Reflection 2

To be honest I thought the story was kind of foolish. I knew it kind of seemed to get a message across, but the way they did it was kind of silly. What really affected me was how cool the rejected wife was ok with it. She didn’t seem to upset about it. This really shows calmness in a person and it also shows that sometimes you can just let it go. This made me really think about not trying to get revenge, or not being too mean and to think about the situation. She is a good role model in this way.

For being good and taking in those guinea fowls, only good came to her. Although good doesn’t always come to those who do well, I liked how they portrayed her as generous to the animals, and the animals returning the favor. I really like a good ending with some good morals. In real life I think the rejected wife could be portrayed as a victim of bullying, and the husband as the bully. The new wife could also represent the bully. The guinea fowls could be the victim’s friends aiding him/her through this tough situation. By thinking of this, I think I could more easily relate to this situation.

Overall, I do think this was a good story, and it could teach new lessons and morals.
