Extra Reading Diary: Nursery Rhymes

so i might have forgot to do my reading diary part B so i decided to make up for it with he one.

these were my thought while reading the Nursery Rhymes unit.

over all these stories are very... fun? is that the word im looking for?

these stories are crazy. I really dont understand the point of them. ( yes I understand that they are for entertainment) Like who made them up and why. they are so silly. when i think of Nursery Rhymes I think of little kids but there is no way that these are all for little kids or that little kids would understand them.

out of all the types of Nursery Rhymes I think that my favorite were the Accumulative Stories. I really like these because I feel like they represent the troubles that we have to deal with in our life. one things leads to another to another and they just keep building on each other, until one day we fix one problem and everything works its self out. just like the woman and the cat. 

while the Accumulative stories were my favorite group of stories my single favorite come from Relics.  

"THE girl in the lane, that couldn't speak plain,

Cried, "Gobble, gobble, gobble."

The man on the hill, that couldn't stand still,

Went hobble, hobble, hobble."

this one just made me laugh and for some reason it made me happy and that's why its my favorite   

Here is a pic of a wild turkey to go with the gobble

Reading Diary A: Nursery Rhymes

these were my thoughts while reading the Nursery Rhymes unit

man these rhymes are pretty crazy. i feel like they were written for kids but there are so many different types that i am not sure what to think. there were some funny ones like 

"I'LL tell you a story

About Jack a Nory, —

And now my story's begun.

I'll tell you another

About Jack his brother, —

And now my story's done." Nursery Rhymes: Tales

what does this even mean?

then there were some insightful ones 

"A SUNSHINY shower

Won't last half an hour."

Nursery Rhymes: Proverbs

there were confusing ones

"I HAVE a little sister, they call her Peep, Peep;

She wades the waters deep, deep, deep;

She climbs the mountains high, high, high;

Poor little creature she has but one eye.

[A star.]" 

Nursery Rhymes: Riddles

there were some violent ones 

"HUSH-A-BYE, baby, on the tree top;

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock;

When the bough bends, the cradle will fall;

Down will come baby, bough, cradle, and all."

how is this a good song to sing to a baby tome it sounds like the baby is falling out of a tree to its death.

 Nursery Rhymes: Charms and Lullabies

and then there is my favorite one 

"1. I AM a gold lock.

2. I am a gold key.

1. I am a silver lock.

2. I am a silver key.

1. I am a brass lock.

2. I am a brass key.

1. I am a lead lock.

2. I am a lead key.

1. I am a monk lock.

2. I am a monk key!"
