I love fairy tales so I'm looking forward to reading half of this unit. It sounds like the author mix and matched different stories and made them his own. It sounds exactly like what we do in this class so I think it'll be cool to see the differences and his techniques.
Beauty and the Beast: I've seen Disney's Beauty and the Beast, but I had never read the story before. This story was a bit less dramatic than Disney's. The way that Belle ended up with the Beast was interesting, but not that great. I did like how Belle found Beast in his garden at the end. This story makes much more sense with the rose, because it's explained in the beginning.

Blake,
So I have the freedom to comment on any of your blog posts, and well, I chose this one because it was at the top. And my comment has nothing to do with the reading diary, but more to do with how you organize this class into your constant writing of your novel!
I feel like I write and type a lot for this class, but you are doing this class PLUS writing a book…I am very impressed to say the least!
Hey, Blake,
I enjoyed reading your take on Europa’s Fairy Book. How’s your novel going? I hope it’s going well – along with your semester! Also, your sidebar is still vibrating weirdly. I don’t know if that’s just Google Chrome twitching in some sort of manic way, but it’s still kinda funny.
Best of luck with the rest of the semester! Talk to you later
