Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp 1:
This story was a fun read so far. It's a nice idea that young Aladdin will gain a trade but really sad that a selfish magician would manipulate a family that already has so little. Poor Aladdin being left in the dark for two days - his mother must have been worried sick. Not only was it sad to be left alone, but it would also be sad to go back to the mother and tell her that the relative she thought was now alive was in fact not alive and was just a con artist.
Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp 2:
Wow, Aladdin seems a bit obsessive. Sort of scary. I feel like he is way head over heels and frightened the poor princess but didn't seem to comfort her - he just fell asleep beside her. It was terrible that the sultan did not keep his word and wait three months, though, before he gave his daughter's hand away.
Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp 3:
Aww, I really like this story. Aladdin was so humble, patient, and respected the princess enough to wait on marrying her in order to make sure she would have a nice home ready. That's really sweet. It's also great that the Sultan kept his word but also wasn't too desperate to give his daughter away to anyone. I feel like most, if not all, vizirs in this unit are evil though - what's up with that? Anyways, I really like how even when Aladdin started winning battles and gaining fame, he was humble and showed respect where it was due.
Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp 4:
This was so sad. It's not the princess's fault really, but the magician just can't leave him alone. If he left the lamp in the cave in the first place, he musn't need it. Jealousy makes people do some crazy things. The poor princess must be terrified. Also, it must have been quite a sight to have the palace all of a sudden disappear.
Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp 6:
Wow, that was a bit crazy, too. I wonder how the roc's egg would have killed them and how the genie knew it was the evil magician's younger brother who was in disguise. I think it's sweet that Aladdin would have done even that for his wife. He really seems to love her.
