These were my thoughts as I was reading The Monkey King Sun Wu Kung
I really liked the story of the monkey king. I thought that he was a good charter. his name is a good description of what he really is. A Monkey King. Monkeys are smart and witty but they also cause trouble just as the monkey king did. Kings are wise and powerful. when you put the two words together you get someone who causes a little bit trouble but who is also very powerful and this is exactly what the monkey king is. As i was reading i was wondering why he was a monkey like why did the original story teller make him a monkey. they best thing i could come up with would be so that it is ok if he does foolish things. In The Destiny of Sun Wu Kung the circlet that is placed on Sun Wu Kung must be very powerful if it is able to control him. As i was reading i was disappointed that the story was coming to an end because like many of the other stories i thought it was just going to come to a stop. I really liked that it included a synopsis of the other stories in Journey to the West (synopsis) and that we were able to see the adventurers that he goes on in Journey to the West (conclusion) . I liked at the very end when it says " and lo! the helmet was gone." the monkey king mush have been so happy to finally reach his goal and have that circlet removed
