Point of View by Thomas Wilder https://padlet.com/thomas_wilder/l7zozz3j0v1j Choose a well-known story and rewrite it (or at least part of it) from the perspective of the story's villain. Your challenge is to retell the story through the villain's eyes, and in doing so make the reader believe that the "villain" is actually a "good character". Bonus points if you can make the story's original "good character(s)" seem like the "villain(s)" in your retelling. REMEMBER: You can't change any details of the story. All you are allowed to do is change the perspective. To help with this, pay attention to your WORD CHOICE, one of our skills for this week. Most of all, have fun! If you need to see an example, refer to the yellow post entitled "The Lion Prince". I can't wait to see what you come up with! en-us 2020-04-06 15:44:18 UTC 2020-04-23 18:05:47 UTC hello@padlet.com The Lion Prince thomas_wilder https://padlet.com/thomas_wilder/l7zozz3j0v1j/wish/495149495 Growing up, Joffrey never wanted to be king. Luckily, he had an older brother named Mufasa who would inherit the throne and so he wouldn't have to worry about that. Or so he thought. You see, Mufasa and Joffrey did not get along with each other. In fact, it was like they were complete opposites. Joffrey was always getting sick, was not particularly handsome, and had to work extra hard for everything he got in life. Meanwhile, Mufasa was a natural athlete, possessed good looks, and never had to work hard for anything his life.

One day while they were still cubs, the two brothers were out prowling the savanna when they came upon a hyena pup struggling to swim across the roaring river. To make matters worse, a massive crocodile was hungrily paddling out to gobble up the poor pup! In response to the hyena's plight, Mufasa simply muttered, "It's all part of the circle of life", and turned his back, leaving the helpless pup to his fate.

At that moment, Joffrey saw his brother for what he truly was - a heartless beast. In spite of his frail frame, Joffrey leapt into the rapids and saved the hyena from the sharp-toothed clutches of the crocodile! The croc's gnashing jaws left Joffrey permanently disfigured, which then earned him the mocking nickname "Scar" from his older brother - a title that unfortunately stuck and made Joffrey - or rather Scar - the laughingstock of the Pride Lands.

Years later, Mufasa became king, and ruled with the same, heartless disregard he had displayed that day by the river. He had a son named Simba who showed no respect for his elders, and instead chose to do whatever he pleased. Scar began to realize that if he didn't intervene that the cycle of indifference would pass from father to son and all the creatures of the Pride Lands would suffer as a result. And so, he did what he'd hoped he'd never have to do - he tried to become king!

Will Joffrey be able to dethrone his wicked brother Mufasa and take his rightful place as king, or will his brother's "hakuna matata", carefree attitude toward ruling doom the Pride Lands in this generation and the next? Find out in "The Lion Prince", available for streaming on Disney+ in April!

Not really...;)

One day, a letter arrived at the doorstep saying there is going to be a royal ball at the palace! How grand! Cinderella thought. Sadly the sisters could not spare another dress for her. Cinderella threw such
a tantrum, she conjoured rats, and such to make her an ugly blue gown.

As the sister’s were walking out the doorway Cinderella almost accidentally hit them with her glass heel.
“OMGG” the princesses dashed out the door to the arrival o the carriage. But nothing could stop Cinderella!
a plump fairy inside a giant pumpkin on wheels took her to the ball! Once Cinderella got inside the ballroom,
she immediately recognized the prince whom her sisters so loved. The prince showed Cinderella the garden, whilst her sisters were just trying to catch a glimpse of the handsome young boy. Cinderella realized that it was almost midnight, so without any goodbyes she wedged her shoe into the palace floor and ran!

With the help of her many rats’, Cinderella made it back home.

Driven mad by the recent industrialization of his forest home, he subsisted on the occasional rabbit and bird, far hungrier than he was just a few months prior, where foxes and deer roamed the plains. He became rabid and senseless, driven only by starvation and malice.

Meanwhile, a frail old lady had built a house in the center of the wolf's beloved woods. The clatter of the construction was deafening, and the wolf could not sleep for weeks. However, the worst was how she took her idyllic lifestyle for granted, taking gifts from her young granddaughter like a queen ordering around her servants.

A few days later, the wolf decided he had had enough.

Scoping out his surroundings, he saw the girl running around on that forest path, in her bright red jacket, plastered on her back like a target. This time, he followed her, walking silently for what felt like miles until he reached the wrinkled old coot's house.

His meal was the best he'd ever had.

He went to the park every day but it was this one particular day that everything changed. He was in the sandbox where he always played when three little pigs came up to him and said “get out of our sandbox but the wolf did not budge then the pigs went up to him and started pushing the wolf. The wolf was so scared he ran away. The next day he was strolling to the park when he saw the pigs in the sandbox. He decided to go back before they saw him. This happened over and over again until the pigs and the wolf were too old for the park. The wolf realized that he was way bigger than the pigs by now so wanted revenge. The next day he went to the first pig's house which was made from straw so he huffed and puffed and blew the house down. The pig came squealing out and ran to his brother's house before the wolf could get him. So the wolf went to the second pigs house which was made of wood and so he huffed and puffed and blew the house down. This time both of the pigs came squealing out and they ran to there other brothers house which was made with stone. The wolf came up to the house and did what he always did, he huffed and puffed and blew the house… not down. The house didn’t budge. The wolf tried again and again but nothing worked so he went home disappointed that he didn't get revenge.

