it gave the story a supernatural touch. I also thought this tale was interesting and I couldn't stop reading it. The Jinni also really caught my attention because he left his Jinni brothers/ world to be with a human. Lastly, the way the Jinni's wings were described in this tale was magical.
I agree with both your points. I did not enjoy the The Resolution of the Porter and the Three Ladies as much as I enjoyed The Mistress of the House’s Tale. My idea of a tale matches yours and I felt as though The Mistress of the House's Tale was able to fulfill my expectations of a tale. I like how you included the supernatural touch because as I was really I found that part very interesting as well. Overall I thought the story kept my attention and I could have kept reading more about it.
