Bestiary

I completely agree with Katie when she says that she found Bestiary articles very humourous. I have to say that the one i found was most interesting is the Caladrius, it just has such a story to it. About a sick man who can be saved by this bird if the bird continues to stare at him. It is a type of fantasy, you almost wish some of these things are true.

I also thought that with an animal like the fox, he is percieved and being myschevious and is posed as a more negative animal. We follow chacteristics like this through our lives. What i mean is that if you look at stories like Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf this is what has always given me the idea of a fox being bad instead of good. I think it all has to do with how obvious the animal is and if there is something that has made us think this rather then the actual animal. I know that without have Little Red Riding hood i never would have imagined with such a negative image in my mind. I think that you have to step back and think about it, if you have been persuaded about an animal because of it being exposed or if it truley makes sense as to why this animal has been categorized as this.
