Notes:
READING A:
The Rustic and the Nightingale
I think I would write this story in first person, detailing the bird and what it was doing. I would give the bird dialogue as well. I wouldn't write as much dialogue, as right now it is too long.
The King, the Falcon, and the Drinking-Cup
For this kind of story, I would make the animals talk to the king in a way that the others cannot hear. The people he is with will think he has gone crazy. The king doesn't want people to think he has gone crazy so even though the animals are talking to him and he finally has sympathy for him, he decided to shoot and kill the next bird he sees. His friends think him brave and strong. The animals he can talk to are now upset and don't understand why he would do such a cruel thing. The king apologizes to the animals around him and to the bird's family of who he has shot. But all of a sudden the king's friend goes to shoot another bird but accidentally trips on a branch right as he released the trigger and he shoots and kills the king.

All of the men run away because they are scared and they also know they need to run to get help. As the men disappear from the crime scene, the limp king's body lay still. All of a sudden, the body is lifted into the air and transformed into a bird. Just like the one he shot. He lives the rest of his life as a bird trying to survive in the wilderness and change the minds of hunters who just hunt for sport as he did.
I would write a story about the water and how it heals, protects, or harms if you displease it. The water commands its visitors to perform tasks and to report back to it in return for one life-changing favor. Someone wishes for the king to die. What happens next to the wisher isn't good.
Note: I read through the other stories, but none of them spoke to me in creativity as the the Drinking Cup story. This is what I will write about for my story for week 4.
