Jack in the beanstalk

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
We read Jack and the beanstalk by Steven Kellogg.  We characterized Jack as Brave, but he also showed attributes of being clever and maybe a bit cunning or sneaky. He was brave in that he climbed the tall bean stalk and face an mean looking later and went into the house an ogre when he could have been eaten.  Each time he does, he manage to take some of the ogre wealth. The first was a bag of gold, the second was a golden hen, and finally he took a harp. After this last time, he had to cut the plant down because the ogre was after him.  Upon returning the second and third , he shows signs of clever or cunning. The second time, he avoids knocking.  When he sees the lady, she says didn't I see you before. My master has this problem about a missing bag of gold. He tells her , I might know something but I can't tell you until my stomach gets full.  So she lets him in and gives him something to eat.   

Megan wrote a letter to the character Jack telling him that she liked the story. She also told him which part of the story she likes best, which was when he believed the elderly guy and traded a good milking cow for 5 beans.
