Extra Reading Diary: Turkish Fairy Tales

The link to this reading unit can be found here.

Patience-Stone and Patience-Knife

  • The random entrance and immediate exit of the bird
  • Animals characterized with speaking abilities/be able to communicate to humans
  • Repeated theme of the bird
  • "Oh my poor maiden, your kismet is with a dead person"
  • Like a bad omen
  • Fear of the bird coming back starting to impact the mother and daughters daily lives
  • Turned into something better than a bad omen

  • Definite plot twist when the Arab girl took credit for the Maiden's work
  • Strange connection between the ship stopping and a man on board not having kept his word for something
  • Didn't expect that's what the maiden needed the stone and knife for
  • I think the plot twist adds more interest to the story
  • Turn of events at the end of the story. Good for all but the Arab

  • The beginning sentence grabs the attention of the reader
  • Theme- two-->third
  • The idea that they were talking to a dead man
  • "At which I became angry and ran away to melon field"
  • Very interesting, somewhat odd story but I liked it
  • The ending wasn't expected
