For part B, I decided on the story of "The Rabbi's Bogey-Man". The story begins as all stories do with a little background information and a little foreshadowing. I am a big fan of the foreshadowing as it gives me, the reader, a chance to do some thinking about the story and what I can expect or even wonder about the next move of the story. The people of Rabbi Lion's town were scared of the rabbi. People through out the town saw that blue and red flames could be seen in his windows at night, and it was believed he was calling demons and witches. This story has a lovely start as the main character is seen as the villain in his town and I love the fact that he is portrayed in that fashion. The rabbi then proceeded to make a creature that was a robotic woman to aid the rabbi. The story continues as the town finds out about the robot and the king wanted the robot to be turned over, but the rabbi convinced the king to let the rabbi keep. The story then takes a classic turn when the rabbi's creation turns bad and begins to try to attack the synagogue and break in. The rabbi turns hero and destroys the monster and was left in pieces. The rabbi kept his triumph and told the story for years to come. I love stories like this as the bad guy, in the beginning, proves himself/herself to be a person of good and help those who thought he was a villain. Rabbi Lion seemed he was just a weird, old man that was creating robots for himself, but he actually showed that what he does can help the town as well as he is prepared to destroy and take down his creation if need be.
