I really enjoyed this week’s unit for
several reasons, the first of which is because I think the stories had a really
good flow together. One important aspect of a story that encompasses several
other smaller stories is that they contain a nice flow and one does not seem
abrupt. I noticed that they all seemed to encompass ideas that were similar and
had the same sense of storyline.
Something else that I enjoyed about this story
was that there were stories
that were about animals, I really enjoyed reading these
stories and felt that I was able to truly engage myself in the stories because
they involve stories that obtain things I enjoy.
One of my
favorite stories from this unit was the The
Wonders of Saint Berach, I really enjoyed this story because I felt that it
taught a great lesson. It showed us that even when someone wrongs you, you need
to somehow find a way to forgive him or her and move on. I think that is a very
hard lesson for people to sometimes understand and perform because we find it
so easy to hold grudges against people and not let things go and move on.
One thing
that I feel potential readers should know before reading this story is that it
is written in “very old English”. So then because of this some of the ideas and
words are hard to understand. Now this should not deter people from reading
this because it is a great story and holds a lot of creativity that should be
appreciated by many.

I think it
is important to challenge yourself on readings that are difficult in order to
grow as a reader and then you can apply that new knowledge to stories that you
will write in the future. Overall I think this was a great unit that offered a
wide variety of options to pick from, I look forward to the next unit!
