Reading Diary B: Japanese Fairy Tales (Ozaki)

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts of the second section of the Japanese Fairy Tales (Ozaki) unit. Story source: Japanese Fairy Tales by Yei Theodora Ozaki (1908).
  •  This just begins like a beautiful and classic fairy tale.  I love it already.  
  • Uh oh.  The mysterious old woman is giving him so very specific instructions.  
  • I mean at least the Goblin of Adachigahara was hospitable.  
  • Is it bad that anytime a text says Ogre I just picture Shrek? 
  • I laugh picturing a guy on a horse carrying a giant ogre's arm while riding into town.  
  • This old nurse is very manipulative!  
  • I like that in the end Watanabe never killed the ogre but he saved the town because it's now too afraid to ever come back. 
  • Hase-Hime sounds like Cinderella!  
  • Wow karma is a b!  Try and poison you'll step-child and you'll accidentally poison your own.  
  • In the last section of the story, "quite" should be "quiet". 
  • Yay!  See everything worked out for Katoda because he was a nice person.
