Symbols in The Robber Bridegroom

 When you first read a book ,novel, comic, or newspaper, you don't really see the symbols. But once you read it more closely that  symbol are hidden in plain sight.In one such example, in The Grimm Brothers The Robber Bridegroom, the bird in the cage represents being trapped.In the story the bride hears a voice crying out " turn back, turn back, you young bridge. You're in a murderer's house." as a warning to not get killed. But, both brides simply ignore the warning,both brides ending up getting killed and eaten by the robber.

work in progress: What makes a story?

To me, the things that are important in a story are character development and plot. What I like about character development is that you can know the character more in depth. You can also relate that character to in real life.  You might even grow attachment of the character for; their personality, looks, and actions. These can also hate a certain character. Even sometimes might even pair up certain characters into a couple. But, you don’t have to be embarrassed with that because it’s your opinion and some people might like it, some not but it’s their opinion and should respect it.

What I like about plot is that it gets you intrigue in the story and it leaves you wondering what might happen next. Sometimes the plot can be good some can be bad. To me, the plot is the thing that lets readers liking the book because without a good plot, it’s just boring.

Review for M is for magic( WIP)

Over break I've read a short story collection called M is for Magic by Neil Gaison. He particularly writes fantasy stories one of he's famous books is Coraline ( which I loved )The stories strengths is also its weakness which is mainly just some stories just lacked what it intended for and others were just amazing.

I really liked The Witch's Headstone, which was a story about a real boy who was been living in a graveyard and raised by ghosts. He decides to do a very kind thing for a ghost who didn't get a gravestone and the story really follows the adventure that goes with his decision.

The story I really love is,The Case of the four and twenty blackbirds.In this story the author's uses a spin on a nursery rhyme . Basically it's a detective needs to solve the mystery of who killed Humpty Dumpty. It is told with attitude and is very funny.The author put the character more in depth as if the character came to life. Gaison also uses foreshadowing to show hints about what really happened to Humpty Dumpty.

This book was intended for  elementary / middle school but besides that I would recommend it for people who love Gaison's work and for young adults who loves fantasy or .
