Technology

     This post is dedicated to expressing my impressions of the technological requirements for this course. 

    I feel at this point i am beginning to feel comfortable with the blog formatting and usage on this site. I think the explanations are more than enough help to get me through. I am good at checking back on course announcements and I feel I should be able to figure out the support sites and content sites with ease. I have spellcheck and word count. I can bookmark and I have a variety of browsers.

Extra Credit Reading Notes: Hansel and Grethel Pt. 2

Image
Story source: Household Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm , translated by Margaret Hunt (1884). Plot: The children Hansel and Grethel arrived back at their father's house by the way of the stones.  The step-mother answered the door and pretended to be excited to see them. The father actually was glad to see them.  After some time, the mother suggested the same plan because the family was once again out of food.  Hansel again heard the conversation and went to pick up stones as he did the first time. However, the step-mother had locked the door. Instead, the next day, Hansel dropped balled up bits of bread to follow back to the house.  When the night fell they were unable to find the crumbs left behind.

 Down the Rabbit hole pt.1 Source Story:  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland  by Lewis Carroll (1865). There once was a boy named Brock.

Story source: Household Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm , translated by Margaret Hunt (1884). Plot: Hansel and Grethel were the children of a poor woodcutter and his wife.  The parents decided to take the kids out into the forest, give them one loaf of bread and leave them there essentially to die.  The dad didn't want to do it but was eventually convinced by his wife. The kids were awake and they heard the whole plan. Hansel went outside (by night) and found some shiny rocks and put them in his pockets.  The parents took the kids into the forest to abandon them. Hansel periodically stopped, drawing the attention of his father. He had been stopping so that he could drop some of the shiny pebbles.  When night fell Hansel used the shiny pebbles to guide them back along the right path. The End. Thoughts:  This portion of the story seems to have a happy ending! I had no idea that the parents were so involved in the story. The version I had heard growing up wa...