The wolf's stomach was aching from hunger. Then a girl in a little red riding hood was strolling down the path. The wolf asked her what she was doing in the woods. She said that she was taking food to her grandmother's house. Then the wolf developed his plan to get food because the humans were treating him very poorly and not just leaving maybe a rabbit or a mouse for food. so, the wolf ran quickly to the grandma's house and got a snack. Then he disguised as his mid-day snack, grandma to get his well deserved second snack. Then the little child came in and did not notice that instead of grandma there was a wolf. The child gradually got closer and eventually the wolf finally jumped up and got its second well deserved snack, But the little child shrieked when he ate her so a hunter barged in and got the child and grandma out of the wolf.]]> 2020-04-15 17:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/thomas_wilder/l7zozz3j0v1j/wish/509037613 The Giant https://padlet.com/thomas_wilder/l7zozz3j0v1j/wish/510740269 When the giant was walking into the kitchen he smelled the blood of an human. He was questioning his wife about a human and she said there was no human around. when he walked away he saw a giant green leafy plant sprouting in out of the floor boards.

The next day he came back and still smelled human blood. He searched and searched but there was no sign of the little magician anywhere. The giant then decided to pull out the only escape route available to the little wicked human walking in his house and nibbling on his butter.

Then when he woke up he heard his goose squawking and ran to find who it was. As soon as he found the little thief he try to catch him but somehow the thief had got his hands on the harp and played the giant to sleep. When he awoke the rascal was nowhere in sight so he decided to go down the leafy stalk. half way down he saw the tricky human swing his axe and kaboom he fell down and everything was black...

One day mama made porridge but it was so hot so we decided to go for a walk and then come back and eat. When we came back home we saw that someone tasted papa's and mama's porridge and someone ate my whole entire porridge! I began to sob. Then papa saw that someone tried to sit on his chair and mama saw that someone sat on her chair. And then I saw that someone broke my chair! I was so upset I went to my bed to cry loud so mama and papa wouldn't hear my loud crying. But then I saw someone was in my bed! I tried to roar as loud as I can to scare her but she wouldn't budge so I got papa to scare her out of my bed. The girl ran out of the house and we never saw her ever again.

They saw a candy house and decided to go inside. Inside was a sweet little old lady. They hate old ladies, so they made her eat lots of candy. The old lady said no because she had no teeth. They gave her dentures so she could eat. The old lady ate lots of candy. When she ate half the house, her son came in. The son said "Don't make my mother eat all this candy! You are very mean for doing that to a sweet old lady." Since he was a very large person, they listened to him. They ate the other half of the house. When they were done, he cooked them. The son said "I think Mother will taste very good." So he cooked his mother. When they were medium rare, he ate them. The son said " Haha Mother! I don't have to listen to you. His chewed up Mother said " Son, go buy me a new house. The son said "Yes Mother."

She was always going up above the barrier. However, that was not the worst part. When she came up she would use her voice to call animals to her and then she would have them do her bidding.

Finally, a witch with the kindest heart known to merman named Ursula came to help. She was always looking for opportunities to help, and in her mind the current ruler was a real tyrant. So in her attempt to help she persuaded Ariel to come to her. Ursulas plan was to take her voice, and that she did.

One morning I was planing on making pancakes for my pups, but I was out of flour. So like any neighbor I was going to go check with my new neighbor down the street.

As I was waking there I began to have a bit of a cough, I didn't think anything of it. After the longish journey to the Pigs house I went to knock on the door and tripped on a rock. My body slammed into the door. "Well now I don't have to knock' I thought. "Hello little piggy, Its Mamma Wolf, do u have any spa- aaachoooo"

The house fell to the ground with a terrifying thud. I pranced towards the pile of rubble. The pig was nowhere to be seen. I got the flour and headed home.

Now the whole town is mad at me for what really was a big misunderstanding. I mean who builds a house out of straw? anyway that was my side of the story.

He needed directions to someplace that soled food. His kids and him haven't eaten in days! He came upon a straw house. He knocked on the door and a little piggy answered. As soon as the little piggy saw the wolf he screamed in horror and shut the door! The wolf just wanted directions to the nearest supermarket. So, he went searching for another animal to give him directions. He came upon a stick house and knocked on the door. After a minute or to, a pig answered. But this pig was mad! Really mad! He said, why did you try to eat my brother? What brother, I said? My piggy brother! I just wanted to know directions to the nearest supermarket. The pig was surprised because his brother told him a completely different story. The pig gave him directions and the lived happily ever after.
