Reading Notes: Ballads of Robin Hood, Part A
I have seen Robin Hood movies before, but I have never read the actual story. I am aware that he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I chose to read these stories because I want to see exactly what he does rather than a generalized idea of it.
Robin Hood
The Ranger was a great story. I like how the stories rhyme. It adds an extra special element to the story that others don't have. There is a little dispute going on between Robin and the ranger. There seems to be a power struggle between the two men. They take out their weapons and begin to fight. Robin Hood has some trouble, but never gives up. I think that I could take this same concept and make it more modern. Maybe I could have two kids in school that oppose one another and instead of having weapons they could be playing 4 square. I really enjoyed this story. Like I mentioned, this is the first Robin Hood story that I read in more detail and I liked it a lot.
I also liked reading Rescuing Three Squires. I think that the story was fun to read and was exciting. This is the stories of Robin Hood that I expected. I think that I could definitely use this story and make it more modern. Being able to transition an original story to something different can be challenging, but I think the original story sets me up for success.
