Reading Notes: The Red-Eyed Duck (B)

I think this was an interesting story. It kind of reminded me of going to the park with my grandpa and feeding the ducks. However, this story was a little dark. I think some of the things I can change up is the man in the story. Instead of making him sound evil, I want him to be nice to the ducks. I would like for the ducks to always be waiting for him and maybe have him be someone that grew up going to that same park, and singing to the ducks.

I would like to make this story more relatable to people, and not so scary. I think it could always be written like a children’s book where all the characters have their own personality, and talk to the man.

I think this would be really cute, and something fun to read. My favorite part in this story was the singing part. I would like to include familiar songs that the old man sings. I think I’ll have fun writing this story, but it will be a difficult to stick to the original story because the original story I wasn’t a fun of as much. However, I think I can be creative with this story. The songs will definitely be my favorite part.
