I really liked how you told the story as well as how it ended up being sort of like an origin story for candles. It definitely made me want to read the South African folktale.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477760929691612645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624205718121734803.post-62810483148954300682020-09-07T16:16:08.223-04:002020-09-07T16:16:08.223-04:00Hi Laura, I would like to start by saying, Wow tha...Hi Laura, I would like to start by saying, Wow that is such a creative twist. Honestly I would have never thought of taking that simile and turning it into an entire prologue to pigmalion. I agree that it may be a bit of a downer, but that is why I like it. A lot of stories have happy endings and I enjoy the reality of life being placed in these stories. I wonder if this story were to have been told in Ovid's time, if it were to be used as part of some sort of lesson. It kind of reminds me of Icarus who flew to close to the son, I wonder if the lesson for this story would be a lesson more toward children to heed a parent's advice or that curiosity can be dangerous. what if in future edits or iterations you did add that sort of lesson into it or even added how worshipers of Venus interpreted this story given that the candles now reside in her temple?afranca96https://www.blogger.com/profile/17433946722633546089noreply@blogger.com
