The first thing I wanted to talk about was how little kid stories change throughout time. We discussed how Disney changed the story of Cinderella to being PG. Do you think that they should have? Obviously if they didn't, Disney could not produce it. I think that they should not have. Make up their own story, not copy someone else and change the story.
Although, I do find it quite interesting how really nice and inspirational stories were actually very brutal. Makes me wonder how other stories were twisted from the actual written literature. Bottom line, Cinderella is OBVIOUSLY not a kid story, haha.
In addition, I wanted to talk a little bit about Deerskin. I actually like how the book is written and how it is another easy read. I do think that Asher, her dog, is very symbolic and I wanted to see how it will be developed later in her book.
The only thing I did not like was the rape scene. I know we talked about how it was necessary to have it within the text, but, I do think he could have been brought out in a different way. That's just my personal opinion. I don't really want to get into a conversation about it, it's really not that big of a deal to me. I just thought I could through that in.
I'll be sure to bring up Ash this week!
