Reading Notes: Ballads of Robin Hood, Part B
I enjoyed reading part A of this week's assignment, so I jumped right into part B!
My favorite story from this part was Robin Hood and Maid Marian. It is nice seeing Robin Hood be in love. It is a different kind of story than the other original sources. It is nice having a different style of story. When they must part, it makes me instantly think of ways for them to get back together. Will he come find her? Will he use a disguise so they can be together? Will they completely forget one another and go back to their regular lives? I love when stories make me question what the ending will be. This shows that it truly draws me in and makes me want to continue reading (which doesn't happen too often!). They both took matters into their own hands to find one another. It is sad that they are fighting with one another! I hope that neither one of them gets seriously injured! They end up together! This gives me hope that other classic stories can have good endings like this as well. I think that this story drew a lot of inspiration for me about what to further include in my stories. I think that I could retell this story present day. It may be that two people meet, but the next day they are halloween and they must disguise themselves while trying to find one another. This may be confusing, but I have a good idea flowing in my head! I really enjoyed reading this story. It was definitely my favorite out of all of the Robin Hood stories.
Robin Hood
Clicking on the story of Robin Hood's Death took me aback. I never knew that Robin Hood died. It is nice to know that they followed Robin Hood's wishes for his death.
