In the second half of “The Arabians Nights’ Entertainment” by Andrew Lang, I read about “Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.”
I really enjoyed reading the second half of the Arabian
Nights Units. The stories of Aladdin brought me back to my childhood. Although
the stories were similar, they were also very different! These specific stories
did not have the same “Disney feel” that I expected them to have.
I enjoyed the vivid colors and descriptive characters
embedded within this specific unit. In these stories, Aladdin had both a
magical lamp and a magical genie. Both of these characters performed different
types of magic and have different powers. I thought it was cool how the genie
could perform some wishes that the lamp couldn’t (and vise-versa!)
I also loved how everyone in the town admired Aladdin. These
stories described Aladdin as a noble, genuine man. Throughout the stories, he
fell in love with the princess and later became her husband. At the very end of
the unit, Aladdin became the royal king of his town.
After reading this unit, I want my story to have a happy
ending. I also want it to have details regarding gold jewelry, large castles,
horses and rubies. These stories were captivating due to their imagery and exciting
adventures.
I want my story to capture my audience’s attention by making
my characters lovable and royal. There is something about beautiful clothing, villains
and hometown heroes that can draw you into a story! I am excited to start my own
story for this week!
