The True Story Of The 3 Little Pigs!

"The True Story of The Three Little Pigs"
by A.Wolf (funny name)

Characters:
The wolf: The main character is the wolf.
I don't really know if he is a protagonist of an antagonist actually.
Because he is not really a hero.

However I think he is a round one.
At the beginning, his intention wasn't to cause trouble to the pig, I think he is not that "bad"
All he wanted was sugar.

Setting: Backdrop
We don't know when it happened exactly.

Narrative point of view:
Internal Narrator because of the uses "I" to refer to himself.

Plot:
I think this is an episodic one.

In the end, I think it is a parody of the original story.

--------

The story is told from a different point of view, that's why I like it.
It is told from the "Big Bad Wolf" and all he said was that it was all a mistake, a terrible misunderstanding.

But of course, no one is going to believe his side of the story what a shame.
He was put in jail even if his intention wasn't to harm anyone.

But well ethically, even if someone didn't kill a person on purpose,
he will be judge and will likely go to prison to purge a sentence.

A death is a death, a murder is a murder, life is unfair and all of this was created by society.
well it's all about the "Social Contract" states by Rousseau.
"Man is born free, but he is everywhere in chains."

They say man are all born free, but in reality we cannot do what we really want.
Something invisible is controlling us, and we all know it.

Law, rules, society, social manners and even our own feelings.

"I didn't mean it"
"I shouldn't have said that"

How many times, have we hurt others but being out of control?
How many times, have we regretted what we have said under anger?
By being lured by our own feelings.

Actually one of the reason why the wolf went to jail was because in the end he was possessed by his own feeling, by his anger.

He was framed,
Maybe that wasn't entirely his fault.
The last pig was a bit mean as well.
"And your old granny can sit on a pin" he said.

Maybe the third pig had a bad day, maybe he was merely mean but anyhow
it was all about feelings haha.

Anyway,
sometimes it's better to calm down and think rationally of the situation and the of consequences,
instead of doing something on the spur of the moment and saying "oops" after.

Because sometimes, it might be too late.
And some people forgive but never forget.

"Doctor DeSoto" by William Steig



"Doctor De Soto"
by William Steig

The main reason why I chose this book, was because of its cover: It is Yellow.
I don't wear much yellow (or not at all), but I just like this color.

The second reason why I chose it, is because it seems short and I am lazy (I said it before).
However, I am trying not to (I said this too), so next time I will chose a longer one. (not because I am trying not to, but because I like to read too). (I seem really contradictory, but logical at the same time, please no need ti waste time thinking about all the nonsense I just stated previously, I don't even get it myself.)



                            However, even if it's short, I still can say something meaningful.

   
     In Brief, Doctor De Soto is dentist and he is a mouse.
He is working with his wife Mrs. De Soto as his assistant.
And for their own security, they refuse to treat any dangerous animal to them, like cats and others...

Predictably, a vile predator begged them for a treatment.
They accepted and in the end, they successfully outfoxed him, because obviously he was going to eat them anyway (how ungrateful!)

What I like about this book, is the illustrations.
For god's sake, look at their tiny cute eyes, and how small they are.
They look so cute that it makes me want to squeeze them!
(I guess, I might be a dangerous animal to them too)

 
   I think I will be a Mouse if I were a character in the story.
They will of course treat me as patient, but it doesn't mean that I won't harm them.
It is not because I look harmless, so that I actually am.

We all the same in real life,
We are all humans, we are all the same.
However, we are not harmless.
We destroy ourselves, we are our own Nemesis (how interesting).


And it reminds me of the proverb stated by Thomas Hobbes (If I got it right):
"L'homme est un Loup pour l'homme" In french, or "Homo homini Lupus" in Latin or "A man is a wolf to another man". I couldn't find the translation in Chinese, but I saw an article in Korean on it on Wikipedia (...What?!).

Which mean that "We" as Humans are likely to kill each other.
We somehow act like a wolf, fearless, cruel... big bad wolf yeah.

We love each other, we hate each other but we cannot live without one another (Really paradoxical, humans are really complicated and curious things.).

Appearance are deceptive.
Stay Alert.
