I read The Queen Bee by The Brothers Grimm, Regret by Kate Chopin, and Lucas Beauchamp by William Faulkner. Each story was completely different in the ways that they were set up. The Queen Bee was a fairy tale that was very detailed and had far fetched ideas what children would like. It talked about the journey a few men had in finding their wives. They had a mission to find the best one and went through all of these activities such talking with animals to do it. In the end the best man who was the kindest got help from the animals in the story and got the prize of the best wife.
Regret was a very serious drama. It was a very old story and used wording that showed it. This made it somewhat hard to follow in places but you still got the main idea. This story was about a lady who was seen as a hard working person who did everything for herself and by herself. She ends up having to watch her neighbors children while they are away and becomes attached to them and realize that she is not as stone like as she may have thought. She had feelings and could love someone other than her dog.
Lucas Beauchamp was a story of children who grew up being told what to do and end then end became men who were free to make the decisions they wanted to knowing that they knew all of the lessons life had to offer. It was a bit hard to follow and had many, many characters but it was a very plain story in the idea that it did not have much drama or suspense.
