The Language of Animals was filled with so many emotions.
There were scenes of embarrassment, sadness, pride, guilt, and more. My
favorite scene in this story was the end where the son comes back to his
father, and mentions how he is the son that he wanted to kill. I was glad he
came back to see the father, so the father could realize his worth.
I was not expecting the father to be so brutal towards his
own child. I was a little shocked at the fact that he wanted him killed, and to
have his heart brought back. I feel the moral of this story was that everyone
is special in their own way, and sometimes it’s hard to understand how someone is
special, but once it’s understood, others realize their worth. This is the take
I got on this story, and something I could use to write my own version.
This story reminded me a lot of my brother and his two pet
birds. He absolutely loves them, and takes care of them as if they were his
kids. Haha. I can use my brother’s love for his birds as my inspiration on my
twist on this tale. I also really enjoyed the journey the son was on after he
was unwanted. I feel he also realized his worth on this journey. This was one
of my favorite parts as I was reading, as well.
I feel this will be a fun story to put my own twist on! I
look forward to writing about self-worth, and unique ways everyone is special.
I also plan to include the many emotions from the original story into my own.
One thing I wish there was more of was dialogue, so I plan to use dialogue and
imagery. Wish me luck!
