Brothers Grimm (Ashliman)
Cat and Mouse in Partnership: Wow, what a tough lesson for the mouse. The reader would like to see justice done to the cat, but the writer instead instructs the reader that the world doesn't always work that way.
The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids: Agh! Again! The reader would like to see the Miller stand up to the wolf, but he was frightened and did not. The Brothers Grimm have a dark outlook on the people of this world. At least the kids ended up alright and the wolf met his doom
The Seven Ravens: This story was very odd and trippy. I'm glad the family was reunited, though
Rumpelstiltskin: It's always fun to read this story. But now I think of Once Upon a Time when I read his name.
The Fox and the Cat: Interesting story. The fox was pretty arrogant in his thinking. The story started with him metaphorically looking down on the cat, but the story ended with the cat literally looking down on him. This could be a fun one to rewrite, but it would need to be lengthened.
Death's Messengers: I read this story interested in how they would portray death. I wasn't a fan. He just seemed like a bully who picked on the little guy. However, he did say that he favors no one. Also, people don't understand death most of the time, so it makes sense that the man did not recognize death's messengers.
The Hare and the Hedgehog: "And if they have not died, then they are still alive." Haha, what a fantastic line. I really like this story. The Hedgehog should be kinder to his wife, but, overall, it is a fun tale.
