Fate
- Only son-desirable
- The king wanted there to be an arranged marriage. My first thought after finishing the first paragraph was that I'm glad that the son objected-(I'm not a fan of arranged marriages)
- The son wanted to have some control and knowledge of his own fate*
- I also like the journey aspect and meeting strangers along the way that help him.
- This story definitely took a dark turn when the son wasn't happy about his fate..I think if I retold this story this dark part wouldn't be in there. Or maybe it would, but only in a way where he stops himself and something better becomes of it.
- The ending was very interesting. It was cool how it came full circle-fate
- The way he rose to be a judge
- It's good that he didn't fall to corruption and take the bribe of the man- it seemed to pay off for him in the end of the story.
- First paragraph and throughout the story-how the writer used repetition
- Passage of time
- A story of rags to riches and back to rags..it was overall a sad story that he lost all of his riches since he didn't listen to the clever man
- I think if I retold it it wouldn't be a snake giving him riches but possibly something else
- I also feel I might expand on the dialogue between the young man and his wife
