Week 5 Reading Diary: Twenty-Two Goblins





"And as the monkey ate the fruit, he split it open and priceless, magnificent gem came out."
I think is a good way to start the story because it makes people wanting to keep reading to find out exactly what the gem is and what is going to happen.


(Talking of the mother's kid) "So his mother took him on her arm and angrily threw him into the blazing fire. And being tender, he was reduced to ashes in a moment."
This was a rather shocking turn of events that I was definitely not expecting... Once again, a very good way to keep the readers interested. This section had a lot of emotion in it too such as anger, hostility, shock, etc.


Praying to the Goddess.... "It was not right, for I was always devoted to you! Then, be my refuge when I pray to you..." There is so much death and emotion in this story, that it is kind of depressing... But it also makes the story interesting as well. This is when Lovely found her husband and brother in the condition that they were in and she wanted to kill herself after what she had seen.


"And after long prayer, he heard a voice from heaven, for at last Shiva was pleased with his devotion. "Oh King there shall be born to you a brave son to continue your dynasty, and a daughter more beautiful than the mymphs of heaven."

"One day at the spring festival, the king went to the garden to play with his three wives." I thought this was funny and very different. Its crazy that its completely normal for them to say "the king went to play with his three wives" and the fact that the King has 3 wives.
