Reading notes: Chinese fairytales Part A

Today I focused on the description of the characters in the fairy tales. Specifically, I really enjoyed the story about the panther. The idea of the kids telling the panther that he has big eyes and big feet remind me of the story of little red ridng hood.  The other story with great descriptors was the story about the God of War. The way that they described his eyes and eyebrows and face were great and had amazing imagery.
